actually, i think other people's 'super' creations provide even more
justification for other people doing small scale stuff (myself included, i
think my largest city will be almost 3' x 2'.. my largest castle 10"x10"). i
dont want to discredit something as creative and spectacular as sava's dragons,
or anyone else's super creations.. but those things require an investment in
pieces that simply isn't available to many of us. (especially the younger ones)
besides, i agree with you when you say that creativity on a small scale can be
as important as creativity on a large scale; of living within limits, rather
than living without. when i was young i could make my lego really extend
itself.. what i now use for one castle could have been three castles then.
i think in a group as wonderful as lugnet it is always important to establish
that ALL creations, regardless of size or complexity, have a place here. i
think that it is this quality that makes lugnet so cool.
peace,

| I totally agree. Every lego creation is important, large and small. I look at people's micro fig things, dioramas, cities, mechs, and I look at houses, villages, and then I look at the megalith creations such as Bryce's, and I think to myself how (...)
