Partizan spoils
Re: Partizan spoils
Each to his own is a good way to be. If you like it, do it, if not, then don't. I've never followed the latest fashion (except in footwear ).
Re: Partizan spoils
On the Perry note, I sometimes find the flash terrible on their metals where their plastics are generally flash free

Only sometimes? Lucky you!
Re: Partizan spoils
I haven't bought any metal Perrys for three or four years but when I did they had little or no 'flash'. What drove me mad though was the huge number of vent lines they put in the moulds. I presume that this is down to making sure the detail casts ok, but it is always a real chore removing the metal that has gone into the vents and you invariably miss some even at the undercoating stage

I bought a coffee... Put me right off buying anything else.

Re: Partizan spoils
Was it because you didn't have any money left afterwards? I bought one of the twins a bacon roll and had a pasty and chips for my own lunch - almost £11!!!

Re: Partizan spoils
I readily concede that TFL rules and Perry figs are popular, I was rather refering to the sort of uncritical fanboy fawning from the masses out there. TFL rules just don't appeal to me much and while I have many, many figures by the Perrys I'm still irritated by vent runs, flash and poorly defined detail on weapons for example.
There is no point in being stupid if you don't show it!

Re: Partizan spoils
I think calling people uncritical fawning fanboys is both harsh and derogatory purely because they like a particular product and you don’t. People like different things and should not attract derogatory labels purely because they think differently to you. It’s really not what the hobby is about - broad church remember?

Re: Partizan spoils
A veryt broad church, we allow all kinds of fawning fanboys in.
