Just curious - I've glued plates together to get exactly
that element before, and was curious how the LDRAW community
feels about sticking to elements available to real-life modelers.

I've done the same in the past.  As I see it, the thoughts of the community
can be broken down in the following ways:

(1)  The purists hate the idea of any non-LEGO anything used with LEGO.
They feels so strongly about this that some (Todd in particular) have
physical reaction.  I actually think their OCD's are showing in this regard.

(2)  The modelers who could care less if it is LEGO or Jack's Backyard Hack.
The question for them is can I use it to make a really cool model.  (Yep, I
fall into this group).

Of course, I know there many who fall somewhere in between, but the
positions of contention are these.  Besides, this is isn't a new question.
We've discussed it before and come to nought.  And as far as I can see the
two groups will continue to lock horns when ever the question comes up.

Regards
Roy

(...) Do people model parts that don't exist in the LEGO universe? i.e. Plates with studs on both top and bottom, or bricks otherwise shaped in ways that have no real-world analogs? Just curious - I've glued plates together to get exactly that (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.cad.dev)
