Really great stuff, Brad -- as usual! I think many feel humbled by your
designs.
Thanks for the compliments!


The comments on your page make me wonder if it is your intention to point • up
the fact that few persons could actually construct this with Lego in the
real world. Is this the not-so-hidden agenda of your Lego CAD work?

Just wondering...
I don't actually intend to influence anyone (although it WOULD be nice if
LEGO would expand their bulk ordering!)   To me, its just more of a fun
thing to speculate on actually building any of these creations.  I much
prefer REAL LEGO building to CAD building, but even with my fairly sizable
LEGO collection, I can't hope to create buildings like this in the real
world.


I myself have some fairly ambitious projects requiring multiples of very
specific and fairly rare elements.  Some of the stuff I want is not so • much
expensive per se as it is just rare in terms of finding any significant
quantities of the elements in question.  I do the auction thing,
periodically scour the elements sites (baylit and brickbay), etc. and it
still takes me forever to acquire enough of certain elements.  Such a • drag.

I still haven't gotten up the guts to do the auction thing.  I don't even do
Brickbay!  If I were to get my rear in gear and check out these
alternatives, I could probably have access to a much wider set of parts.
