Hi all;
I've been meaning to create a website for ages, but not having a camera
(digital or otherwise) made it difficult. However, my thanks to fellow VLC'er
Bryan Wong for bringing his digital camera to the last meeting, and
subsequently posting my stuff to Brickshelf. One of these days, I'll organise
these into a proper website. Untill then, they're in Bryan's folder, at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1330
Note: don't hold your breath for a site anytime soon: the F-15 eagle you see
was built in 1990. It's taken 10 years to even post it at all (the other
models there are all done this year; the mini Black Cat isn't even finished
yet, it's a work in progress.)
The large 5571 Black Cat is Bryan's (as is the flatbed trailer to go with it,
which I think I'll try to miniaturize as well), I asked him to pose it with
my 'double-width' minifig scale one for reference purposes (Thanks to Dave
Hylands, who posted a lot of pictures at my request so that I may recreate the
functionailty of the 5571 in minifig-ish scale... mine has the opening hood,
steering, tools compartments all thanks to his love for taking detail shots
for me to base the mini one on).
For those with sharp eyes, my Snowspeeder is merely a modification of the
awesome kit mod at Ken-Tucky lego works.

And yes, those are Colin Gutierrez based mecha hands on my Optimus (his site
is at (Thanks Colin)
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Saturn/5559/
And even the building of the Optimus was inspired by Mike Wampole's LegoBots
http://www.geocities.com/~legobot/
I could resist my own take after seeing his awesome website. I'll never
complete anywhere near as many Transformers as he has!
I'm mostly posting this for the benefit of all those people I've bought/traded
parts from who might've wondered what I've been doing with those parts.
Thanks again, Bryan, and really the rest of the Vancouver Lego Club (esp. TFM
and Xandria for having me over! And Kevin, with whom I've completely lost
track of how many parts I've bought!)
Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think. Other than the fact that I'm
long-winded.
A. Mark Wilburn
p.s. I've only ever posted replies, never started a new thread so if this is
posted in the wrong place, could somebody please help me remedy the situation?
p.p.s. In the absence of a real website, my LEGO building philosophy can be
summed up here:

| (...) The jet is nice of course, but I really like this truck. Although it's a little too big for minifigs, it's a great scale to build at! (I've done a couple vehicles[1] at that approximate scale, but I haven't (yet) tried to add steering. I think (...) (24 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.build)

| (...) [snip] (...) [snip again] Hi Mark, I love that mini Black Cat truck, you've really put a lot of detail into such a small space, and it has great lines, too. Your Optimus Prime is way awesome. Sometimes I look at LEGO and all I see are (...) (24 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.build)

| Your F-15 is just the type that I always want to see in MOCs, it is too legoish, and very accurate at the same time. And your Black Cat Jr. also very well built, and it's even more impressive after reading that it is built from the pictures only. (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.build)
