They certainly did!
On a related note, anyone have thoughts on what's the best color to use for
those of us
who plan on masking out the background and adding in something else (like a
photo, or
some such?) Dark colors don't contrast enough with the bricks, but I worry
about bright
colors having an effect on the light used to photograph the model. (If, for
example, I
used safety orange, which is not the color of any LEGO brick, I'd worry that
the entire
picture would wind up with an orange cast from reflected light.) Thoughts?
