Hello!


For me the hardest part is to connect two seperately developed modules. Since I
haven't built any noteworthy space MOC yet I can only speak of Castle MOCs, so
e.g. if I have a concept for a gate and build it and I have a concept for a rear
tower and build it it's hard for me to connect the two. The whole building
process stagnates because I don't have the verve to start building the links
between the two (or more) finished parts, and often building those links is
sheer bricolage...

That's exactly how I'm building, too.

For me, it's always the beginning. Even though I did a few sketches this time to keep me focused, I still have the most difficult time just getting a shape together. Sometimes I wish I had a small bubble of zero gravity above my desk so that I could (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)
