| (...) Why can't you make infinite variation in Space? If anything, I would think Space would be bounded only by your imagination. Arguably Pirates and Castle have certain, albeit not great, limits based on our perspective of the historical or sword (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

| In lugnet.space, folks write of the need to deal with Builder's Block. Some thoughts come to mind of how I have dealt with this in the past: Don't deal with it (caution, this may lead to a new Dark Age) Change scale - build BIGGER stuff (caution, (...)

I hereby do not agree that there are limits, or at the least the limits are the same as Space (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

| (...) But the problem is that for something like, say, a ship, you have a definate idea of how to start, you know what a ship looks like, has in it, etc. But in space, you have to make up a new idea, and proceed along it, which can be difficult. It (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

I used to build space things before my Dark Ages so I thought that'd be a good (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

| I, too, sort by color. I find it a very effective way of creating a great-looking MOC. Will, I really like the Dropship and the Tug - these designs are so full of detail and thought - just amazing, totally original...and after only two ships! By the (...)

That's interesting - I just happened to take the pictures there (a small concrete bench at the bottom of my garden) because it's higher than the lawn/patio and catches the light at the end of (...)

Nor should you worry too much about the praise (or (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
