I haven't responded to this, but thought I might as well add my take on how I see these posts of images.
Since this is just for fun, and the fun is in seeing how nice a kit yoi get out of your efforts, if a guy just posts his picture of the kit saying "look what I did," I'm going to say great, and my comment is going to be completely honest -- it IS great. He built a kit! More than I can usually get my sorry butt to do. And he shared it with us! That also is great. He didn't have to bother.
If the guy asks for comments or critiques, I usually won't give them unless I think of something really pertinent, particularly if the kit is already done, because they it's too late. And even if I do give a suggestilon, I 'll try to do it as gently and constructively as possible.
I'v heard of what the atmosphere can be like at the hobby events where kits are on display and there's nothing but snickering and negativity unless each bolt is in place and the zimmerit is spaced just so and you've done the right chassis number. Let's leave that stuff at the door.
That said, HeavyArty, I know where you are coming from. You are a top tier builder and you don't want to be getting "great" comments just like every other guy (like me) who can barely glue two pieces together without putting his eye out. I try to really let my regard be known for the extra fine job that expert modelers like you do.
