Don't get me wrong. LDraw and LEOCAD and other such tools are great. They let
you conceptualize a model and show it off if you are really bad at photography,
as well as other uses. But it is a completely different experience and talent
to actually build something than to draw it in LDraw. Plus, you are limited
by the peices you have, and the colors. :)

| (...) True, but you're also limited in real life by the pieces YOU have. There are advantages and disadvantages to both LDraw and real-building.... when it all boils down, it's just a matter of personal preferences. :-) -Shiri XFUT lugnet.cad (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad)
