With even the current level of detail available from 3D printing (liquid), depending on how good the files were, a printed kit could blow any other "box stock" build out of the water. That's hardly a level playing field. 3D printed parts in general are, in many cases, so superior to kit-sourced or traditional resin that there's an unfair advantage there too. FOR INSTANCE: I have several 1-bbl carbs that were made for me by a member here that blow any other models of the same carbs totally out of the water. Bill Cunningham has already conclusively demonstrated that spectacular 3D-printed models in 1/24-1/25 scale that are simply untouchable by any other building method are currently achievable. So yes...some thought as to how to classify models that are entirely 3D, or use a lot of 3D parts, or are original designs (3D printed or not) needs some serious thought.

"Thick as a brick" is a Briticism meaning "dumb as a rock".

Ya know...Palmer just may have been the vanguard of the all-too-common business belief these days that "we don't need to actually know anything about our product or even anything remotely pertaining to it to produce and sell it".

If financial analysts were really worth listening to, they'd all be billionaires, not working gubmint day jobs.

Everyone experiences fear, but the key difference lies in the response. A courageous person acts despite their fear, while a coward is controlled by it.

It still surprises me, though not so much as it used to, that so many tough-talkers go to water when the stuff hits the fan.

Sometimes when only the proper tool will do, you have to become a toolmaker.

Looking good.

"Kakorrhaphiophobia" is obviously the fear of kakorrhaphios, either singly or in groups.

Today and every day...

Holy what-the-thingamy?

Me too me too me too !!!!!!

Clean, clean, clean. What they used to call "sanitary", and just real pretty.

Always a pleasure to see your very realistic scenes. Inspiring stuff to any builders of dioramas in any scale, including railroad and military modelers.
