Keith,
So yesterday morning i was finally able to go thru the pics at fullsize.
Granted it took a good 45 minutes on our slow computer that uses dialup but
it was worth it. ;-) Anyway, I hadn’t replied before now cause I didn’t think
it appropriate having seen only thumbnails, and i didn’t want to add another
“me too!” response (although this sort of falls under that, besides that it’s
a repost from CSF; thought i’d be fair). Anywho, I wanted to comment that I
think this Iron Reich creation is just awesome in its magnitude and attention
to detail. Everything from the hypnotizzical tileage to the ventilation
system (or whatever that rogue cop was going into; if i had paid attention i
would have recalled that my answer had been given: “Yes, the cop in question
is probably getting set to examine the corpse of a stripper, with a black
light.” Fun stuff) to the little worker bot with the monkeywrench (that guy
found a soft spot in my heart) is just excellent. Your amount of non-bley
goodies is just sickening and your architectural style is one to be envied.
As Jon Furman said:

visit.

Andrew, thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to post them. I don’t
think I’m quite there yet with the futuristic architecture...the reich was
always supposed to be much more near-future than PCS and the rest of the themes.
Sometimes my mocs look too contemporary and “townish” as one reviewer commented,
and sometimes too futuristic. It has been difficult to strike a balance.
However, I appreciate the fact that they seem to entertain and that’s all that
matters.
I used to be of the same opinion concerning the “me too” responses, but I’ve
since changed my mind. I think it is better to say “me too” than nothing at
all. Sometimes the only occaision I have to communicate with people in .SPACE
and Lugnet in general is through reviews, so if I know the person and the MOC is
good I’ll grab a seat on the bandwagon. Also, I enjoy recieving strange
reviews, and doing likewise increases my likelyhood of getting them. I do,
however,always encourage people to leave odd comments or non sequiturs just to
break the monotony of boilerplate responses like “keep on building”.
I can’t take credit for that robot, it is 90% based on a design by Taro Kuma:

Now I hope that the following:
| |
This could be it for the Reich for a while, its as stale as the bread your >
mom buys on sale at the grocery store. Walls, canals, cops, yeah...even I
think its lame.
|
was just joke, cause i mean, c’mon, i buy the fresh carbs and the remaining
stuff the end of the day ain’t stale. You sure your mom was “buying” that
bread and not supplying it with a bun from her own personal oven. ;-) (first
attempt at smack as I’ve come to know it)
|
Wow...umm...the smack needs some work. Do you have a little brother you can
practice on? If not, rip on Soren or Dan Ruben’s next moc, they have the kind
thick skin that can absorb the hits, and a keen sense of smack to give you
pointers.
The quote wasn’t really a joke. There has been a good deal of talk (and smack)
recently about repeating oneself design-wise, and I think I’ve been a little
guilty of that. I don’t think the moc was lame, I just think I’ve done all I
care to in the reich theme for a while. It’s not dead, just hybernating. Paul
Brassington has picked up the torch and out-reiched me anyway, so I’ll leave him
in charge of hippy opression for a while.
| |
Alright, I look forward to your next IR manifestation. But you said here:
| |
[...] I’m itching to dismantle the thing and start on something new.
|
Nooooo. It would be too sweet to have Brad Hamilton’s Bricktopia in one part
of a house and then “travel” (walk) to another “citystate” (room) and see all
that is and was the Iron Reich.
Only in dreams...
In the meantime, kick some hippy ass (no offence to the lawyer who swindled
you :P ).
|
I agree, and I wish more people would take a shot at a large scale space related
dio, or anything larger than a vignette for that matter. I have no idea what a
PCS or EB city would look like, but I’d like to find out what the respective
builders would come up with. I hear Felix has something in the works, and I
look forward to seeing it.

PS - I seriously think that if you & Paul Brassington teamed up, you could
follow the Reverend’s path of ABS publication. Seriously. ... Having reread
the posts here (and ones I missed previously), I see that the Reverend
believes that you are learnig how to capture that “film still” moment. Give
it some thought, Keith, give it some thought. And if you proceed, may i offer
to design the book cover. :-D
|
Paul has a trifecta of social handicaps that would prevent such an unholy union:
genital warts, halitosis and a mild case of terets syndrome. I might take a
shot at a R.BPS style storyline, I’ve been kicking around some ideas for it.
Thanks again,
-Keith
