Your thoughts please gents?!?!

There definitely are more models available for German armour than any other country who fought in WWII.


The simple fact that so many variants of each type were produced makes this rather impossible to ignore. The Panzer IV had perhaps the most & even a variant like the Ausf H had 3 production changes.


Add to these the 2 & 4 wheeled armoured cars, the tank destroyers, recovery vehicles etc.


A quick look on the Missing Lynx Constructive Comments page shows that of the 50 threads on page 1, 26 of them relate to German WWII subjects!


To my mind, German armour was much more interesting than the Allied stuff. No tank has the cachet of the Tiger tank, even the T-34 falls short of its menacing presence.

Don't be envious Dave, a clever 'wordsmith' doesn't need to resort to foul language

Quite right Ron I agree entirely.


There are, give or take a couple of words, a million words in English which can be used.


About 20 at a guess in use expletives. One description of an expletive which I thought


appropriate is "a word or phrase used to fill out a sentence or a line of verse without


adding to the sense."


Better perhaps explained in another way. Before finishing a career in architecture I


turned to film making which I found like model making very fulfilling.


Any way one of the first golden rules I learnt served me well. Never use gimmicks with in


a film either in the filming or editing except for a very very exceptional reason. A good


successful film should completely absorb the viewer within the story or subject of the film


without interruption of thought and mind.


Every gimmick introduced will divert and interrupt the viewer's mind from the main purpose


of the film. To tell that story with out interruption. The use of gimmicks is completely detrimental.


The same with expletives in text. They divert the reader away from the subject or story. That is


unless you have some obsession with expletives. The writer has failed
