I was never really sure where to place minifig building amongst everything.
Then I overheard Lar talking to the crowd about the train display at HoB.
They kept asking him, So is this some town nearby? And he repeatedly told
them something to the effect of No, its any-town USA. Its an idea of a
town.
Something about that statement stuck with me. To merely recreate something
in LEGO is one thing. But to create an interpretation of a town means the
ideas are filtered through the creators mind. Youre not just building a
town-- its some version of what a town seems like in your head.
Thats probably a no-brainer for everyone at lugnet. But it is a means of
self expression and thus... well, you see where Im going.

No, I see where youre going. The minute its any-town instead of town-xyz,
youve gone from being someone who objectively (so to speak) observes things
around them and then builds stuff accordingly, to someone who interprets what
he sees according to his own world view. That makes the key difference here.
CMIIW.
Interesting discussion.
