(...) I take it you define "MOC" to mean something completely from your own head? Typically, I think of a MOC as being anything that someone makes that doesn't follow Lego (or someone else's LDraw, etc) instructions. If you don't consider your (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Joshua, while I agree with you regarding the level of criticism typical to lugnet, I'll have to disagree with your panning of this model.
