I insist that most of my MOCs tend to have a “life” to themselves. I usually start fiddling with certain pieces and I suddenly realize there’s something resembling a design. So I think technique usually comes first for me…or more properly, exploration of pieces and their combinations.

To me, the eye looks like that of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyessy.

It’s not just a response to one post. The post is part of a series, after all. As for the length: I think I practiced restraint actually.

Cheers,

And why is TBB getting spammed? We all know that anything Linus writes is going to get at least one intelligent and lengthy post.

Interesting. I’ve been following these posts for a few weeks now and have thought about a few things. I’m not sure how much of this is applicable to the way I go about building.

I don’t fiddle around with pieces not knowing what to make with them in advance. I may look at a particular new piece and recognise it as something that I can use for one of the many projects that I always have in mind.

I don’t know what message I try to convey with my MOCs. I don’t think I am normally addressing anybody in particular with any of them, except when I build something with a public display in mind or for a competition. I’m mainly enjoying myself. I’ve been building with LEGO since the time I first could put two bricks together and I don’t go about building any differently now that I happen to share pictures of my models with the rest of the world, although I of course do enjoy it when people like my models and incorporate people’s suggestions.

I’m not sure whether it was Peter Gabriel who said that he makes the music that he likes and if other people happen to like it too, that’s a bonus.

Cheers,
Ralph
