Jim,
Blindfold yourself and have someone explain building instructions for a
set you've never done. Don't worry about color (at this point). Video
tape the ordeal.
Each LEGO piece shape is unique, and can therefore be identified. Use
Ldraw parts list names for uniformity. The inventory of many sets can
be searched on www.peeron.com/inv to make part listing easier.
- Rob

| Hi Rob, (...) Exactly what the hell do you think we're doing? Not one word of my post made it to a single neuron in your head. If it was easy somebody like you would have already done it. You disappoint me. <PLONK> -- -- Open Forge, LLC 24/365 (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics)
