Actually, I find that the size of the creation dictates to correct amount of
forethought. The larger you build, the more you have to plan it out to
ensure success.
Most of my smaller things are just freebuilding on the spot. But for things
like the capital ships, I have spent up to a month of on and off tinkering
on paper with layouts and hull shapes and such before two bricks ever even met.
But no matter how much I plan it out, when I get down to the detail phase I
just freebuild. For the Benevolent Grace, I planned more than I ever have
for a Lego creation, and it really helped. The thing that killed me on my
earlier capships was lack of proper planning. I had the walls up and then I
had to try and build the insides, and then justify the whole thing in my
mind... it just fell apart conceptually.
well, that's my process I guess :)
1. make poorly laid out ship
2. scrap ship, learn from mistakes
3. plan plan plan
4. build not-so-badly laid out ship
5. lather rinse repeat
cheers!
