Thanks, Gil!
I always try to maintain sightlines and angles as close as the limits of the
brick allow, so thanks for noticing! As for the storied past of my Lego
ships, just wait till you hear what happened to the Falcon back before I won
it from Lando in that sabaac match! :)
If Lego wants to use the ideas, they could have a while ago...I sent them
lots of pics of my stuff back when I had just built the rear section of the
Falcon, '96 or something. I thought it would be something to see my stuff in
their magazine (this was before I had a computer or had any idea about cool
sites like lugnet, fbtb, etc..). They basically sent me a form letter saying
"thank you but we can't show all the creations sent to us, so don't get your
hopes up, etc."
I felt a bit brutalized. I knew they tended to show mostly young kids'
creations, but I've see some adult created model-quality stuff in there as
well (besides, I was 14 when I built the original ships in some of the
pics). Then I thought maybe they couldn't show them because of liscensing
issues with Lucas. But just months later, they featured someone else's At-St.
Anyhow, they have all those pics I sent, which become their property and may
be used for whatever they choose, etc. etc. The ships looks much better now
than those old pics, and it may be a childish grudge, but I won't be
submitting any more pics to Lego any time soon.
