John brings up a good point here - revise, revise, revise. Rarely do I sit
down and build something that I am happy with on the first try. Usually, I
build something that is only a bit like what I want it to be. But then you
start fiddling with something and by reworking the model, you eventually get
to where you want to be. This may be why I've always been hooked on Lego.
The reative process never stops. Even when I'm done and satisfied, there is
a good chance that I'll pull some of it apart and rework it.
