It's not an issue of incompetence... I know how to use LDRAW, and I often use
LEOCAD to design things that I don't have the pieces for... but I still

use computer modeling as my medium, I would learn 3D graphics modeling.

TLG "cheat" when they make a model with new colours? It's not like there is a
