One flaw with this technique can be seen in the image: (URL) the sides of bricks which are seen almost edge-on (so that the distance to the object from pixel to pixel is large even for the same surface). In particular, the front of the white brick (...) (26 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.space)
 
  1x4x5 Windows to trade
 
I need 1x4x5 windows in Gray. I can use about 40 of them. I can trade white, red, or black for them. I am also looking for 1x4x5 White Half Arches and need about 20 of them. I can work out a deal for something. Mike Poindexter (26 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) By all means continue, looks cool so far. I particurly like the picture where there is more "narrative" at work -- as where the boat is coming out from underneath the bridge.

(...) There aren't too many cases where capital ships have even come into direct contact with pirates.
