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.

I don't cannabalize models for the parts I need - once it starts to come
apart, it all comes apart. Actually, this is one of my favorite parts of • the
process - in a way, it's very meditative disassembling and sorting all of
the parts from a big MOC.

I don't have zillions of bricks or much display space - but even if I did,
I'd probably do things the same. Bricks are for building, not for sitting • on
the shelf collecting dust!

Guess we're a minority Paul.... I took me about four months to build my
crane, and as soon as it was finished and I showed all the functions twice I
lost the interest. It survived a few weeks, until the first opportunity to
do photographs outside. Took it apart the same night....
I couldn't be bothered to put a model in CAD. It would probably take me
longer than the actual model (That's a 2500+ pieces technic for the
crane....). Pictures should be enough. The best fun is working out how to do
solve things anyway....
Maybe in a few jobs from now, when I have unlimited spending money, I'll
change my mind.....
