Not really. The creative effort that goes into the model is over once you
finish building it IRL. After that, you're merely copying your already-built
model. I'd rather spend that time building something else IRL.
Still, it's your time, do what you want with it.

Of course I'd rather see once that's nicely colored.
I think you're under the impression that I'm trying to put down LCAD,
which I'm not. I think it's a great way to share your models, and build
things you couldn't ordinarily build. I'd still rather see photos of your
MOCs, however. It makes the experience more "real" IMHO.

It doesn't work very well.

Or someone who is using a digital camera that is old enough that the
focus depth can't be less than 3 feet? I had that problem with my last
batch of pictures. I had the misfortune of using a borrowed 2-year-old
Sony Mavica that just wouldn't focus up close. Please don't assume that
it's because of inexperience. I'm getting a new camera this week, so no
more blurry pics.
At any rate, I've done nothing more here than list my own, personal
reasons for not using LCAD. I'm not saying you're wrong for enjoying it,
I'm just telling you why -I- don't use it.
