 | | New Poll, do you keep or scrap MOCs for parts?
|
|
Okay, so the other day I was packing up a few projects including my recent dragon for safekeeping, when suddenly a thought crossed my mind. (maybe I should just tear this thing apart for the pieces.) Of course, I shrugged off the thoguht and decided (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

The survey is worded: "do you keep it together, or scrap it for pieces?" The possible answers are Yes and No. I'm not really sure how we're supposed to answer. Someone could answer for either the keep-it-together half of the question or the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Ignoring the flawed poll question, and jumping straight to the comments... I do always scrap my MOCS for pieces, although it often takes a while. I think that's one of the major beauties of building with LEGO rather than other media... you can (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'm with David. I don't know what "yes" means. The better answers might have been - I never build MOCS so the poll doesn't apply to me - Keep them together - scrap them for parts - Keep them together for some significant period then scrap them (...)

I tend to scrap as soon as I get pictures taken. I hold onto things for a little while if I think I'll be able to make it to a LUG meeting, but I've only been to a couple of these. There are a few exceptions that I've kept together on display. These (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

Well! I see that the meticulousness of this hobby often transfers into other areas. While I agree that the question cannot be answered with a simple yes or no, I understand it and would like to offer my comments. I've had three medium-size MOC's (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

Some I keep, but mosty the survive only for a while bacause 1) I need the pieces for something else 2) would require roo much space (and money ref 1) 3) lego is for rebuilding :-) ) Only a very few models I have made do still exist. And they go (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I didn't vote in your poll because of the aforementioned flaws (neither of those choices fits what I do). Depending on the size and complexity of the MOC, I may or may not take it apart. I have some, like Marvin the Martian, that I've had (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
