| That's awesome Dan, you definitly have the touch on your carriers. They keep sneaking up on me. The exterior detailing is absoulutely incredible. Well done once again. I love the burp usage btw.

|
| I have almost the same problem in reverse. Once I've built a set using the instructions, I have a really hard time taking it apart. It will stay assembled for weeks before I can make myself tear it apart. Also, I have an odd compulsion to position (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | Do you build every set you buy?
|
| Ever since my little-kid days I have always felt a need to build the set using the instructions at least once, even if it's a really dumb one that I just bought for the parts. But lately I've started buying more than one of some sets, and am (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.build)

| I'm getting a 404 on (URL) as long as I'm on this thread, great work. Not just on the scene composition, which is superb, but also on the creations themselves. I quite like the legs on the A66. Also, the hands on the A93 are great. Very powerful (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| I'm in the build, photograph, then put the model up or away somewhere and buy new Lego mode. It's just too much trouble usually for me to take apart and re-sort one of my models. I'm sort of lazy that way too. I hate sorting... Bryce (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
| | | | | Re: Building habits
|
