Not at all Mike, it was a good tongue in cheek commentary and I agree
wholeheartedly! I have enough trouble just finishing models at all - if I
tried to factor in exactly how a model would look from a set viewing
distance on a hazy day with a high pollen count at 11:21am on July 3rd 1917
in Ypres and seen from a northwesterly direction I'd quit the hobby and take
up knitting!!
Andy - taking it to ridiculous extremes as always.
