remember they don't have networker style dumb buffers - they have fully functioning round ones.

Not bad though - is it a repaint or an all new model?

To be honest its not that good. its on the wrong model, if you wanted to make it look like buffers add two circles to the bumper section not just the one.

You should also state that its Dave's model at the same time you show the screen shot not as an afterthought.

Did you get permission before posting the image in the forums? It's not really fair on the author if you didn't as this can just add more pressure for them to allow you to release it because x, y and z message him asking him to allow it.

It means that Dave (Buffy) has standards about what he allows to be done with his models. And although Dave is normally to polite to say it I'm not. It's hideous and if you want a 325 best bet is to try and MAKE one or ask someone to make one. Nothing on UKTS looks close enough as is to be converted.

Oh, actually what I was expecting you to say was something like.....

Dave is not the kind of person who would let himself be bullied into anything, and publishing a screen shot would actually make no difference at all either way, because mainly he does not care what other people think of him anymore !
And any pressure applied would just be turned around and used as justification for saying NO.
