I you ever bother to look at my models, you will notice that most of them are
quite small.
Here is what I was trying to say:
Yes, very large, well designed and thought out models (like Bram's) deserve
recognition!
Yes, very small, detailed and neat models (like Jeremy Sproat's) deserve
praise!
No, very small, simplistic and quickly assembled models (such as the one in
this post http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=3365) don't really catch anybodies
attention.
No, very large, multi-coloured, poorly constructed and designed models (such as
the one in this post http://news.lugnet.com/build/mecha/?n=3007) don't really
impress a lot of skilled builders.
I'm sorry that I had to name names, but it was the only way to get my point
across.
Larry, I'm not one of those people who thinks good LEGO models have to be
large, nor am I one of those people who thinks good LEGO models have to be
small. I am the type of person who loves well thought out and designed models.
So what if a small model is crammed to the brink with all sorts of mini-fig
tools meant to be passed off as detail, I still not be impressed with it. Nor
will I be impressed with a model that is consists of two pairs of wings slapped
onto a simple fuselage. Nor will I be impressed with a 10 foot tall mecha which
can barely stand up (as if anybody could even build this).
All I care about is whether a model somehow exceeds my expectations or is in
some ways innovative or creative. Bram's model is definitely this kind of
creation.
These are just my opinions of course... Feel free to flame me 50 times over.
;-)
Mladen Pejic, over and out!
