Although I don't build in public, I definitely can relate to some of this... as I too am a fairly recent AFOL, about 16 months new now...

Interesting, I didn't read it as being too critical or negative, but rather humorously insightful.AC wrote:The thing about the author of this article is that he seems to assume the worst of people. I think the hobby and the art of using Lego as a medium has come a long way in the public eye. Those that are critical often have insecurities and need to find fault with others. For those of us ,me included, need to realize that there are a lot more people out there that think good of the hobby and art than we may think. For those that laugh or mock well, I kind of feel bad for them.![]()
That's my 2 cents.
Interesting that you mention having enough pieces enables you to build anything, and then you reference a site specifically geared towards building MOC's with precisely 11 pieces.Andrew wrote:...if you have enough pieces you can build anything.Glorious ocean liners ,detailed cities,science fiction scenes.Its a great medium to work with you can do anything you want,be as creative as you want.
look on flickr at the 11 piece challenge,some great terrific stuff.
keep on building!,Andrew
