Hi all;
I've been meaning to create a website for ages, but not having a camera
(digital or otherwise) made it difficult. However, my thanks to fellow
VLC'er
Bryan Wong for bringing his digital camera to the last meeting, and
subsequently posting my stuff to Brickshelf. One of these days, I'll
organise
these into a proper website. Untill then, they're in Bryan's folder, at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1330
Note: don't hold your breath for a site anytime soon: the F-15 eagle you
see
was built in 1990. It's taken 10 years to even post it at all (the other
models there are all done this year; the mini Black Cat isn't even
finished
yet, it's a work in progress.)
The large 5571 Black Cat is Bryan's (as is the flatbed trailer to go
with it,
which I think I'll try to miniaturize as well), I asked him to pose it
with
my 'double-width' minifig scale one for reference purposes (Thanks to
Dave
Hylands, who posted a lot of pictures at my request so that I may
recreate the
functionailty of the 5571 in minifig-ish scale... mine has the opening
hood,
steering, tools compartments all thanks to his love for taking detail
shots
for me to base the mini one on).
For those with sharp eyes, my Snowspeeder is merely a modification of
the
awesome kit mod at Ken-Tucky lego works.

And yes, those are Colin Gutierrez based mecha hands on my Optimus (his
site
is at (Thanks Colin)
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Saturn/5559/
And even the building of the Optimus was inspired by Mike Wampole's
LegoBots
http://www.geocities.com/~legobot/
I could resist my own take after seeing his awesome website. I'll never
complete anywhere near as many Transformers as he has!
I'm mostly posting this for the benefit of all those people I've
bought/traded
parts from who might've wondered what I've been doing with those parts.
Thanks again, Bryan, and really the rest of the Vancouver Lego Club
(esp. TFM
and Xandria for having me over! And Kevin, with whom I've completely
lost
track of how many parts I've bought!)
Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think. Other than the fact that
I'm
long-winded.
A. Mark Wilburn
p.s. I've only ever posted replies, never started a new thread so if
this is
posted in the wrong place, could somebody please help me remedy the
situation?
p.p.s. In the absence of a real website, my LEGO building philosophy can
be
summed up here:
