I was having a temporary builder's block last night - not the kind of month-long
slump that we've been discussing here, but an inability to make what I wantedto
build (oddly enough, a minifig-scale mech) come out right. I had some parts
joined together in an interesting way but not much else. It turns out I had
something else niggling at the back of my mind (part of the Goblin Mobile War
Fortress that I'm working on) and after I built that, I was able to come back to
the other model and see some possibilities that I hadn't seen before.
Now my problem is, I have *two* ideas and only the parts to pursue one of them...
