It can be a lot of fun to try and confine yourself to the parts in one set
(preferable a smaller one, otherwise there isn't much challenge). It's a
good learning experience too - you are forced to use pieces in new and
different ways. I ended up using ice planet skis for double-jointed hinges
when I built my blizzard barron alternate, the Frost Fly. I also used
individual studs on plates as hinges for the wings and the elbow joints.

Keep up the great alt'ing - it's a fun way to learn to think outside the
brick! (box, that is ;)
