I dislike that site for the simple reason that it won't load properly unless I disable my adblockers.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Quote from: The Wooksta! on July 18, 2023, 06:51:21 AMNot for me. I boycotted Britmodeller when they banned Tony O'Toole.

They have a little sub board for what ifs.  Sounds nice, doesn't it?  No, it's a ghetto to keep whiffs off their nice clean lawn.  I haven't spent the last thirty years pushing whiffs just to be shoved into a ghetto.  Bugger them, bugger their increasingly authoritarian attitudes and bugger their joyless site.
Lee that's the impression I was getting the more I read about this GB...seems like if ya can't prove it its not allowed and I'll bet it has to be a proper picture of the subject and that's gonna limit ppl bigtime..just seems to controlled and I don't like that ..rivet counters only welcomed it seems.
My thoughts exactly. I had a serious falling out with The Fat Controller and, got banned. I guess that posting a message on the site describing him as an ignorant, narrow minded dictator who acted like a spoilt brat whenever someone disagreed with him didn't help my case (there was more but, I guess you get my drift)but, I was beyond caring at that point. Lee is spot on in his description . I actually have read only access and do look in from time to time. If anything, the place has gotten worse.
Hates rivet counters! Eats JMNs for breakfast!

Who's with me with the pitchforks and who is responsible for the flaming torches?

Never looked at the site, no particular reason why not, so can't comment.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Okay, seems like I missed the machinations and political skirmishes over there, but I only joined it a few months ago in order to follow a post or two about models I've got in the stash. They seem quite receptive of the whiffs I've posted, nobody scoffing or complaining, and many compliments and chuckles. It may only be a small clique there who appreciate the genre, as with other boards.
