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 much creativity is involved in building all of them. Every
creation I see I look at and I try to figure out how they did what they did,
and see if it's something I can incorporate into my own building style. I
find James Stacey's newest creation to be a very elegant, and something that
quite frankly I couldn't improve upon. I've never been able to create anything
small or medium size structure wise that really has a lot of merit, talk about
just four walls and a roof, which is one of the reasons I built three of my
dragons. I built the first one to fulfill a dream of mine and to challenge
myself. James, don't doubt the strength in building just 'walls and roof',
some of the best things I've seen are not large in any way, and in fact don't
require anything but bricks and pieces that are rather readibly available. All
of what you've built is certainly worth saying *THIS* is what James Stacy has
built.
