I quite agree. Chopping and cutting is well....almost cheating. Besides the
fact that I have to wonder *who* would have enough of a particular part to
go cutting stuff up like there's no tomorrow, it seems merely a copout. The
real challenge is achieving the look just by using Lego pieces, in their
unadulterated form. That is what is truly impressive: an artist who can
achieve the look despite the limitations of the pieces.
But, then again, I could really care less what you do to your Legos. They're
yours, and I'm not a fanatical purist who's offended if people want to
modify them or chop them up or something.
