Some months back, when I first brought up decals with Vader, I expected to get into a discussion with him about ideas on how to make templates, how to keep them in place while painting, and how to paint the insignia. I was respectful due to the high quality of work he was obviously capable of. He couldn't take the constructive criticism of how his decals were covering up details and ruining the effect he was going for, he just took it as an insult. Then I noticed how he was responding similarly to anyone else in the thread that had anything to contribute that wasn't just smoking his pipe. So now I mess with him.


Sounds more like you mistook my intentions and got sand in your vagina that you’ve been carrying around for months.

That doesn't mean I lost the ability to spot the same mistakes I was making when I was 12.

But your math is off, the last relevant personal experience was 1981, not 1977. That's when I was painting on the insignia instead of using decals.


Whatever dude. We're roughly the same age. I 100% know the quality of the models and supplies we had in the late 70s - early 80s. It was nowhere close to what we have today. If anyone would have teleported one of Vaders models back to that time people would have gone gaga for them. He got excited and posted a photo before he 100% finished a model. That's no reason to be a jerk in your approach.

It's like you're just responding to parts of my posts.

That's totally irrelevant to how he could be handing the insignia on his models today that would preserve the realism he's looking for. A while back I offered to discuss some insights of how I used to handle insignia in the past, but he got pissy, so I didn't.

He 'forgot' until I reminded him.

You're right. But then, that's not why I'm messing with him.

You could've just stopped right there.

Thanks. That’s the Hobby Boss 1:48 scale Douglas Devastator torpedo bomber. I did this particular one as it would have appeared during the Battle of Coral Sea.

Nice build and haya in Japanese means fast, quick or something along those lines. I'd ignore dumb posts from people who will then reply to anyone with more nonsensical comments, just to boost their post count.

Thankfully by the time they had them in big numbers we already owned the sky and had sent their aircraft carriers to the bottom of the ocean as well as had just about cut their supply of oil so they gad to ration fuel which meant less training time for new pilots.
