I agree. My most recent creation (see earlier post 'large space/military
vehicle, web site at http://homepages.tesco.net/~lawrence.wilkes/legoc.htm)
looks the way it does as much by the constraints made by the bricks I had
available as it does to my concept ideas. Guess the same is true of car
manufacturers too. How many cars do you see that look like artists designs?
I find it really hard to cannibalise other models I have, just to make the
current one perfect.
Some other creations I have built recently that I will try to put up over the
next few days are
1. Mars explorer, a REAL model of the Mars explorer using Mindstorm, not that
useless one that Lego were going to do that pictures were floating around the
internet of
2. Metrostation Plus, a bigger station that extends on metrostation, with a
ticket office, a bridge and a branch of W H Smiths like all good UK stations
have!
