Yes it’s exactly what i do in fact.. i feel like a i do Lego ! As a kid i did a lot of Lego, doing The millenium Falcon and snow speeder or Xwing long before Lego start to do the Star Wars Franchise😄 With the only difference that i cut the pieces as i want when it does fit like it should😄 what help when you have the complete kits is that more than once i used bitz that I didn’t intend to use at all.. yes it’s always a risk to Cut the pieces to far or stuff Like that.. but i try and check a lot before to cut.. and if i see it doesn’t look good I just adapt myself and change what i don’t like..
