You think he's obtuse in this thread, you should catch some of his greatest hits elsewhere on this board...

I have. The phrase "working my last nerve" springs to mind.

I didn't know it was obligatory to agree with all your views.

I may be late to the party, but I was delighted to find THIS in a catalog that came yesterday…

Altho it's "imaginary", the Protector is one of my favorite spaceship designs.

+++++++++++

No way.

A model of the Protector?!?!?!?!? Awwww SWEEEEEEET!

It's for real real, not for play play right?!?!?! Got a link or other info JB? I gotta buy one!

 

edited because I'm old and senile, and just can't friggin' spell to save my life.

Just don't activate the "Omega 13" feature once you completed it, JB...

It'll just undo everything you did, and then you'll have to build the kit all over again.

I'm reposting this to illustrate my point - 


Okay. I don't care about design, I don't care about what knights wore, I don't care about anything but this ONE particular statue from this ONE particular angle. 

Look at Doom's forearms. The one on top, the left one, narrows down to a fine point like a cone shape and the one on the bottom, the right one, has a huge section cut out of it for the left one to be where it is. There's NO WAY that looks right to me - can someone explain to me where his arms are? He'd have to be a skeleton in that armor to fit in the narrowest parts of those gauntlets! 

Going back to what JB said earlier, NOW I see what he means by the 3D thing. I don't normally "think" in 3D the way JB seems to given his compositions and abilities, but now that I've seen it from a particularly glaring angle I completely understand. How can anyone look at the above statue and NOT see Doom's arms being horribly formed?

Horribly formed arms? As nature intended.

Yeah, the arms look like he's phasing them into one another.
