Re: How critical should our model criticisms be?

First of all, I think that for your opinion to be taken seriously about a given model that you own, you must take the model out of the box to look at it

Guilty as charged, Pappy (you -- you corker ). I hardly ever remove my models from their boxes, so I guess that disqualifies me from making any kind of comment about diecast models.

On the other hand, I get a pretty good look at ‘em through their windowed boxes. I might not see every little seam or fiddly bit or detail, but I do see quite a lot. Enough to know if the model’s good or bad. I mean, how much of a model do you need to examine before you know if it’s recommendable—or execrable?
 

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
