My commendments as well...it's always grafitying
to see people stand up for what they believe. Kudos.

It's always great to see other projects besides the mainstream
star wars and trekkie continguincy. Not at all that I dislike
it, however, I've seen few, if any Final Fantasy of good old
fashioned Metal Gear projects immortalized in lego, which is
a shame. Anyway, I definitely like your highwind, and look
forward to any other interesting renditions in the future.
(has anyone done any Xenogears mechs?)
However, yes, my agreements with the MOC factor. I've
shown a few of my MOCs over the past (only about three,
I think...) with somewhat discouraging results. Not that
it got me down or anything (my render crashed, had a
little hiatus over the summer, worked on my novella,
school, etc.)
You can basically sum it down to one little
factor called 'Hierarchy'. It's deftly inevitable for
any aspect of society, since any group or community
will eventually exhibit these qualities. The best thing
to do, is to take pride in your creations, work on new
ideas, and show them off as often as possible. Who
knows, after several postings, people will eventually
recognize you for your creations, and you'll get your
feedback. If feedback isn't enough, you can always
check your folder hits on brickshelf, and if the
numbers are high, that probably means you're getting
plenty of views, which is obviously a good thing.
In short, keep at it and never give up hope!

However, as productive members of the community, we can
take this problem into hand and try to post as much
feedback as possible. I think taking a minute or two
to take a look and analyze someone's model, highlight
interests and concerns, constitutes the beauty of
lugnet.

Hmm...see the aforementioned remark.

You know, I'm starting to think I don't leave enough
feedback. In fact, right now, I'm going to pledge to
amend my ways and make a wholehearted attempt to take
a few minutes out of my schedule to review and highlight
other community member's models. I ask anyone else on
lugnet to do the same. It only takes a few minutes or
so, and the overall effect will definitely last much
longer. (Imaging someone's delight when they read a
feedback comment pointing out the genius of a new
wing design or building technique.)

Looks pretty tight, actually...Technic figure scaled
creations are all too rare these days...unless you're
checking technic, of course. The submersible is pretty
cool, as well. 6 x 6 dome parts always add a nice
highlight to any model.
Here's some of my random items.

They're okay, however, a rather ludicrous aspect
is that my sale page got more views than any of
my other pages in the gallery!

Fellow lego enthusiast
P.S Aaron, keep up the MOCs!
