IMO not only the most accurate observation but the most important too. At times we might get carried away in an overheated discussion about the exact colour of Napoleon's waistcoat or the number of buttons on his knickers, some even resorting to crude language to make their point, at times we might seem to be a bunch of cantankerous masochists trying to put intricate freehand on the invisible part of a figure. But in the end it all boils down to that feeling of being kids in the candy shop. Most if not all of us are in this hobby and indeed on this forum for one thing only: pleasure, pure childish pleasure and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. As the late Jean Hoyos, who ran the first figure shop in Brussels, once put it: La figurine il faut la faire avec du sérieux, sans se prendre au sérieux!
