I don't know about other folks, but my stuff comes apart when I'm done. I'll
take multiple pictures of it, and record cool design points I ran across in the
building of it, but when it's done, it comes apart.
If people want to invade it later, I'll either design a couple sets (as per
your suggestion below), or they can photoshop their invasion. :)

I think it's up to the balladeer who owns it.

Sounds cool! Another idea along the same lines, people could make their
castle/city/whatever in a smaller scale, and then use sets for the close up
shots. Kinda like a movie... When you have a scene of a huge castle, you build
the whole castle, but you build it really small. ;)
