ccoyle Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share #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. 😉 popeye the sailor, Keith Black, mtaylor and 12 others 8 7 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

CDW Posted October 5, 2022 Share #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. As you said, just be amused, not bewildered.

popeye the sailor Posted October 5, 2022 Share #160 Posted October 5, 2022 my word Chris........usually I can follow along.....but lately, I find myself bringing up the rear. I really enjoyed reading the progress though........you handled the tough points wonderfully! and bro......you've turned out one hell of a model here.........you've done an awesome job! it looks so good! you handled the nay sayer well too...........reminds me of the reason why I don't visit >a certain site< anymore.........folks who thing they know it all. I simply replied that I followed the info from the Wiki, and it has the ability to be updated, so if they are so all-knowing, perhaps they should go there and update it this is why I love it her so much........we are all of constructive minds, and THAT is how we post our observations. from what I see.......it appears that you've accepted the torch that Dan carried. that's pretty honorable...and as it appears, the right man for the task great looking plane.........what's next?
