In my opinion, there are MOC's that are modeled on someoneelses ideas, like
star wars models, corvettes and airplanes; then there are MOC's that are are
models of your own ideas, the difference being that one is an exercise in
rendering and one is a representation of something that previously existed in
YOUR head only. To me its all about creativity, and modeling other artists work
is not as exciting as your own work as a matter of course. splitting hairs on
the meaning of MOC is irrelevent. everything you make should be Your Own
Creation! As far as Im concerned
I guess thats it, I like the things you guys had to say in defense of this MF
model, See-ya later
