I've never had any problems.

I think if we follow this route we should split the competiton into two
catagories. Keep the current rules and add a parallel class for models
containing modified parts. I realise this would create more complexity but I
think it would be worth it.
The reason I think we should do this is because if we lump all the model's
together, the model's with modified parts would have an unfair advantage
over the others. The other advantage of two competitions, would be that it
would encourage development of both types of building simultaneously.
I'm also a big supporter of the level playing feild concept, so I think two
level playing fields are better than non.
