Now that we are seing more "custom" parts being made (for example the Starwars weapons, the Castle accessories and the Train wheels), it raises an important question... are these "Lego"? For example, if I use them, am I no-longer a purist? Does (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains, lugnet.castle, lugnet.cad)

(...) Hello Jonathan, If I may be so bold as to attempt to answer some of your questions... (...) Technically, the custom parts are not Lego so far as they are not made by The Lego Group A purist uses 100% Lego in their MOC's...with no exceptions (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Although I am not a 100% lego purist, I see nothing wrong in using a 'background' in Povray. Real builders build their models on non-lego tables, non-lego floors in non-lego houses and probably photograph them in non-lego gardens. The same if (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
