Never thought of it as such. Let me think about it......Nope, got to be a way.
It works this way for me. I grew up building models... you know that came
from Revell or Monogram...and when my P-51B needed some battle dammage...well,
made the damage. If the bogie wheels on that M4A1 needed a few real air
spaces in them I made the spaces. If that Enterprise (Startrek ) needed a
shuttle entering the shuttle bay I built it from scatch. Sometimes you can't
break old habits. To me a model is a model. You build what you want.
