A band that influenced every single band/artist that you listed (including Elvis-yes look it up) is not overrated. A director whose film influenced all other horror films since cannot be called overrated. This is not a matter of opinion, it's historical fact, since without A, there never would have been a B, or C.
No one is saying you personally have to like them, or your opinion is wrong. I am saying that they are fundamental influences into everything that you do love, and therefore cannot be discounted as "overrated" since they influenced everything since.
Opinions and tastes are not in question here. Quit trying to spin the discussion to become something it is not. This is a logical fallacy.
Had you simply stated your opinion as your opinion- that would have been a different story.
"I don't like Marines"- is my opinion, but I cannot say "Marines are overrated" because without the Space Marines I would not have my beloved Guard.
Besides, Im just giving you gak Childe, relax man

The real fight is the slow zombie vs fast "zombie" camps anyway.
Personally I think the zombie should indeed reflect its current state of decomposition, though with rigor mortis at least they'd start shambling probably quickly. Then again that's taking it all a little too seriously and like Return of The Living Dead has shown seriousness is not required when it comes to zombies.
ok, so how is it that we rationalize that the speed at which reanimated dead flesh has a direct relation to the decomposition of that dead flesh, yet we accept that skeleton warriors just move?...They have no muscles to move the bones? lol

I usually stick doctor who on tbh... but I have to wait until august for it this year :(
You just became really cool in my book. Go for the complete win and tell me what you think of the previous Doctors.
@ Dstein- Didn't MadMarty have some iron fences a while back (meaning many months ago, I'm still trying to remember that my most recent memories of Dakka are everyone elses ancient history). Where did you get those?
Wait. Don't answer that. I don't need any. I don't.
Also, wanted to share this with you guys, since I think of you all when I find a cool terrain thread:
I'm building the fence kit for review- I'm not really using them yet, just trying to get my last 2 review backlogs done so I am ready for the big-ass submarine model

You are quite welcome. He deserves more attention for such an amazing project and you deserved to know that you're still a major inspiration to people.
Maybe he'll qualify for the LoER!!

lols I know, my main argument against what you've said is that something is always influenced by something else. Without 50's Rock 'n Roll you wouldn't have had people like the beatles

My favourite is and always will be Matt Smith and Tom Baker. Tom baker is quintessentially the doctor, from his scarf to the jelly baby fetish he seemed to have. But Matt Smith has taken a lot of his predecessors mannerisms on board, most of which were Patrick Troughton's. who was not only quirky but lovable and insane lols. I especially love the fact with Matt Smiths scripts they seem to have tipped their proverbial hat a lot to Troughton, especially In "closing time"

Just the first post of that thread looks promising Skalk, I'll have to check it out later too. Lot s to do before the weekend!
I wanted to touch on the Zombie theme for a minute. I don't actually belive the Zombies will be slow at all, or dead for that matter. The dead coming back to life was always a bit hard for me to swallow. However, that doesn't mean they couldn't be BRAIN dead! I think with all of the contagions and super bugs and methods for making super soldiers that I'm sure the Governments (that's right, plural) are working on, there are any number of scenarios where "Something Goes Wrong" and the Super Soldier Syrum is mixed with a Super Flu, and you get super strong, super fast, hyper agressive, brain dead cannibals that can spread thier condition by contact with their saliva. (They would be brain dead because the super flu gave them a fever that got so high, it damaged their brains)
There might be some of these monsters that have been physically damaged, or the super syrum has worn off, and they can hardly move. These might be more like the drooling slow-moving "shamblers". And why in movies are animals hardly ever affected? The only ones I can think of that show animal zombies is the Resident Evil ones.
Just my two cents.
But my version actually scares the crap out of me, and I think it could happen at any time. I need to go to the Sproting Goods store this weekend!
There was a show on the History or Science Channel about that very thing..They say a purposely-manufactured Prion could actually cause that very thing Jake...stranger than fiction I tell ya!
Read that, and don't forget a good old fashioned baseball bat for when your ammo runs out!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean nobody is after you.
Bat, no. But I have a Machete in my car and two at home. I'm a Land Surveyor by trade, and we need them to hack through the brush. By now I am very proficient with a machete! Check.
Pistols, Check.
Shotguns, Check.
Scoped Rifles, Check.
Survival equipment, Check, but I can always use more.
Well, I'm outta here for the long weekend. I'll see you all in about 6 or 7 pages!

Thanks for the Link to the reviews. I've read the Iron Man one before, so I must have come across them in the past.
As for TV shows, I am bit easier of a critic. If it revolves around Super Heroes or the Supernatural I'm watching it. (Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, etc...)

LDD, I'm just doing this for my own collection, not interested in selling
It needed rivets..There have not been enough rivets recently.

will you add rivets to the aquilla too...? could look quite good too... and yes... a serious lack of rivets i have felt in my life recently... seems i need to scratchbuilt soon something... but for now i still have my painting mojo... if that runs out i think building something will happen!
Hmmm....IMHO, to rivet the aquila properly with the best pattern, I think I'd need some styrene rod smaller than my smallest in-stock which is 1mm.

well i can only encourage you on this one... i bet it will look very good... maybe this even calls for a different aproach? you could do some glue rivets? like shaso does? either with PVA or super glue... just slightly raised areas... later on to be drybrished for highlights...
We, the undeserving applicants to the League demand a picture of Dave scratching his stubble, whilst gazing impenetrably at his fence line.
We will then caption this picture.
