    Just a phrase of caution for a new member, who knows nothing about the works of the member whom you're slinging capricious allegations at.

    New member? Ha. I was here off and on for several years.

    I don't need to know anything about your work. It was a simple question even for someone who thinks he's still in High School.

    Enough, keep your comments regarding me to yourself.

    butchered body." The Moebius '65 Nova ...

    Are you one of those who thinks the 65 Nova is so far off that it looks butchered? Lots of guys just love to complain though they've probably built tons of crappy models in the past.  I usually work with what I get after checking out the accuracy of the kit. The '65 is a GREAT kit.
