Hi Joseph,
Thanks for your comment/feedback.
I wasn't into creating a variation of 1592, but when I saw all the different
themes used to create so many wonders, (I love your Iceplanet!) I was just
inspired to make an other one. So I took my 5 Mickey sets and started...
At my biggest surprise, it isn't easy to "juvenilise" construction and
"stick" to the Mickey/Fabuland type of construction. (so little details but
yet sooo charming).
Now That I'm cought into this I had so may different version in my head that
I NEED to do an other one. Actually, it is so much fun to play around this
great 1592 set. In fact I think that this one should be re-issued and not
the 398 Constellation. (that can only be a dust catcher, without
palayability, and too expensive to take apart for pieces...) I wonder why
TLC asked us to vote if they have already their idea... I would only hope
that TLC would put more emphasis into neat creation, and not into re-issuing
old stuff!
Again, I encourage all of you to dream up your own variations and have much
fun to let go any kind of imagination.
Play well, JM
