I would add that this ability to digitally store images of our MOCs also
makes it less painful to dismantle them. Once a MOC has been well
documented, the builder can feel more inclined to use its pieces for a newer
design, because the first MOC still exists in picture form. This allows
AFOLs with collections of any size (even comparitively small ones) to build
any number of models without truly losing the old ones.
