    Listen David, you eally haven't ruffled my feathers. Truly!

    I'm a hefty skinhead, with a missing tooth, and almost every bone bone broke in my hands from previously coliurful life. Who has sculpted for corporations like Guinness, Lamborgini, the Royal Mint etc. So believe me my feathers are not ruffled!

    But really need to change your approach! This is a great that operates on a friendly basis, that really don't need shacking up!

    The old saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it"!

    I'm not sure if think this site exists on cronyism and back slapping? Because it doesn't! We're all friends who try and help each other!

    OK Carl, listen, I'm sorry lad. You are the gold standard in sculpting and I'm - not.

    I'm really into modelling right now, so I couldn't resist throwing this in. I did it about 2-3 weeks ago and it took a few Saturday night drinks to post it. No disrespect to you- infact I thought you would just dismiss it- as much as I thought about it at all! I forgot the modelling community is a small one!

    No need to keep apologising David!

    Just embrace the forum for what it is! Its a good place to be, you will gain all the advise and encouragement you need here, by not only great modellers, but great folks also!

    Put this behind you and move to better things!

    Believe me, you will gain so much here. Not to mention great friends!

    Keep pushing the putty buddy!

    I would sincerely love to see Carl improve on of my sculpts once. you know, like a pass on.

    but it's true what I noticed him say along here...it demands patience our hobby to develop a style to satisfactory.
    When reaching a certain level of being content of how you work out your concept I sometimes have gentle thoughts about how the 'settled' sculptors would have done my task.
    If they wanted at all.

    Just respect the uniqueness of each ones work and person.

    I'm all for opinion, and David you're fully entitled to yours. But if you're going to offer your opinion, please do so with respect please, any criticism should be constructive and not be slanderous. I know you were trying to be deliberately controversial, but it didn't work.

    Blimey, a Bluenose standing up for a Villan, what's the world coming to Carl? ;).

    Part of the problem here is that what might pass as banter in a social context can appear very different on the typed screen even with a generous sprinkling of emoticons. I've seen organisations and individuals get themselves into all sorts of difficulties with written communications which would have been taken very differently in a verbal contact accompanied by the appropriate facial and body language.

    And I think it's incumbent on us all not to rise to the bait where controversy seems to be the objective. I find writing the response often gets it out of my system. You don't have to post it. :)

    Well aside from everything else, the last picture of the young mister Ball looks a lot like Dermot Mulroney, seriously though the guy looks all of maybe 18 those dudes had some balls back then for sure

    I do not want to feed the f*cking troll, but it must be said that Carl Reid´s posture on this was exemplary, both dealling with the "joke" as giving advices even after that.

    Many other people (me included) would probably just escalate the issue. Congrats to that.

    Ps: Yes, i am being indulgent, flaterrer, apple polisher, ass kisser, and that in return i will get 72 virgins and free busts for a year, whatever.
