| Hmm, my building habits are.... Right now I'm primarily in sorting mode. Unfortunately unless something happens to really make me stop buying it may be a while before I get caught up (though I am slowly catching up). I have done some building (...)

| I have a tendency to let the models I build accumulate, until I reach the point where I can't bear to see all the pieces that are unavailable. Then I tear apart practiaclly everything, except a few of my particular favorites... of course I'll even (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| That's awesome Dan, you definitly have the touch on your carriers. They keep sneaking up on me. The exterior detailing is absoulutely incredible. Well done once again. I love the burp usage btw.

| I'm in the build, photograph, then put the model up or away somewhere and buy new Lego mode. It's just too much trouble usually for me to take apart and re-sort one of my models.

| (...) Good question. I'm of the build, photograph, and disassemble school of thought - most MOCs stay together for a few weeks and then get recylced back into the collection.
