I know it's not nice to dog someones build so I have to do it like this.

LOL.  Okay, that was funny.

Well, probably--thank you for the nice kudo's too! I actually have two built planes at my parent's house--an F-14 and F-15. I just don't have any interest in them really. ANd they take up way too much space in a display case. I can fit 6 tanks or cars where only 2 planes would fit.

Good point.

Have you ever tried to build a wingy thingy? Because having seen your armor and your rusted out Nova, I think you could at least do a decent build of any subject.

I just saw a model. GAWD, it looked like crap! It was the worst pile of ******** I've ever seen! How anybody could think the world would want to view ******* like that must be mental! Everything was wrong about the ****. Color, finish, gear, markings, everything! How the ***** ever got ***** to publish the build is beyond me. All I know is they really must be hurting for material. In order to protect the innocent, the unknowing, the below average, and the thin skinned the names have been deleted as well as the model in question.

hkshooter, just a quick question--how many PM's did you get asking you for a link to the model in question?! LOL!

None, believe it or not. And nobody needs to ask either. Giving out the info now would be worse for the poor guy than if I had initially just let fly.

That is some tiny work, Drew.

Thanks. I know it won't reach the high standards of some of the builds I see here, but I'm having fun doing it, and it's my best work to date.

Regards, 

I think I saw the model in question. Yeah, it was that bad. I wanted to comment to the builder that I appreciated his efforts but also pass along some constructive critism. Unfortunately I was on my way to an appointment and I didn't have the time at the moment to do so...then I forgot all about it. Can't remember where it was posted.

It is important to applaud the effort but also help the modeler improve with hints and suggestions made in a positive way so as to not destroy them from wanting to try again.

Well, it can't be my 1/72 scale Sherman build. Granted, it looks like a drunken monkey put it together, but there aren't any markings on it.

AAACK! LOL

True, DURR.

You know, I'd have liked to comment to the builder about his, uh, build but the attitude he exhibited during the write up made me realize two things.

1) He had heard it all before

2) He didn't give a rip what others thought.

Which made me think, "Then why post the build?"

In me best Squidward voice,

Whatever.

so i don't repeat myself

check out my comment on pg 2 of   /forums/2/1083933/ShowPost.aspx#1083933

it relates to this too
