There's one I'm still looking for, that someone posted on .space a while
ago. It's the coolest thing I've seen.

Dirty little secret:  It's {easier} to build big than to build small...

Depends on the builder :P For me, that's true. I have a hard time building
small, which is why I build both big and small, because the small really
challenges me. The big can challenge me too.

Building small forces you to distill down to the very essence of what you're
trying to create.  What is the fewest amout of detail you can include and still
have people able to recognize what you're making.  As an example, look at the
mini Star Wars sets - brilliant work.

Yes, some of us love to build massive things like 8-wide trains and 4+ foot (...)
