Touvdal Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Hey guys well lookes like i stirred up a hornets nest. Just to let you know i do a odd AFV, figur, ships, Car now and then for fun. And I also build all my Aircraft for fun, as you will see if you look at my models always OOB,. what i was trying to say that this is a Aircraft forum, and a very good one, easy to overwiev, prop, jet etc., compared to Huberscale wich i find without structure, when looking at posts. So when i want to look at AFV, Cars etc I go to the appropriate forums, so please let us keep this af Aircraft forum. cheers Jes Edited November 23, 2007 by Touvdal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4scourge7 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 It'll never fly. :) We could maybe fit it in a C-17, or slung under a Chinook. Or how about carried by a pair of African Swallows, they could grab it by the husk, or suspend it from a length of creepaaaa. Good Morning ARC Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver1 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I have no problems with the occasional diversion from aircraft here on ARC. I build almost nothing but planes but I do dabble in armor and rarely cars. I used to have little patience for off-topic threads (health, relationships, bureaucracy, etc.) but I realized that some members may be socially isolated through health, geography or other factors and this is a community of mostly like minded individuals and allows a degree of interaction with familiar yet anonymous ARC members. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I look forward to the start of ARC armor. Keep up the good work Steve. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marine4 ever Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 this thread is now officially boring! i will build what i like and look at what i want. i do not care if an AFV is here or not. Cheers and happy building Dan Semper Fi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 So long as they don't start allowing car models, I'm fine with variety! ;) Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick_Nevin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've been building for 37 (holy crap!!!) years. In that time I've discovered that for the most part, Armor guys build armor - PERIOD! Ship guys build ships - PERIOD! Car guys build cars - PERIOD! Aircraft guys like to dabble. I do like that ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircav Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I LIKE Armor and all other types of models.Steve Bamford ARC Owner I'm with the Boss on this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattC Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 At the risk of sounding sarcastic, if your latest knitted tea cosy qualifies as a model, then yes, please fell free to post it. Rules of the Road allow for posting of pics of models for critique Fair point, and I understand all sides of this argument, what I don't understand though is why whenever people are criticised or questioned, they become so militant and defensive: "Nobody can question ME! If I want to do something, then that makes it right because I am so important and special, if anyone disagrees with me, it must be THEM that is wrong" Its not really nice, I've seen it happen all over ARC as well as elsewhere, people might be able to cope with a critique of their models, but not of themselves it seems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pminer Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Recently i have seen more AFV several places in this forum, I do not think that is right, there is a very good forum for AFVhttp://www.missing-lynx.com/ wich i use when i what to look at AFV's. So moderators please stop this pratice cheers Jes Geez....Why should I (or we) care? Plastic is plastic. Fun is fun. We're all a part of a fellowship...a Fraternity if you will. I don't do armor but I learn from those guys. Their weathering techniques kick the crap out of most A/C modelers...including me. Besides....many (if not most) WWII A/C models were flying -tanks-, flying -APV's-...heck, wasn't there even an A/C called the "Flying Boxcar" back in the 50's? I love that stuff!! Adds diversity!!

Scooby Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Some people are so thin skinned nowadays, get over it, armour models are fine and the mods have more important issues to deal with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iron Eagle Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well I'm not sure how it would achieve flying capabilities but it is the boss ride of the carrier air group. Plus it's Sidewinder capable, so I guess it's okay to post it here Frank... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Crazy Dave Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Personally i didnt join this forum to see loads of c*** about non-aviation subjects! i think all you people are sad, weird, fools who should be barred, or shot, or at least painted yellow and hung from a pole (the stick thing not the countryman!)!!!!! Now i've got that off my chest i must go and finish that M26 Dragon Wagon, the first model i have attempted since leaving my job sailing the seven seas (where part of my job was to help shoot down fly boyz!)!!!!!! OOPS - seems i am that freak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE IRONY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus it's Sidewinder capable, so I guess it's okay to post it here Frank... while the actual range is classified, I assure you it will fly - but lets just say it's range imposes some tactical limitations. The good news is that it's invulnerable to every known conventional Anti Aircraft system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrankC Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Fair point, and I understand all sides of this argument, what I don't understand though is why whenever people are criticised or questioned, they become so militant and defensive:"Nobody can question ME! If I want to do something, then that makes it right because I am so important and special, if anyone disagrees with me, it must be THEM that is wrong" Its not really nice, I've seen it happen all over ARC as well as elsewhere, people might be able to cope with a critique of their models, but not of themselves it seems over 10 years of hanging around these sites, mostly what I see are not the people who posted the model being upset by critique. It's others who feel the critique is unfair. This causes the "critiquer" (and those who feel like jumping in) to become militant and defensive. This is especially true when the critiquer isn't actually critiquing the build as much as using it as an excuse to launch into a tirade about something he doesn't approve of (preshading, weathering, academy F-16s)... "Nobody can question ME! If I want to CRITIQUE something, then that makes it right because I am so important and special and knowledgable in the subject matter! How can people learn if they aren't critiqued? I'm only trying to help, and these thin skinned types, who only want to hear praises for thier works are the problem- not me!" Frankly it's not individuals that are the problem - it's usually a dynamic between people who don't communicate effectively. The approach most sites take to stem the very disruptive flame wars that result from this sort of thing is to flat out disallow unsolicited critique. This doesn't mean that critique doesn't occur, not is it not tolerated. Actually there is plenty of it on every site. Mostly it's polite exchanges between "modelers" . I am in complete agreement with the notion that there should be no tolerance of unsolicited "critique". This keeps a few problem personalities at bay - distracting then, and causing them to "r ant" about the policy of not allowing critique. Which is much better than them laying waste to the progress pics and galleries with the flame wars that will surely follow if they are allowed to say what they think. Since it causes such a stink everwhere it's done, I am pretty sure it's not unique to ARC. Edited November 24, 2007 by FrankC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyH Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I luv'm all guy's & gal's,keep'm coming!

Cap'n Wannabe Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Great work simulating the fabric, sir. How do you get the 'cloth' folds looking that realistic? What I normally do is get a grandmother and a crocheting hook. I then add some wool, leave for a week, and voilà. The physical properties of the grandmother act on the wool, with the crocheting hook as the catalyst, and turn the raw wool into the finished product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doctorpepper Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 my 0.02: if we always tell others that modelling is an art form and, of course, really it is; then in no way is armor or cars not an art form. it's just a different way of drawing the same picture - and if you allow it, you might learn something from it! Armor diaroma bases could easily have the armor taken out, and a crashed WW2 fighter put in the same place.. drPepper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
