You have a good point here Paul. you have to make people sit up and take
notice. and perseverance is the best way and whining tends not to do that.

I have to say Paul, that at Brickmeet last weekend, even though I only
brought one MOC along the response I got really meant a lot to me. Since
you were one of those who commented on it I thought I would mention it.
But feedback is really about one thing, and one thing only. Other people's
points of view. I like to geed feedback so I can see how other people
think and build. use those ideas in my own building
Paul and Zac have been big influences on my building of late, but that is
because they have commented on my stuff. (but when you are in the same room
as a MOC it is easier to comment)

It is the nature of communities. but good examples speak for themselves

Just a note Paul, Love this ship. but I agree that the boat hull sections
may be a little out of place. If you want to expand it sideways how about
a second set of engines to give it that hugely overpowered look.
