Hello... or is it goodbye?

[DarthTwoShedsJackson]

Hello there!

I'm not a new member. No, I've been active quite some time a few years ago and I've mostly posted MOCs in the Star Wars theme.

In recent years, I've become less and less interested in sets, but my love for studded bricks as a creative medium and engineering-challenge is as strong as before.

I'm not a LEGO-purist any longer. There are a lot of studded bricks out there that fit into my demand for quality besides LEGO: For me, it's Cobi, who have a lot of interesting slopes and curved slopes that fit into the stud-brick-plate system, and GoBricks. Which means my collection of bricks - which mostly contains LEGO, now also contains Cobi and GoBricks.

In the past few months, I got deeply into building historically correct sailing ships - big and detailed models. And in these MOCs, I mix LEGO bricks with bricks from Cobi and GoBricks. Not just as a substitude, but in the case with many bricks from Cobi - like their slopes and curved slopes which do not exist in LEGO's portfolio - as a feature.

 

And here comes the sad part: As I understand it, I cannot post these MOCs here in my longtime favorite MOC-forum any longer, because I do not segregate bricks from different manufacturers, but utilize them as a medium as I see fit.

Please tell me if I'm wrong in my assumption. If not - it's a sad goodbye.

The 'Community' area is the place for off brand talk, I believe, so you can post your moc's there, @DarthTwoShedsJackson.

That's good to know - many thanks for the info. So it's more of a "I'm back".
