That's kind of what I had in mind, but I wasn't sure if even that would be
beyond the bounds of the MOC announcement group. My recent MOCs have been 100%
clone, with arguable overlap among "common" elements, like 1x8 bricks and 2x2
tiles. If I were only using an occasional clone part for extra detail or
utility, I expect the issue would be framed somewhat differently.
Given the tide of this overall discussion, perhaps I should mention for the
record that I am definitely *not* a clone-purist! Quite the opposite, in fact;
I mix clones with clones and clones with LEGO. My recent MOC renderings have
been done exclusively with MB-based LDraw parts to demonstrate the versatility
of that particular brand, rather than as a not to exclusivity.
Thanks again for your input, Ross.
Dave!
