hello
well i thing critics which write about such flaws will have to live with the aspect that some people think they want boast with their knowledge and trying to spread their wisdome around.
iam very limited in my articulation in english
i see it this way i like to speak and discuss about figures.i have no one here wich is interesting in them.so i use this forum.
for me its an place where i can learn and inform myself about the scene.
why i am good informed in german army WW2 and some historic figures
iam not in WW2 british american napoleonics ect ect.
so if i paint something of the later and get wrong.i am happy if someone knowing it better gets me some tips what is wrong.i do not consider this as evil spirit.
nobody can be knowing anything about every timeframe.so why do people take such critics not the evil way,and understand it as the whish to disuss such issues.
i never made an single comment about an figure out of the whish to sound nosy.but iam getting more and more concerned that this postings are unwanted and are not liked.
so if we do not want the forum get to am ohhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhh how nice thing,we should not be upset about critics.
about what shall we discuss shall we write 30 postings how lovely the face is done when its all said in one word NICE.....we call in german such things JUBELPERSER the jubiliant persian..i think this can and shall be more
i am sure NOONE did posting those critics because he wanted to show how intelligent or how well literated he is.all are posted in the true will of discussing things.
for me painting figures is am partial aspect of an true interest in history at all.so i consider my figures not only as painted nice puppets.i want them make as accurate as possible,if i could paint an napoleonic the wrong tunic colour i would be happy to get hint to correct this wrong painting.
so no evil spirits only the whish to discuss issues.
if you annoyed by them you can repost or ignore them.its so easy.but you should not think they are done out of arrogance.
cheers
I understand your concerns, and the points you make are valid.
The criticisms
are welcome, it is just courtesy to cite the sources. How are we to know facts about a subject just based on a critics word?
The historical information that members have are always welcome and it would be a great service to take a piece, identify the flaws and make a list of corrections. So that moving forward there is a procedure of correcting a piece if the artist is interested in historical accuracy. The "References, Research and Uniformology" is unused in this regard
Another item to mention is that with our large audience sculptors, painters, producers need to have an interactive voice with the members: If there is something that an artist is struggling with, ask the membership. Young from Young Miniatures has inquired of the planetFigure members to assist for information and we were all eager to help
In the end, we all have our favourite genres, ancients, WWII, etc. we are also a mixed group here with different classes of interest artistic, technical, historical,etc. etc. Myself, I mainly sculpt, I ooh and ahh over the details of sculpting where as another person has deeper passion for history or another for technical details of a rifle or armor.
