Bryce,
This is exactly how I feel about this model-- the organic quality is
astonishing, given the "limitations" (obviously being overcome almost
daily in this group) of the medium. I feel as though I could get lost
in the layers of detail, and yet I think it is truly only appreciated on
the whole-- You've managed to completely abandon lego as an assemblage
of individual pieces-- rather, it's become a living, breathing (?)
single entity in your hands.
Outstanding!

| Wow! Thank you Stuart. I was trying to make a super organic feeling (mecha). The whole project kind of spiralled out of control a bit. The same thing happened with the Q model. I really like that we all fight the same design problems in this group. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
