Ditto what Kevin said. I look at my ships from five years ago, compared with
FdG (see the left side bar in .build.military), and then Takao
(http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~lfbraun/Takao.html) and there's a definite
progression, aside from size of course. It's a simple process of refinement.
But if you really want to see what people without huge collections can do, look
through Gil Shaw's postings (mostly .space); I remember when he first arrived,
and was posting good but not exceptional stuff, but over time he's just taken
off like a rocket in creativity and detail (even before considering the pod
thing). That's what happens; the things you see here impress upon you more than
you may think, and help you "think outside the box" and come up with further
innovations of your own. Some folks in fact swear by small collections or
travelling assortments for "forcing" creativity, so size of collection is far
from being the most limiting of factors.
No matter what, though, just stick around and keep clicking the bricks; we'll
all rub off on you, and you in return on us--that's the joy of LUGNET.
all best
