Figure in the Reader Photos
Posted by GMorrison on Thursday, July 11, 2024 4:41 PM

Well, some years ago I was banned permanently from the forums for a photo that showed a lot less girl.

Nice to see that things have changed.

Hello!

Do you mean this one:

gurl

https://cs.finescale.com/fsm/m/online/1581366.aspx

Now you can successfully argue that all the strategic, highly offensive body parts are protected from sunlight. At the same time, isn't this a perfect example of a bigger problem?

We have to protect the children, they say. They have never in their life seen (*)(*) or V and let's keep it that way until they are 21, that's healthy. As for the blood splatter or severed body parts? Now that's good patriotic education! Why, that might even inspire them to lie about their age and join the special forces at 16!

But it's only my opinion - the majority agrees everything is all right, democracy in action! Have a nice day everybody!

Hey Pawel!

     Why didn't she clean her blade off on the cloth of the wearer?

Anyone who was part of the Heroes and Villains group build would have seen a figure of Red Sonja which showed no small amount of skin. So this sort of figure isn't new.

Pawel, the problem is the male and female forms are not treated the same--not even close. Nor are depictions of sexuality and violence. These are culture issues that go back centuries, indeed millennia in Western Civilization, and far deeper than what and which scale models appear on the Forum. What you may allow in your home may not be appropriate on this Forum, and vice versa.  

So, let's celebrate the modeler's work and leave the culture statements for other social media.

That's why!

       I keep my Vampirella and Various form of female figures on shelves in the shop. Visitors to the house might not understand the lack of full coverage clothing.

I do the same with military models of a certain period and nationality.

All personal taste. My father-in-law wouldn't let me park my BMW in his driveway for a while.

That's alright!

      My Grandfather would do the same! He drove Buicks. I drove FORD Products(Mercury/Lincoln).

I saw some figures online a while back that would never have made onto this forum or many others. They very anatomicaly correct and detailed! Both male and female! I considered if I should try to paint a figure, but then I have no exerience with them and who would I even display it for? At least my cars, planes and tanks can be proudly displayed here instead hiding them in a closet like a dirty magazine.

*******

On my workbench now:

It's all about classic cars now!

Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?
