Well, there are certainly a lot of Space builders who are trying to make
their ships look like "actual" items--Star Wars ships, Star Trek, etc.
There are others who are building things completely out of their imagination.
In Castle, there are people who are really serious about building
historically accurate castles. For instance, this page:
http://www.end.com/~jynx/castle/
or this:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=15775
You could also look at long debates in this newsgroup on the precise size
and shape of arrow slits, or heraldry, etc, for people with a passion for
historical accuracy.
There are also people building castle stuff based on fiction (either fantasy
or realistic). E.g. I could point out my own page based on The Lord of the
Rings:
http://www.ozbricks.net/bricktales/lotr/lotrmain.html
Then there are people doing stuff completely out of their imagination. For
instance, check out this castle:
http://matherette.tripod.com/jamesmarkham.jpg
by James Markham. That's just awesome, but has no relation to historical
castles (or physics, for that matter).
So I would say that the issues are the same. You can be inspired by
"reality" or just your imagination.
Just Imagine . . .
