That being said, both sides need to keep the personal attacks out of it, because ultimately this is a place to talk about statues, and because we're all apes and can't seem to escape the need to make everything a competition, the comparison and partisanship is inevitable. In an ideal world, if no one took the bait, these threads wouldn't spiral the way they do. Since that'll never happen, I think the line has to be drawn at attacking the person vs attacking their ideas. Clearly, calling people koolaid drinkers for not taking the most pessimistic or skeptical view of everything SS does by default is crossing the line, so I get where you and Josh are coming from.
I can say this for Josh and myself. We love great art. It doesn't matter what company makes them. I know Josh away from here, and I can say that we have a love of what goes into this hobby. So much so we both started to learn to sculpt so that we can try and create things ourselves. What we bothe HATE is when the same group of bashers come in thread after thread and start up the same old ----. Eventually, guys gotta stand up to it.

You are right about one thing "a guy gotta stand up to it" that's why I stand up against those who absolutely blindly think SSC is doing no wrong when they have lots of room to grow into a better company with MUCH BETTER QUALITY CONTROL.

Jesus how long are you trying to go on with this. Didn't everyone agree to move on.

It's clear why you both ganged up on me since you two talk outside the forum and are into sculpting. Time to move on.

Sooo... I hope this Mark III turns out great. I also hope for a low ES.

You mean the Mark VII one by XM? That statue is SWEET. The paints POP.

If you can afford that AND this one, both would be great additions to an IM collection. Different poses, different suit models.

I think this piece looks great, too. Love the sleek, basic, and mostly red design.
