Wow, 15 spotlight reviews! And while everyone is busy with holiday shopping

Thanks Rev., but it has been a slow news-day on Lugnet for a few weeks now, and
I think people are just happy to see a MOC, rather than more bitching and
moaning about the good old days and how Lego has somehow screwed them.
| |
Astounding, I think, sums it up. I mean, I was not truly in the Christmas
spirit until I viewed this MOC, Keith, and I thank you for that.
|
I should have known that the award winning creator of Vendetta: A Christmas
Story, would enjoy the holiday spirit of this MOC. I’m glad I could contribute
to your enjoyment of this special time of year.

The architecture and overall vision here are incredible. The Iron Reich
garden (within a wall, naturally) is inspirational, and the preponderance of
smooth surfaces and perfectly intergrated diagonal walls is just sweet.
|
Everyone digs the garden...if I had known that earlier, I would have inserted
plants in all my MOCS. I’m a shamless schill who panders to the masses in my
every decision.

Your photography is also improving greatly. A couple of these shots,
here and
here have that
classic Brick Testament sharp-focus-foreground and blurred background that
really makes you feel like you’re in the minifig’s universe, seeing things
from their prespective. They look like stills out of movie more than photos
of a MOC. Awesome.
|
I still hate photography, but I’m glad to hear that at least I’m getting better
at it. Squinting at the Brick Testament for hours must have paid off in ways
beyond my newfound appreciation for the Biblical classics.
| |
I have to agree with others (and yourself) that the “rioters” could look more
“rioty”. I know from experience that setting up minifigs on smooth surfaces
is a bitch, but I think simply raising their little minifig fists up in the
air would have a nice impact without making them exceedingly hard to balance
the little buggers. That, and an angry face or two placed prominently near
the camera would probably work. Then again, the placidity of an Iron Reich
“riot” is spooky in an of itself.
|
That is good adivce, I’ll definetly give it a shot in the next diorama. I never
thought of the bread-line as being spooky, but you are right.
| |
I loved the inclusion of the Black separatists here--this you pulled off
perfect. It’s subtle and brilliant. What is their plan? You just don’t
know.
|
You’ll never know, whitey, until it’s too late!
| |
Thanks for another ass-kicking, and merry Christmas!
|
My pleasure, and belated congrats on the new book. Keep them coming!
