Michelangelo's "Pieta" comes to mind.

There's a huge difference between someone thinking they're "perfect" (which no one here has ever claimed or even alluded to) and in striving for excellence in what they do, on a daily basis. It is NOT a difficult distinction to make, but apparently is impossible for those of you who are content to slide through life doing just barely good enough, and making excuses for your second-rate performances. But people who are content with average have always attacked people who aren't, so why should this little microcosm of humanity be any different? I sincerely hope you'll enjoy your mediocrity, because with that attitude, that's all you'll ever achieve. If "good enough" is always good enough for you, that's fine with me. It's NOT good enough for some of us.

JB's post hit one relevance nail pretty squarely on the head, I'd say.

Hey rocket scientist...I didn't type it...it was in a graphic I simply re-posted. Musta been miscommunication with the Chinese subcontractor. And I seem to be one of the few on here who routinely do use spellcheck. Once again, my point was missed entirely. Let's try one more time, OK kiddies? Repeat after me...

Ain't that just a bidge. Like you say...

Already been there, got the T-shirt. Hasn't stopped me yet, though.

With the apparently widespread low level of reading comprehension, it's not surprising you'd think that.

You obviously have mediocre language and comprehension skills, as that's not the point of my post at all. And accepting mediocrity in everything is only the beginning of the end of the world as we know it.

Great looking gaggle o' cars.

I've read it through several times and comprehend exactly every word, phrase and nuance. Dave's words do not address this particular issue: major...dimensions...incorrect. Or if you believe they do, please be so kind as to direct us to the sentence, phrase or paragraph that does so. This is the ONLY issue of complaint that any of the reasonable posters here have had of the industry in general: major...dimensions...incorrect.

I as yet know next to nothing about airbrushes, and I wouldn't presume to give advice as to which ones were worthwhile. I DO have vast experience with tools in general however, and buying quality tools that are built to last always makes sense if your goal is to produce good work with minimum frustration. There are several highly experienced airbrush users on the forum who have contributed much good information. Here's one thread. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=81390&hl=%2Bair+%2Bbrush+%2Breviews Here's another one... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=94993&hl=%2Bair+%2Bbrush#entry1290409

Great in-depth review. I think this is one area where it's better to save up and buy a good airbrush without niggling design flaws like the O-ring, rather than having to frequently compensate for poor design, sloppy machining and questionable long-term reliability and durability.

Interesting possibilities. Thanks for the heads-up.

It takes a while sometimes to recover from major life upsets like that. Glad you're back in building-mode.

Yup. Exceptionally clean, square, and well-fitted. Very nice.

Interesting question in semantics. In-depth knowledge of a subject, especially first-hand knowledge, has never been a prerequisite to folks having strong opinions on the subject, and arguing about them with much energy. Oh oh. Now I'm probably going to be labeled "anti-semantic".

Wow. SERIOUS H-power !!!

Right. Who in his right mind would EVER want to see anything like this??

And in my ignorance, I always thought Fiat was an Italian company...
