I guess it sorta depends on what you're copying, I find when I make
something that's modeled after something else it's easier because I
don't really have to get creative, just work out angles, sizing, etc,
as you mentioned. When I make stuff on my own I tend to go a bit
overboard on making something really unique and I often wind up
working for 2 weeks just to figure out how I can angle wings a certain
way without using glue.

Dammit how dare you tease me like that! : )
I look forward to seeing them, probably at some point in the next week
or so I'll put up some of my older stuff on Brickshelf and maybe some
new stuff too if I can get around to finishing the instructions in
LDRAW and then make a few renders. Hmmm...sometimes I wonder if one
could make a business out of taking people's models and making
instructions for them. Another idea could be to make a community Lego
idea book and then sell it real cheap (like just to cover the cost of
the photo glossy paper and ink).

If it's a copy of a prototype you rate it on how good is it as a model and then how accurately the model portrays the prototype. (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
