I'm gonna chime in and only add to Mr. Kingsley's comments about rebuilding.
You've popped over my site a few times, (or you've said you had). The Temple
of Technic was built half way, disassembled mostly for an architectural
change, reassembled mostly, (through most of the second floor), taken aprart
down to just the rudiments of up to the second floor, (to change the gabled
end which I messed with about 4 or 5 times to get it the way I wanted it),
then the roof, done once, and tore apart to get it just right. Total rebuilds
in that project:about 2.5 to 3. Actual restarts: 7ish, (IIRC). The blue
station I just finished, copied from the plans of 2150? Sorta. I look at it. I
even emulated portions of the floor/foundation. Changes, loads. Initial build
was fine, if fine is everytime you move it it fall apart. I reworked it 3 or 4
times to get what I wanted, especially the up office windows. (oh, check
brickshelf's recent files.. ) You will probably find that your best work is
stuff that you have to redo because you stumbled on an idea you saw, or a
piece you ran across while building, and the rework to put it in so that it
looks right to you. (Ok, I'll fess. The initial build was 2 weeks ago today,
once I got home from GATS: most of the initial structure so that I could show
WAMALUG my idea on Sun evening when I showed up for tear down, and had been
working off-and-on on it for the remaining period of time).
Good luck, and keep building.
