he is only a building engineer

Well, he says he is. Probably jealous.
Ignore him John, your work looks great to me and the rest of this forum.

Unfortunately John there are inadequate people out there who find that the only way to improve their low self esteem is to try and make others feel bad. They are the type that haunt on-line communities, where they hide behind a pseudonym, and don't have to face the consequences of their anti-social behaviour. They are always right, never in the wrong, and are always being misinterpreted. Perhaps most significantly, they never seem to present their own work for inspection, which says enough.

I personally no longer look at other sites. My work has been badly criticised elsewhere, which is very deflating, but here we all behave like decent human-beings who appreciate the skill, time and sheer effort that goes into what we do. Encouragement and support is what it's all about and on this site we look after one another.

You are a great modeller, a key member of the community and a true inspiration.

John, ignore the critic, what does he know he is only a building engineer. Your work is nothing short of brilliant and as long as it pleases you that is all that matters at the end of the day even though we all know how good it is.


Andy.

“Only a building engineer”....well, probably means he’s played with his lego a few times.....

...... and a mate.
I really like your dio work. I think it is excellent. I reckon you are very skilled AND my opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. There are always those who massage their egos but criticising others.

I'm with Ron, John.
have you tried regular UHU?

Neil, thank you , no and yes to the UHU ! Had very little left in the tube. One problem is making the sheet produces a twist , this of course doesn't help when trying to glue. Think the best course of plan is to pin as well , then glue rivit heads over the holes when done .

Ron +1 here as well. Nothing wrong with rivet counting, but only if it’s you counting the rivets! Ignore them John. I stopped looking at that site a long time ago.

Thanks Tim, will do .

Like "dodgey" plumbing and "wonky" brick laying does not exist in the real world??.......this "Clown" is probably still living in his parents basement!!
Rick H.

Bless you Rick , thanks buddy .

Sorry to hear about all that John. We tend to be our own worst critics in this game as it is, without having more slung at you unasked for!

Your work always looks incredible to me....

Nick

Thanks Nick appreciate you comment.

Hi John,

Sorry to read about your work being picked at. Your buildings are really very good John, I certainly couldn’t achieve what you do, so hold your head high mate!

Unfortunately some decent Facebook groups are spoiled by the odd moron.

Thanks Si again I appreciate your comment and support.

Forgot to say John. Try evo stick contact or silicon bath sealer for sticking the corrugated sheet on the building.

That's a good suggestion Tim, I do have a tube of Sticks Like S**t if any will work that will .

Well, he says he is. Probably jealous.

Peter thank you very much . I know you have indeed suffered at the hand of these types before.

Just caught up a bit and lovely work on the building:astonished::thumb2::thumb2:
Never mind the troll John, the internet is full of those types...

John,
There is only one critic you need to worry about and that is yourself. As we are the hardest to please. Personally I think your buildings are the dogs and would be happy to call them my own.

Evening Rick, depends were they are from ! The greens in this one are German Camo, seemed fitting to use that .
Grandson has given me for Christmas a Airfix Lancaster in 1/72 ! Can that be done in 4BO ?

[Mini Me]

Yes it can...........but the rivet counters and paint Nazis will be after you :nerd:
