Well, for me, it's having to learn this HTML jargon, but the major headache
is having to find some way of getting parts for creations, then there's the
shooting, developing, scanning, and whatever else it is you have to do with
images before you can actually publish them. That plus a lot of whatever
else people have said ... :o)
I would love to go mad building LEGO creations, if only I had the budget for
it ... *Opens wallet, extracts notes, pays bills* Currently limited to the
occasional LEGO kit of ~$50 or less, plus whatever I can afford to get in
trades. I am hoping for a splurge soon though. :o)
Cheers ...
