First, let me say that Mark doesn't need defending by anyone (and certainly
not one as unqualified to do so as myself).
But he did, indeed, let Wesley know what he thought. ;) And it wasn't
exactly rude though, as you said, it could possibly be taken as such.
Having interacted with Mark on many occasions in the past in this group, he
almost always has something to say that is positive, even when the subject
needs help (read: all my creations <G>).
Personally, I think the idea is pretty cool, though it IS a shame they can't
be built as shown using physical pieces. I'm not that much of a WotW fan
(it's *ok*...) but I admire anyone that has taken the time to learn to
render LEGO creations. I haven't the patience, myself.
I share some of what I think Mark's feeling behind his question might be:
I'd love to see these redone in a manner that would allow for creation from
Physical LEGO. While these renders are impressive as they are -- this would
lean on my 'wow' button and be truly impressive.
Regardless, keep up the good work, Wesley.
