What is it with light aircraft?

I agree.  We need more comments like "hey, look at how neat that model is, it even has the right rivet count", and less of "well, I guess it is okay, but it has the wrong number of rivets."  Rivet counting can be okay if it results in more positive comments than negative.

And then there are the folks who add internal detail to a completely enclosed area.  This can be done inadvertently- I have done that myself.  But when I notice an area will be completely enclosed I don't bother to put anything in there anymore :-)

I would always give positive comment, but even where criticism is well intended it can be wrongly construed, so I avoid that these days.

I have the attitude that if somebody is held up as some sort of modelling God or worse, acts like one, I'll tear them to bits. If someone is just good in a humble way, I'll praise them from the rooftops and if they are struggling, I'll always help wherever I can.  I figure that's the least I can do after so long in the business.
