Very true. Take me, for example: A few months ago I built a model I lamely
named 'Rust Wing Fighter' The overall shape and color scheme was very
crappy, but the wings of the craft were super cool. So I took pics and tore
apart the model immediately. The pics were ignored for awhile, tucked away
in my HD. But tonight, while working another super cool ship, I decided the
wings from my Rust Wing Fighter would look great on the new ship. I
uploaded the old pics and I was able to rebuild the wings. The ship is not
complete yet, but it should be done in a few days.
