For me it depends on the set. For sets I really like, I'll build them for a while, but I usually can't wait to cannibalize them for parts. A lot of times, I dislike the set and am just buying it (often many copies) for parts. For example, I have 12 (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.build)

It was a fairly obvious idea but one I had to make and it was a lot of fun making the set. Thank god for bulk purchases of the B&W tiles 2x2 from LD. And some timely purchases of blue slope 45 2x2s.

I have a tendency to let the models I build accumulate, until I reach the point where I can't bear to see all the pieces that are unavailable. Then I tear apart practiaclly everything, except a few of my particular favorites... of course I'll even (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

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'm envious too :) Jeb (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

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)

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.
