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 B-Wing to be a MOC, how would you feel about, say,
Shaun Sullivan and David Eaton's AT-ATs? Lego hasn't made a model of them
before, so they don't even have that to go on, although they made it from
pictures.
And then, what about someone who makes a model of, say, a Corvette Stingray to
minifig scale? While they will probably try to capture some of the more
evocative elements of the car, they would have to use less detail due to the
size of the creation, so most of it would probably be from their head rather
than from pictures of the cars.
And what about someone who makes lots of houses? Certainly elements will be
inspired by houses around them, but most of it might come from their
imagination.
I'm not challenging how you define the term MOC... I guess I just hadn't
conceived before of the different levels of creation when making ones' own Lego
models, so it seemed really obvious to me that a MOC was anything you made
without instructions... you obviously have a different definition.
Interesting.

| 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. Certainly it is off-scale and unreasonably long, but it achieves a level of visual detail that surpasses most, (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
