(...) I think this is great. I really love the way the hat came out. Faces are hard thoa, and this one looks good, but he kinda looks like a gnome. I don't know if you were going for that or not. :) Anyway, keep up the great work! -Alfred (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

Hi Mark, Thank you for your kind words about my models. These are really the first serious MOCs I've ever done. I usually build sets from the instructions. The software is pretty cool to use though, although it tends to be tricky at times. I think (...) (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)

I like the white chuch, and I really like the trees. Also, I'm always amazed at how many different ways there are to build a 2-wide car with the limited LDD Factory contest pallette. LDD is growing on me too - but I wish there was a way to view a (...) (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
