Yes, congratulations.  Much better than most of your other replies.  At least you are learning how to deal with constructive criticism.  Now if you would just pass some of those on to your "professional" builders, you may get better models as an end result.  Then you may not get as much flack here when you post them.

Hi Model Maniac,

Firstly,i have to ask what is your motivation in posting things from your collections in this forum and to that matter  any other modelling forum on the net?

Generally people post W.I.P's or finished diorama's to display their work to recieve comments (good or bad) and gain  knowledge in ways to improve their hobby.This is the reason why modelling  forums exist.

You may feel like various people have been hard on you,i totally disagree.People with extensive building experience and military knowledge have done nothing but try to help you out in IMPROVING  the quality of your collection.The keyword being IMPROVING!

Diorama's or vignettes can be compared to a painting or a photo, the dio builder trying to portray a  story or moment in time.

Now,you don't have to be a historian or military expert to see when four figures have been badly placed on a dio.Straight away the viewer will feel distracted from the dio,and then  the story or theme of the diorama is then harder to follow.This is the feeling i get everytime i see something posted by yourself from Art Instructor.

So,my  question..what do you wish to get out of a modelling forum?It seems you expect a pat on the back everytime you post something.To me, you  would be more suited to posting pics of your new additions in  a gallery on your homepage.

To be fair,I think Art Instructor has alot of potential, maybe if you or him were  to post W.I.P pics everynow and then you would see a direct improvement  in the quality of his work.People wish to help you out,not pick on you!!

Just by mixing and matching some heads and arms ,or changing body positions,dropping a figure from a box etc.  you will see direct results.Heck,even google for some actual military photo's and buy kits to work around the photo.

Until then,expect the sound of the same record from the same people,over and over, and over......
