Hmmm, strange, the link is broken. Had to copy and paste it to work. :-(
Let me just start of by saying that I’m blown away.
Phew... Okay. :-D
Bryce, your website is wonderful. It has been years since I have actually
explored a LEGO MOC website, and actually taken the time to go through each and
every page. So give yourself a huge pat on the back, your site is a success.
What blows me away however, is that I have seen so much of your work before on
BS, and yet I am still going over it again. Your writing is a part of the reason
for this. It is just wonderful to read not only your own LEGO building
“evolution”, for lack of a better term, but also the one that has happened
within LEGO mecha building.
Every year or so I go through Karim’s, Vaughan’s, Jeremy’s, Dave Thomas’,
Colin’s, etc. MOCs (what’s left of them on the net anyway), and just marvel at
the progress LEGO mecha fans have made within the genre. Your account of that
change, although particular to your own building technique, is one that I can
fully comprehend and appreciate.
I think the more cognizant we are of our own history, as a building community,
the higher we can elevate this hobby in terms of significance and status. In art
history, and history in general, such reflection and definition of a particular
period often cements it in time and affects future developments.
Furthermore, I don’t think TLG would have made all the more mecha-friendly parts
it did, if it had not been for our sharing of ideas through posts, meetings,
discussions, and so on. 6 years ago, I certainly would not have predicted that
TLG would eventually make not just a mecha line, but an
anime one as well.
Anyways, back on topic. :-p
I was also surprised by how truly prolific a builder Cajun was (is?). I can’t
believe I missed such stellar work as the
Efretijin.
By now you’ve probably gotten the idea that I really like your site, so I guess
I’ll just stop writing. I’m tired also, and must sleep.
I really can’t wait to see what you build next, and also what you write about
it. :-)

| plasmicbricks.com OR (URL) Links are now fixed. (...) Thanks Mladen. Although I'd be flattered if anyone said the same thing it means so much more coming from you, one of the "OG" mecha guys. (...) Thanks again. I was kinda debating whether to write (...) (19 years ago, 24-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
