Sir, get a clue.
I created my first purpose built Mecha in 1988. I have pursued a study in Mecha
building for most of my adult life. I have very personnal reasons for building
the way I do. Your comment is both way off base and incredibly insulting.

Further more, based on our past stellar interaction, what makes you think I
would take anything you say to me seriously. Make an attempt to be friendly
towards me and your opinion might carry some sand. Otherwise, you come accorss
as having a big chip on your shoulder.
A chip you took out on my MOC. Get a clue, be nice and be recieved. Act distant
and what makes you think I would want to hear from you. Let alone hear your
ameture comments on a building style you know nothing about. A very personnal
area for me and you trump on it like you have the knowledge.
Go away Mr. Hoffman. Come back when you have something nice to say and you have
taken the time to learn about my mission and my chosen style of building.
What I make is for me and does not require your opinion.
In all fairness, the legs should be 2 studs taller and yes the trans canopies do
seem stuck on. I didn't hit the mark with those areas. So what.
Its when you chime in peppering your post with insults that erks me.
Your nomination to "cut Sophie down to size" title has been revoked.
Review your last MOC post/replies. Your game with me is over.
LOL, all of this comming from a person that said to me, "it never ocurred to me
to use a worm gear as a one way joint, until I saw Mark Nuemann's Hammer."
Or, "I didn't realize your (Eric Sophie's) Mecha were all mini-fig scale."
Do you see why I see your critique as laughable and later insulting?
Really, I won't give up what I love. Don't even try.
