What are your building principles?

I agree with all of those and I’d say I try to adhere to them myself

Make it so that I like it. That’s about it.

  • The build should be robust and look cool.
  • It should be something original and interesting.
  • Modifying parts is totally fine if they’re already broken and can give them some interesting new ways to work. For example, I’ve filed the sockets off two Av-Matoran limbs (they were completely annihilated and couldn’t hold a ball anymore), also did the same with the axle holders on some single sockets. This gives them new ways to connect and have proven themselves to be very useful.
  • Painting parts is not an issue for me either.
  • Any brand parts are welcome as long as they’re compatible and have good quality. Purism is narrow-minded.
  • Unless you’re specifically building an existing character, forget canon. Come up with an original backstory that doesn’t need to fit in any universe!
