OMG, now I have to reply (uggg sorry!) Honest, Dave, I really don't want you to
feel that way. I promise if you look close, you'll see all kinds of cool little
things packed in small places and what not.
Often times, I just hope someone will notice a small element or part used in an
odd way. Or hidden with just a part of it poking out in to the open.
I rely on great builders like you Dave to notice things that may seem like
minitia, but as AFoL, I know you'll get.
Silly things like Mail boxes in wierd places, mini-fig caps, greebles, chairs,
insectoid legs and other goofy stuff only nuts like us can pick out.
Dig Dave Dig!
I've checked out your MOCs closely to see how you made them.
Without KYA, your an intriguing builder.
Aren't you glad!
Adrian is on to it! Can you hear me on the Left Coast Syide~!!!
e
P.S. IMHO saying not adding a MOC reply because it adds "white noise" in saying,
"oh that's cool" like everybody else is a cop-out for lurkers.
Each person has a voice, let your voice be heard, let your connection to others
be felt. It might just make someone's day a bit happier.
