I am in full agreement with Hewsan. Why reinvent the wheel when you don't have to? If there is an excellent model out there, why, other than for masochism's sake, or if you really get into modeling, or pride (which isn't always good) would you just use the superior model as a placeholder then replace it with potentially inferior work, if you're not a great modeler. Now I can understand if the model is not what you need, that you either modify (if you can) or create your own to replace it, but come on. Some people may feel the need to excel way, and I can respect that, but I am not one of them, nor would I look down on someone who did. Sorry if I am a little rude, but I find it insulting that some people automatically assume that artists who don't make their own models are hacks and subtly snub their work. Anyway, that's my two upset cents. IMNSHO
