Well, I finally wandered over to the Theme Gallery today, as a result
of reading another thread (<http://www.lugnet.com/general/?n=13950>),
and I have to say that I really like the November winner, submitted by
mojo_z, 14, of Canada. That is, I like the model, probably because
it's MINE. It's the Trojan Horse that won the grand prize in Joe
Lauher's "Wheeled Vehicle" contest back in the summer of 1995. See
entry 17 at <http://xray3.chem.sunysb.edu/msl/lego/entries.html>,
winners at <http://xray3.chem.sunysb.edu/msl/lego/winners.html>.
The punk who submitted my model as his has a lot of nerve. This is
clearly not a case of "he liked the model and decided to build his
own". He didn't even edit the images that he stole. Check out
<http://www.lego.com/gallery/theme/famehall.asp> and look at the
November winner, and compare it to the bottom half of
<http://www.chem.sunysb.edu/msl/lego/horse1-4.jpg>.
Grrrrrr. You can bet LEGO will be hearing about this.
Is there any way to find out the email address of another Web Club
member? Can I press plagiarism charges? Heh heh heh.
