Well, the easy way, to NOT make any mistakes, is to create a .DAT file with a
bunch of lines type 1, which include for example the Brick 1x1 -> 3005.dat
and then you change their color and their x,y,z position to see the changes.
1 color x y z 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.dat

That's a difficult question.
You should model everything that is seen, i.e. interior stuff, like in a lego
motor, shouldn't be modelled, since it will never be seen.
Small details like the lego logo on the studs, are Not modelled also.
As a general rule, check a similar part, to know which stuff should be modelled.
