Nive idea, Kenn, I like it a lot. You said comments welcome, so don't mind my
opinion, right?
I love the level of details you put into your Casino. All those aliens, built
with bricks or parts from SW Minifigs, all thos great furniture pieces, they do
your MOC a lot of good. However, the rooms show some unfinished touches that
don't look very nice. An example of this is in your BrickShelf library, the
picture 21_slidingdoors.jpg
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/oldhamk/Space/Columbia/21_slidingdoors.jpg
The arch you used for the doorway are great, but right behind them, there's a
hole between a black plate and greay bricks. The arch itself doesn't have
bricks to complete the sides up the the ceiling. Maybe those are construction
choices. Yet, right next to the arch, you have a very nice SNOT wall with
transparent tiles and pattern tiles that are beautiful. That's just one example
of those small things that betray your MOC imho. Maybe I'm nitpicking here.
Don't get me wrong, the MOC is great, but it's those little details that make
the difference between a great MOC and a masterpiece ;-)
Hope this helps. I love your transformers BTW! They are something very hard to
do. I should know, I've tried before and did two versions of Optimus Prime.
