Hey Kai,
I think I'll have to agree with you on this one....
I think it plain stinks that someone, even a kid would pawn something as
nice as this as their own....it is your basic fraud ---> passing someone
else's work as your own....
in school (whatever level you are in; elementary, secondary, post-secondary,
or graduate, you can get into serious trouble to say the least.
I gave the model 3 out of 4 votes because it looks pretty, but I think
that "Ben" should do something about someone stealing his work as their
own.

| (...) Although Ben's MOC is the best entry in that contest, I didn't give it a single vote. Why? To deny that snotty little brat (the rip-off guy) any credit that Ben should get instead. -Harvey (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)
