Purist or customizer?

The Ultimate poll here, Purist or customizer? Somewhere in-between?

I only customize occastionally, Like painting over peach heads, small cuts to modify weapons, and making my custom flails.

so, I'm in-between.

I'm a customizer. I make custom helmets and stuff, capes and cloaks, paint pieces, cust up pieces, use decals, etc.

I think I know a couple other people who are customizers too. (Ethan, Freak, Recluce I am talking about you.)

Since this is the 'Castle Customs' section... I doubt you're going to find many purists.

I'm a purist to the core.

Okay, maybe not.

In - between . . . I'm not adamantly opposed to customs, but I also enjoy the challenge of finding a part that will work, as opposed to just making it.

Yeah, purist!

And a 'Yay' to the creative purists!

Well, I agree on that as long we're talking minifigs...

Customizer it is.

Purist.

I love to see other people's customs, but I get uneasy when there's even a Sharpie near my Lego.

Purist through and through but I also enjoy other peoples customs.

Only customising I've ever done is to turn a magnifying glass into a druid's sickle.

Purist: anything that exists is open to customization. Sounds pretty darn pure in approach to me.

I am a purist for any piece that is not already broken, misshaped, worn-away, or castle-themed...

However, I must say, when it comes to other themes, broken pieces and the like, I get brave enough to try some creativity... so I chose "somewhere in between".

Purist.

I'm just not brave enough to mix sets up, and such. Never mind painting or *gasp* cutting up pieces and minifigs. Never gonna happen in my corner of the world.

However, once in awhile I do mix minifig heads and bodies, to make "custom" minifigs. Just the kinda wildman I am! Course, within hours they are back to the way they were "intended". This does bring up the LEGO idea of building whatever comes to mind. I DO absolutely limit myself in the creativity area, but, like I said, I'll sometimes mix and match pieces.

But I DO love to see the customs from the non-purists. You peeps do some amazing stuff, and that's no joke!

Wow! And I was thinking that I was going overboard...
I'm a purist only to stickers/decals and cutting pieces. I don't have any official set fully built right now, only MOCs. I didn't realized that there was this kind of purist... well, this open a new horizon to me.

I am both. Though I must say this type of poll/topic has been posted many times.

the only things I won't customize are my unique pieces.

anything like a pitchfork, black sword, red ghost, are off limits. (not that I have those things, only the pitchfork but you get the idea...)
