This made me think.  You build stuff and share it with an audience.  Some of us
get up close and take pictures and really try to figure out how you did some
particular assembly.  It's often all about the sharing of your work, right?

How better to share it than to share the disassembly?

If I really wanted to study your work, then being able to take it apart would
be the ideal realization of that study.    In exchange, I might just be willing
to sort your stuff as we worked to disassemble.

It seems like an interesting paradigm for MOC sharing.

   Well, it's a bit late.  :D  The ship's now about 65% disassembled;
   everything above the AD in all but the frontmost section.  All the
   turrets and bridgework are sorted back into their bins.  It's amazing,
   because I only started about 8 hours ago.

   I have, however, been taking photos (usually the distant "in progress"
   one, so you can see it slowly vanishing), but I did snag a few close-
   ups of interior comparmentation.  There's really no way to have a
   "sorting meeting" for my ship, because even two people trying to make
   bin trips in this apartment would be incredibly difficult and highly
   counterproductive in the final analysis.

   I expect I'll have the "sadness" series of ship photos, and the "joy"
   series of full parts-bin photos.  I may in the end need to move to a bin
   larger than 15 gal for the grey/dkgrey/tan >4x4 plates!  Yay!

   So I'm hard at work on taking this bad boy apart.  Mr. Sophie, I do
   expect you to get to work on your end of the bargain!  ;)

   best
