I both agree and disagree with you Mladen. I will admit that when I'm in a
mood for looking at lego models, I won't even take a second glance at
something multi-coloured or poorly constructed.
But the thing is, everyone is at different levels with their skill. I
thought it was wrong of you to mention the Neo Oz guy because, although I
myself take no fancy to his models, I give him a 10 for effort. The only way
to get better is to build, right?
My point: we should probably try giving feedback to those whose models
aren't the greastest and give their threads replies.
Why do you think that any kid who can click two blocks together can win the
Lego building comp.s when you have some of the best making models as well.
See you around
