I agree with you Steve.  I like most of the mechs I've seen, but I like them
much better if the pictures are real and not just computer generated
renderings.  I realize that creating a cad version of a lego model often takes
as much or more effort than physically building the model, but real models
that are very cool make my jaw drop.

Personally, I don't have the patience for LDraw or any of the spinoffs.  I
think the programs are fantastic, and I know how to use them, but I'd much
rather be holding the actual bricks in my hands than attempting to arrange it
on the computer.  IMO Lego is a physical toy and should stay that way.
