What a time to wake up from hybernation! I would have to agree with Jeff. I
have always felt that it is much more challenging to build small than big.
After all, the bigger you build, the easier it is to render detail, as the
pieces always remain the same size. Take it far enough and you can build
exclusively with 2x4 bricks. That's not to say I don't appreciate the great
effort that goes into a really large creation. I just find myself much more
impressed by something like this:

Just my opinion, take it with several grains of salt, maybe some pepper, and a
little bit of lemon.
Regards,
Colin
