Hello!
And therefore: Are custom made parts subject of lugnet.general or any respective
theme-newsgroup? Though I do not at all deny the creativity that's put into
custom made pieces I still wonder.
I could take a knife and a piece of wood and carve my own parts that fit to the
LEGO system. Would that be LEGO? Even LEGO-related? Would a wooden ship that I
build and man with Minifigures™ still belong into lugnet.pirate? Would a castle
in LEGO minifig scale but built from real stones still be "LEGO Castle"?
For me the goal is to find building solutions by strictly using pure LEGO parts.
If I took anything else I could as well do modelling with wood or metal or
plastic kits. But maybe that's just me. Yes, I know even the model builders in
the Legolands are using non-LEGO parts... And I myself did that in my sinful
past :-)
However, recently I discover that custom made pieces are more and more flooding
the LEGO community. It's fine with me if people like those parts and use them
with their LEGO. After all it's just a hobby and should be fun, and everybody is
free to do whatever occurs to them. Should there be a newsgroup
lugnet.off-topic.customs, though?
Bye
Jojo

They would be construction parts compatible with the LEGO building system, but since they weren't actually made by LEGO, (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts.custom)
