pzrwest, wonderful military figure art, all.

Just my opinion and we have all seen your cool panzers.

One point is that in offering a critique: offer the positive before going for the negative. Just a suggestion. I see a lot of hard work, some great, and work on a learning curve (sometimes me), being displayed and that should be respected.

And yes, I have read the accounts of what the Early American Migrants, the US Government and the Western Plains US Army did to the Native American People of this content and of course vice-versa.

What happened in the America's during the 18th and 19th century's though, by no means is rational justification for what happened in the 20th Century, ie, WWII at the hands of the Axis Powers. Just won't wash and don't under rate your country, Canada is pretty clean compared to the USA's history.

And I am not attacking you and I am dismayed you think that.

Your avatar image was an issue though, as some suggested my favorite Tiger IE model in my past avatar was an issue for them.

I am strongly suggesting you will gain greater respect in the modeling community by stating that it is a poor idea to post your Nazi avatar as a public image, without a standing explanation caption, of why you are dressed in Nazi gear. As in what's up with this?

Sure, for a movie or historical re-enactment, or airshow, or whatever event, that may be a different story.

Ones political convictions may not be questioned in those arenas.

Though, a good and brave soldier prince in the UK, showed up for one Halloween Party in a Nazi shirt and world public opinion condemned him soundly for wearing that shirt.

So, it is easy to get tagged, unfairly, regardless of your true beliefs, just like Prince Harry.

Anyway, you aren't really some California surfer dude with an iron cross decal'd on his board, are you?

Take care, John
