These are words to live by!
One of the first "MOC"s I uploaded to my Brickshelf folder was a "replica"
of an early Mark Sandlin Lego Creation :^) which turned out horribly
rainbowed! It was like Lego Building 101 for me. My piece assortment was
nightmarish and I was forced to "modify" some things in that model. But I
built it (sans engines)! I went ahead and uploaded the images and posted
the link to Lugnet then asked for a critique; I expected the obvious:
rainbowed, no engines, not quite the same... but actually didn't get any at
all really, although there was a reminder by Mark Sandlin about actually
providing the link! I had previously e-mailed Mark a few times regarding
what I had done so he already new about it. Anyway, the images are still in
my Brickshelf folder as a humble reminder of where I started from. Since
then I've copied a few other mocs but didn't take pictures of them, copying
a moc is purely a building challenge these days. It worked then, and still
works now!
