Have a look at this http://tdh.prop-planet.com/viewtopic.php?topic=10218&forum=2 I am completely STUNNED that the painter of this helmet would be embarrassed. It's beautiful, and yet he apologies for it's shortcomings.
This is the mindset that worries me. "That something is not good enough because it hasn't been painted by a "professional"
It seems to be quite difficult for some of you out there to accept that a person can have this opinion and HEAVEN help him/her if they express it.
Before we get too far from Bish's point, I'd like to reflect back on the thread he posted as his example. If you look at the replies, the GROUP responded rather politely, giving the member a "pat on the back", and telling him he should be proud of his work. So, how is it that the group is giving newbies a "pay someone else for an accurate job" view of things?
I'm someone who doesn't think highly of my own work, I admit it. I've had people give me great reviews, yet I'm my own toughest critic. I've also known other people with the same feelings, and this particular post was apparently started by one such individual. However, this post was pointed-out to us to reflect how the board is giving a negative view to newbies. And from what I've read, the group is doing a great job at trying to do just the opposite. If someone (myself included) doesn't think highly of his/her own work, the group shouldn't be to blame.
