If you improve, then by default whatever you've improved on is inferior.
"Improvement" implies superiority.
Which, of course, doesn't mean that something "sucks", it just means it's
inferior. If I say I think "The Empire Strikes Back" is an improvement on
"Star Wars", then I am implying that I think "Star Wars" is inferior to
"Empire". That doesn't mean I wouldn't rather watch "Star Wars" than a heck of
a lot else.
I don't think Greg's model "sucks", either, but to say he's improved means that
things he's built before are (probably[1]) inferior to things he's building
now. Which is.... just fine. I built a castle when I was a kid that would
pretty clearly be inferior to just about any castle I built today- but I still
think the old one had some neat points to it[2].

[1] Anyone can have an off day, or have built a wicked cool model early in
their building career.
[2] Like the catwalk that went over the courtyard for no good reason, other
than for people to duel on.
