I want whatever camera it is that you are using to take those pictures... LOL
No, seriously, that is the most realistic plastic I have ever seen.
I never did get my hands on any of the old school legos. I started with the little red indy cart off the back of a box of Cheerios. That and the little yellow jeep.
I was in the Lego Shop in Blue Water on Saturday. Getting a "Surprise" for the kids.
I have am very impressed with the Star Wars lego collection, not as cool as the orignal space collection, but good in its own way. I would love to build the Mell, but at Aï¿¡375 it not goinig to happen.
But the three way thrusters, I dont think it should have a bevel between the square brick and the rounds bits.
Hmmm...I'm sure that you're right, but I like the bevel (artist license? ) so I propose a compromise - I'll make the bevel half as wide.
@Pearse - thanks for the rationalization, I'll take it.
@Freak - thank you! Yeah, I like the Star Wars stuff too! I've been drooling over the large scale Millennium Falcon, but I don't think that I can justify the $$$.
@biotech - thank you, much appreciated, it has certainly been a lot of fun!
The artifacts from the jpeg compression actually make it look that bit more real, like pics from digital cameras sometimes come out.
Yeah, detail is in the imperfection . CG appears to have only got to the point where they take this into account only recently. You know, to show off you could do a brick that's been chewed by your little brother, everyone knows that one.

I think I got most of the space line in the end.

It looks pretty much straight on in the pics I've seen, I've probably got a few too, I have masses of old and new lego scattered around the place.
