Dak did an awesome job, however the "judges" (and I use that term loosely) did not see it as better than the top 3. Oh well, does that take away from the work? Nope.

In my opinion, this was a better job. Fort Max is still obviously made from what it was... the same old thing with sprinkles on top. This? If he hadn't said, I couldn't tell what it was made from. My first guess would have build a complete scratch build. The no.1 winner was in the same vein, I couldn't tell what it was made from.
Also, I don't believe I bashed it at all. I can only assume that you assumed that because you're overly defensive (yeah, and now who's backin' they're "buddies"). No, he did a great job, for what it was, which was a few cuts, some LED's, some new jointing, and panel lining. At the same time, if he'd done a smaller toy, or a less desirable toy in the eyes of collector's, would he have placed with it? Probably not.
Also, I love how you signed up just to defend a guy. Classy. Which also reminds me - why is Payton on here in the first place? He's not a Canadian resident so it can't be for the sightings... and I don't see him in the discussions... so I can only assume it's to pimp his work. Also, very classy.
So what I'm gathering here is someone did a custom, a large scale and slightly more in-depth version of what a lot of people call touch-ups, with some new joints and lights. Now, as soon as it was posted, it got flak for it's bizarre taxonomy. Basically, the masterpiece title was used to create hype, as it's *not* like the official MP line at all. Sure, popular way to do it, especially if you're in the crew with some twats around this fandom. As soon as people voice an opinion otherwise, saying this doesn't fit, or I believe that this something else should have placed, the militia gets called in gun down anyone with a different personal decision. All for someone who doesn't even feel to keen on defending himself - probably cause he's not getting the circle jerk he's used to from being on TFW over here, and so when he's faced with criticism, we get this shitstorm.
