| | | Pardon the subject line....subjected to the the Amercian Music Awards the other night :) After catching up on some recently posted MOC's and marvelling at the fantastic shapes, scales, sizes, colours and details of our little corner of the Lego (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

The concept of collecting a few moon rocks compared to galaxy conquest does not even compare. (...) Not (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Once a MOC has been well documented, the builder can feel more inclined to use its pieces for a newer design, because the first (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Take me, for example: A few months ago I built a model I lamely named 'Rust Wing Fighter' The overall shape and color scheme was very crappy, but the wings of the craft were super cool. So I took pics and tore apart the model (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Before I downloaded a renderer or used a digicam, I constantly found it a burden to take apart my models, so I had to document them the *old fashioned way*, using pencil and paper... nice thing about that is that I don't need (...)

I would like to opine that this revolution has been seen in other themes, the state of the art has advanced in many of them. But I'm thinking that space is where it's most (...)

I hadn't even thought of the effect of digital photography, website software and CAD programs that help out those of us with smaller collections, allowing a cannon of work to be created and (...)
