I am not trying to ditto everyone in this discussion but I do like what Mike said. It's like a working on a sports car, you can have 5 people with the same sports car, and each one looks a little different. Some people add more, some less but they are still the same sports car and everyone knows it that sees it.
For my Titanics, I love to build them, but I know that mine will look different than Bruce's, Loren's, Mike's, and anyone else's. I can put as much work or as little work into mine as possible. Anyone who sees it recognizes it as Titanic because it is, minus certain vents and other items that were on the original. Probably 85-90% of mine is accurate.
And for those that want 100%, they can spend the time to make them totally accurate. I am proud of mine, and the workmanship is what I like the most. If mine looks top-notch, but is missing a few things, I am still as proud as I can be. I want mine to look great, and be close to accurate.
Anything that Minicraft or any model company does to improve a model is great in my book. I do want accuracy but not to the point of being a fanatic. Others do want total accuracy and I applaud that.
So again, I appreciate ANY improvements, large or small, and I applaud all the add-ons as well. Are you listening Loren, Dave, Duane? Thanks guys. And thanks to Minicraft in particular.
