Thanks for the correction Huolong. You are right. Sorry but it was around 3 AM here when I was posting and my brain stops functioning properly at that time (I even spelt my Nick wrong! ;0) ) Long before I got involved in computers, I was big into military modelling and wargaming (started nearly 30 years ago). There is an almost obsessive attention to detail amongst the modellers and their circles that research their creations to the nth degree. I remember seeing one well-known modeller being completely slated ina miltary modelling magazine because the thread colour on the uniform of a 1/12th scale model of a WW2 figure was slightly off the proper shade. Since computers, I have done little in the modelling area and my memory of the detail fails a little (e.g. Vlasov). Many figure builders are now turning to 3D as a new way of modelling. From their point of view, the correct detail is everything. Some of them are in involved in publication of images for specialist military uniform reference guides and research on uniforms, costume and armour. Accuracy is an absolute must in such circumstances and they tend to be very critical of failings in this area. It is a minefield with lots of snipers. WW2 uniforms tend to attract even more than the usual criticism as regards the accuracy thing; something to do with the amount of published information and the passions, which run high. Huolong were/are you into plastic/resin/metal figure/vehicle modelling or wargaming? You sound like you were/are. timoteo1 I totally agree. Depictions of or interest in historical military equipment has nothing to do with politics, it is another aspect of historical research and should not be attacked because of its subject matter.
