Thanks for the post!
Really? Pretty sure you can't come anywhere near 1004 Craftsmanship, 1018 Control and 474 CP with the melds you mentioned, as well as using non-control food and no soulstone. The second link I provided is the bare minimum melds to hit them, and everything, including MH/OH's, is pentamelded with V's in every 100% slot.
