Definitely, it's also easier to keep focus when you're only thinking of one
theme, not to mention if all your resources (time, money, creative fluids) are
directed one way, instead of several, the output will certainly be
bigger/better (I say, quality over quantity - I'd rather build a better MOC
than a bigger one).

Hehe, yeah, you earned yourself quite a reputation, Frank... :-)

Wow, thanks <blush>, the background was/is something I'm constantly working
on, unlike the MOCs that usually (at least mine) once they're done, they're
done and I let them be (unless I get better pieces to replace certain ones).
The story and the background were and are still great fun creating and
developing, I suggest everyone to try their hand at something like this. It's
great help when you need to get the creative juices flowing!

Yes, that too. Also the fact that I tried to use a raised baseplate and that
restrained my design; and I didn't like the way it went. All the factors were
against it... I was being too ambitious, too early.

I haven't tried that yet, although I was tempted with my 6066, but I needed
the bricks so I took it apart without trying.
I liked your RSB, BTW!
