  1. Well, Ron, I was trying to be nice about it, but you’ve just attacked me for my opinion so we’ll leave it there. Happy modelling my friend. Ian
  2. I think what’s clear in this discussion is that everybody has their own opinion, which is great and has generated healthy discussion. However, just because you don’t like rivets on your kits, it doesn’t mean those that do are wrong. Personally, I love kits with fine, recessed rivets, I can’t tell you why, I just do. What I do know is that I think kits with minimal surface detail look like toys, but that’s just my opinion, doesn’t mean I’m right. It does mean I will still buy a kit with minimal surface detail though, if it’s a subject I’m into, it’s not a deal breaker. Clearly this isn’t a kit for you, but who knows, maybe another manufacturer will produce a kit better suited to your tastes. Ian
  3. Very, very nice! Superb finish. I love the lines of the Sabre Dog. Ian
  4. I, until recently, thought I’d got as good as I was going to get with my modelling. But after an increase in mojo for the last twelve or so months, which shows no signs of stopping, I’ve found each finished model, at least to my eye, is better than the last one. I try to use a new technique on each build, put into practice methods and products I’ve seen being used on the phenomenal builds on here. I’m by no means new to this hobby, but for my last build, I used oils for the first time, I also used a riveting tool for the first time and realised you can teach an old dog new tricks. I build for myself and I don’t think I’ll ever be at competition standard, even though I’d like to be, but I’m fine with that. I accept that there is a limit to how good you can get at anything but I’m very happy where I’m at as a modeller if this is it for me and I’ve reached that limit. Ian
  5. It’s your model, build it and finish it how you want, which you clearly have done and it’s beautiful. My last build I that posted on here received comments of too heavy panel line wash for the weathering, so it just proves the point you can’t please everybody 🙂
  6. You’re not asking for someone though, you're demanding everybody does and it should be against the law if people don’t do it to suit you and you alone. We aren’t talking about museums or art galleries though, are we, so don’t be ridiculous. I’m going to stop before I get banned on here, you take care mate, enjoy your modelling and slips of paper have a great day.
  7. I didn’t ask if you were being deadly serious, I just think you’re being unrealistic, expecting everyone to put a description at the side of their model because you want to see it. Jeez, just ask somebody on the stand if you’re that interested. Ian
  8. I spoke with them too regarding the Boston, they confirmed the 1/48 and also said eventually they’ll be doing it in 1/72. Ian
  9. Ahh, bugger, I used to live down the A60 at Warsop, I’d have been there if I was still that close! A brilliant idea though👍
  10. Thanks Phil, really appreciate it 👍
  11. I can only echo what’s already been commented here, stunning, just stunning. Ian
