My point when we discussed it was that first and foremost, we do this for
fun. We do it because we love building with LEGO. For that reason, our
priority should be to give space to our members to display their own
handiwork. If we've got stuff from non-members (and as far as I'm concerned
stock sets), then we fill in with that afterwards. First and foremost, our
display is just that--OUR display, a representation of what the members of
MichLUG do. I'm in it to show off my stuff a little bit, to have fun
building with LEGO, and to bring some fun into other people's lives. Then
we take that output from our members and work it together to make it
cohesive, sure. So my priority is involving the members first, then doing
the best display we can.
If we had a 10-year-old member, for instance, who put his heart into a
building for the display, I'd want it in the display--even if it looked like
a ten-year-old's building and didn't fit in that well.
In that same vein, as another example, while Kevin Wilson's buildings are
extraordinary (and I'd love to be able to buy them all), if a member were to
build a school that wasn't as good, I'd still want it in before Kevin's
because it's the work of a member.
