Hi all,
I'm new to lego world, I never had them as a child but have gotten heavily
into them lately. I really enjoy building my sets but now I'm looking to
build my own things. Upon doing so I found out that I have a deficiency. I
seem to have a lot of problems thinking in 3D. So I end up making a facade
instead of a building, or unstable creations. Does anybody have any hints or
tips for this?
I suppose this sounds strange, but all my life I've been more into 2D things,
drawing, photography, etc.
Thanks for the help,
Anne

| Hi Anne, I have a few suggestions for you. 1. Start small. Leave the 2 foot long masterpiece till later and build smaller simpler things for now. They can be small versions of the whatever-it-is you want to build 2 feet long <g>. 2. Know what you're (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

| Wow. Thanks for all the great advice everyone! I'm already starting on some of your advice and trying to build the alternative models, or improving on current models. I think my biggest problem was that I don't like tearing things down once they're (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)
