This is why my visits to TMP get less and less

The "hobby for the bearded and weird"...nice one. :)
Sorry, wall of text, TLDR.
I too visit the PMT site less and less these days.
Same here Gordon...
I couldn't even be bothered to go through it all...
Perfect header for the topic, S.
Cheers - Phil.
I've only ever visited when topics such as this pique my interest. Everytime I come away wondering why people bother with TMP.

I'm frequently amazed at some people's high regard for their own opinion.
The topic bored me after the 3rd post ;D
They are too purist over there, cant even have a laugh. I like to refer to this topic on TMP:

If you just read the second post in that topic, you'll ne offended if you ever played sci fi.
"Gamey"? As in dead pheasant? :P
One of them even used the word : "cantankerousness"
I can't understand why there's so much elitism on miniature forums, people need to get a grip, aren't we're just talking about miniatures and wargames for gods sake :(
But some people try to take MY position - I'M ALWAYS RIGHT.

"O wad some Power the giftie gie us

Don't remember that either, unless it was before my time. :-\

Maybe he ran afoul of our resident Asian Tiger?

Speaking of which, what is the status of this? And by this I mean the various Korean/Chinese/Asian stuff that has been asked about, not only the nineteenfifties bits.

We've not made a lot of progress on the foot, but we are working through some of the vehicles mentioned, like the PT-76 and the Cent's.

I didn't press him for details, merely saying what most people on this thread have said - it's unlike us. He's not noted for whinging, though. :(

I hope he comes back for another visit. Has he tried the Totty thread, not much prickly in there!
:D

No Nik this is not a challenge - we do not need to see smooth ones - we know they exist and remember this is a public forum. :d

If we know smooth ones exist, and we know there are hairy varieties, I suppose the challenge would be stubbly ones...! :D
But yes, I would then have to edit them for suitability... in Photoshop... close up for accuracy...! :D
