| Why is the medic carrying normal infantry gear, and a weapon? That was something that didn't happen. Honestly the tracks look awful, gloss black is not a good color. The vehicle portrayed served at Tarawa, on the other side of the world - big mistake. If the ground is soft enough for that much scrub grass to gorw, there will be track marks. My overall impression with this dio (as with most of the stuff you post, MM) is one of complete mediocrity and carelessness. Whenever I see AI's work I can easily see more things wrong than right. A lot of beginner or intermediate modelers post their work here, which is similar in quality to AI's work. We go easier on them because they are willing to recieve correction, they are desiring to improve thier skills, and most importantly they don't try to justify the gross innacuracies in their builds with this excuse or that excuse. MM, if you want any respect on this forum, don't come here to show off your "perfect models" - they are far from that. None of us builds "perfect" models, but we try to get as close as possible, and by offering each other tips and suggestions we continually make progress towards that goal. I find some of the dios you post to be pretty cool, and despite some inaccuracies I enjoy looking at them, but I think the reason others don't is because you sometimes try to justify the errors in AI's work, attempting to make it look better than it really is. If you don't have as high a standard as some of us, that is fine, but I think the things you post would be much more well-recived if you could admit that it is not as good as some of our builds. In my opinion, these are some examples of top-quality diorama building: 
I can't compare my dios to that - if I did, I'd probably get laughed off this forum, much as you sometimes are. AI's work can be pretty cool at times, but just don't make it out to be more than it is. |
