Chris,

Thanks for pulling this old message.  To clarify my ground rules...

1. No painting.  A lot of the value in a Lego element is compromised if it
can't be reused as originally intended.  Custom stickers and tape, however,
are fair game as they can markedly enhance the appearance yet are easily
removed to reuse the original element later.

I'm definitely starting to weaken on this one... good stickers add a lot.
I'n not sure I'd go as far as to change the colors of elements, but for
signage and detail they can't be beat.


2. No gluing.  Same logic (well, OK I did it once in Winterthur but that was
a long time ago)

3. Some minor cutting.  Sometimes for the greater good a few eggs have to be
broken.  But only if the resulting omlett is worth it, and they are average
eggs.  I.E., rarely and and only on common elements.

I'm still holding out on these two though. It's getting tougher. There are
some Jr. pieces I want to cut up into their constituent parts.
