SuvieD Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 The nasal avenger is one of the coolest ships ever made. I also like captain Ahnee comics and the comic about 3vil blowing up a Krispy Kreme donut store is hilarious. The big ships are just big to me. I like the funny stuff better. Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I've seen some of thise MOCs before. all they do is make me jealous because the guy who makes them has bricks, time ANd talent. Where I only have a bit of each... Quote

Where I only have a bit of each... Time can be managed, and bricks can be bought, but talent is something your born with *viki* (I wish I had a little more of it)! These are some wonderful MOCs.

Later. I don't agree on that. Yes, you are born with some amount of talent, but most of your talent will come with experience. When I look at the MOCs I have currently build, I just have to say that the newer they are, the better they look. When I get my hands on my dad's digital camera, I might post some pics :) Quote

When I get my hands on my dad's digital camera, I might post some pics :) I think you might be confusing 'talent' with 'skill'. Skills are abilities developed through practice. Most anybody can improve their abilities in this manner. Talent is a special aptitude or natural ability. Simply put, talent is not something you can learn. A person with a particular talent will generally be able to further his or her skills at a faster rate than a person who lacks that talent. He or she will also be able to achieve feats above a person of no extrodinary aptitude. That is not to say that all talent is properly developed. The point is, you can improve your skill level, but the degree of improvement will be marked by your talent. Take this analogy into consideration: A Honda Civic can be tuned, and rebuilt into something faster, and more agile than the stock original, but underneath it will always be a Civic. It will never handle as well as a thuroughbread sports car. Much in the same way, many people will pursue a sport, or take up an insturment, however few will master such an undertaking. Now, if you don't take my word for it, I suggest taking a look at your Oxford Dictionary (or rough equivilant). Unfortunately, talent is something that cannot be learned. Later. Quote

Later. i agree, however, i'm not really sure what lego has got to do with talent, tho... building lego models basically comes down to: 1) using your imagination, or trying to copy/modify work of others 2) solving the problems you encounter 3) knowing what kind of bricks you have, to do what you want to do... i think, in the end, it comes down to work, work, work.

Kikuichimonji Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Okay, I agree with the skill/talent thing. But my point was that by practicing, you can get better too :) Quote
