Hey Didier,

This is a pretty good start towards a technique compendium, but I can think of a few things you missed. There’s element stressing (as discussed at Brickfest ‘06), and I think it would benefit from a section on articulation. After all, joints aren’t just for mecha! Also, sculpture techniques such as Bram’s LSculpt are worth a mention, and perhaps a section on angles.

I think a website would be more suited for this project. Having it as a .pdf necessitates downloading the same content every new update, and there’s the question of how often to update. Having a single author limits the range, because of course nobody has the time to follow all the various genres for technique advances. And as you already experienced, the danger of burnout is always present in one person trying to tackle such a huge amount of information.

Anyone want to pioneer a site?
