One of the difficulties of what you are aking for it that many builders
build with the real brick and by the time the model is done it its very hard
to go back and document via LDraw or take pictures of what the model looks
like in the inside. It then becomes a tediuos process of having to take the
model appart to photo a specific building method or having to use LDraw to
document the model. Many people find attempting to LDraw their model after
creating it time consuming or fustrating.
Approaching from the LDraw side only, like I do it a bit easier. I enjoy
building virtual models MORE than playing with the actual brick. So for me
it's a bit easier to show how the inside of my model looks but at the same
time I have to spend tiwce as long trying to build a new model with virtual
bricks becuase it's so much harder to visiallize the model and much harder
to build something that has never been build before. The virtual tools are
still too primaritize.
So unless the modeler has a 2nd person photographing the process as s/he
builds or the modeler stopping to document most of the 'how was it build'
gets losts. The best way to obtain these skills is for individuals to
borrow ideas from other models and incorporate them into ones one.
