Ah, but here’s where you’re wrong, Mr. Poopy-pants. Building a MOC that is an exact replica of something else is the hardest thing to do and (usually) requires the most creative and cunning use of bricks. Making a great representation of something is definitely the true mark of a master.

Once again you expose yourself as an fool, Mr.Schin. Something that is “the hardest thing to do” and requiring “cunning use of bricks” is usually not very much fun. All this and that I am hardly a “master” by any sense of the word. Therefore you prove me correct. Hahaha. I laugh at you and your now obvious sense of embarassment.

But ya, I didn’t mean to demean people who do movie-realistic models.. I just don’t do it. And by ‘not very creative’ - I was refering to the act of limiting your creation to an exact detail of the model at hand - as opposed to allowing yourself free range of shapes and solutions that you get from being just ‘inspired by.’ (read=without limitation)

I could swear you just said “spacers have it easy compared to those who model things grounded in reality”... But maybe I misread???

Either way, space is more fun!

I really like it Lenny, but all the black should be switched with dark gray. Then exchange the light gray with white that you’ll buy from stores. Then write a comic about his adventures.
