I totally agree.  Every lego creation is important, large and small.  I look at
people's micro fig things, dioramas, cities, mechs, and I look at houses,
villages, and then I look at the megalith creations such as Bryce's, and I
think to myself how much creativity is involved in building all of them.  Every
creation I see I look at and I try to figure out how they did what they did,
and see if it's something I can incorporate into my own building style.  I
find James Stacey's newest creation to be a very elegant, and something that
quite frankly I couldn't improve upon.  I've never been able to create anything
small or medium size structure wise that really has a lot of merit, talk about
just four walls and a roof, which is one of the reasons I built three of my
dragons.  I built the first one to fulfill a dream of mine and to challenge
myself.  James, don't doubt the strength in building just 'walls and roof',
some of the best things I've seen are not large in any way, and in fact don't
require anything but bricks and pieces that are rather readibly available.  All
of what you've built is certainly worth saying *THIS* is what James Stacy has
built.

dont want to discredit something as creative and spectacular as sava's • dragons,
or anyone else's super creations.. but those things require an investment in
pieces that simply isn't available to many of us. (especially the younger
ones)

besides, i agree with you when you say that creativity on a small scale can be
as important as creativity on a large scale; of living within limits, rather
than living without.  when i was young i could make my lego really extend
itself.. what i now use for one castle could have been three castles then.

i think in a group as wonderful as lugnet it is always important to establish
that ALL creations, regardless of size or complexity, have a place here. i
think that it is this quality that makes lugnet so cool.

aw shucks
I keep seeing the amazing things people are building like Bryce McGlone's
mech and Anthony Sava's dragons, they are using LEGO in ways I could never
begin to imagine with the pile of pieces in front of me. makes you feel a
bit dumb putting photos up of another creation which is esentially four
walls and  roof ... again.
so thanks for your kind words, they help me continue to say - "hey, I've
done this" when other people can say "hey, I've done _THIS_ "
