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. I don't think the engineering aspect of mecha
building is really understood or appreciated outside of lugnet.build.mecha.
And I love this sentence :"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.
Thank you for the praise. It makes me feel good for two reasons: 1)I was
really afraid that people wouldn't "get it". It's nice to see I was wrong.
2) I feel that I've connected with other Lego artists through my work.

| Bryce, (...) It's funny to see you say it spiralled out of control (current tragic events notwithstanding)-- it appears to be so very much the opposite. The 'master plan' seems so obvious after completion, but I'm amazed (awestruck, baffled...)at (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
