ccoyle Posted October 5, 2022 Author #152 Posted October 5, 2022 Thought you all might enjoy this little exchange that took place in a Facebook group after I shared some pictures there. Every group of modelers has "that guy" who is nit-picky to the nth degree: The best way to respond to such a character is to beat him to the punch. Here's my reply to him: In case anyone wonders, Mr. Karczewski's comments were the only negative ones posted, and no, I'm not bothered by them -- mainly just amused. 😉 Egilman, Jack12477, Danstream and 12 others 8 7 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

CDW Posted October 5, 2022 #153 Posted October 5, 2022 Epic reply Chris. Bravo! I truly believe some of these type criticisms are a result of some sort of psychological disorder and cannot be taken at face value.
