I didn't mean I'd already completed it, only that it was on my to-do list - as a warship from WW1, it's automatically on my list...
So you plan on making every single warship that ever served in WWI? That's a lot of ships Snafu... and that would include a lot of Pre-Dreadnought Battleships too!
Would you care to narrow the list down, or do you literally mean every single warship from WWI is on your "to-do" list... also, if this to-do list is really that long, how many years before the list is completed?
Sounds like nobody has even started the Courbet (Matt, Snafu... anybody). Snafu, I don't mean to sound strange, but I've always wondered how long it would be before your WWI mod would be "complete"... seeing as how I know you take your time on each model (you do excellent work), and if you're making most of the models for the WWI mod yourself, that's a HUGE commitment of time and numerous models that will all need to be made.
I'm not a fan of duplicating work (like the whole "how many Ju-87 Stukas do we need" thread)... but conversely, I'm not a fan of preventing work because it's on a "to-do" list that neither has a timetable (that we are aware of) or may not be released seperately because said model is waiting for 50 other models to be completed before it's released as a whole in the WWI mod (which itself is a huge question mark as to release). At least with Matt... he usually releases a model within a week or two of starting (if not sooner) and when it's done, it's released.
Snafu... you do great work... LOVE your models! The only thing is, with this WWI project, you do hold back models (and that is certainly your right to do)... and when you lay-down a blanket statement like "if it's a WWI ship, it's on my list", well... what are we to do on this end if we want something that you haven't started and we have no idea when that model will see daylight?
Not trying to start any kind of "turf war" like "that's
my ship... no, that's
my ship". Matt's just trying to fill holes that are missing... and out of all the WWI ships that are out there in the world, we've seen ONE ship from Snafu (the Helgoland) recently... mighty fine ship it is, but we don't have a list of what you've completed of WWI ships, when they'll be done, and most importantly, when they'll be released.
Matt's just trying to fill holes... I know Snafu has a "vision" of how his models should look and will more then likely make every ship he wants in his mod himself (even if said model is available elsewhere)... me... I'm not that choosy... I'll just grab whatever model I can to fill a hole.
Okay... I realize I'm rambling now... let me summarize before I write a novel...
Snafu... super-cool guy... makes
GREAT models... never know what he's working on or when it's going to be released even if it's done... no problem with that, it's the way it is, but the world moves on! (Respect Snafu like crazy, let's make that clear!)
Matt... just wants to fill holes... releases as soon as they are done... actually makes models Wolf requests (a rarity!). Puts-up with Wolf's incessant complaints and perfectionist model tweaks (even bigger rarity).
I'd like to say, can't we all just green-flag whatever model folks want to work on? Snafu is like the Skunkworks of this board... Makes super-cool stuff, but a lot of secrecy over what's actually being worked on, and when it will be public is just as big a mystery!
What's the answer?
