I need a scale model of a Doomsday Device !!!

meet the minimal "authoritative" definition.>It seems that even these most limited of standards, get ignored, when dealing with "already completed" miniatures. I am simply asking why....Yes...I have seen it.

No...when the discussion was about mentioned miniature figures, I assumed the figure being referenced was a traditional scale model cast in resin, or white-metal, as in the casting I myself referenced. Until you provided the link, I was unaware that the poster may have been referring to a toy "action figure". I was thinking along the lines of traditional castings, such as Poste-Militaire, Andrea, Pegaso, etc. (the traditional type seen in *scale* *modeling* shows, exhibitions, etc.)

I personally have not, on this particular action figure. But a fellow modeling friend, who has worked with this action figure, definitely has. His hobby skills have expanded into this genre, as he corrects and enhances these figures, for other collectors. He researches the subject, makes appropriate corrections on the figure, be it resculpting parts, resewing, or redying the cloth, scratch-building new equipage, etc. He is becoming known as someone who is "writing the bible" on correcting and enhancing action figures...which seems to be a requirement for credibility... (not to take anything away from Mr. Young's fine work)

Let's revisit that now, shall we? In message # 7 in this thread of June

"Oh...the leather "gimme" flight jacket, that *every* modern president has worn at one time or another.

Perhaps...but the discussion was about available *scale* *models* ... not "action figures". Many of the action figures are very nice, and very close to scale...but they are not "scale models" (to be prepped, assembled, painted, etc.)."

In that message, which ***preceded*** mine, you quite obviously ***were already perfectly aware*** that the subject of the discussion was an action figure, contrary to the - shall we say, "untruth" above you're now trying to spin. You may not be overly surprised that you just lost the last bit of credibility you might ever have had.

Oh - so that friend of yours has performed a detailed analysis of the figure in question? Would you mind sharing his insights? Inquiring minds want to know.

No....the message *before* that, from "Jessie C":

...where I replied:

Jessie C. used the word "figure", and I thought "cast resin or metal figure". And then I referred to a cast-resin figure kit, which was available (for a brief time) around 1990. (I do not remember the company)

"Tomcervo" then replied to my post, and his reply suggested that it was not a traditional historical miniature casting Jessie was referring to, but an "action figure" (figured out when he referenced an actual event). After that, the link was provided for the "action figure". And at that point, I realized that in Jessie C's eyes, "figure" could also mean "action figure".

You claimed that until I provided the link, you were "unaware" that the poster may have been referring to a toy "action figure", yet in the very message preceding the one in which I provided the link you posted the following:

"Perhaps...but the discussion was about available *scale* *models* ... not "action figures". Many of the action figures are very nice, and very close to scale...but they are not "scale models" (to be prepped, assembled, painted, etc.). So, to thwart his juvenile attempt to preach from the "Leftist Mantra", and to add some maturity to the original poster's lurking and trolling, I re-steered to conversation to "models".""

If you would truly have been "unaware" that an action figure was the topic, you would not have discussed them the way you did. You should consider a career with Fox News or the current administration.

there is a model that at least requirs cleanup and painting of the doomsday "ship" from the original star trek show. yeah it is sci-fi, hey bite me!
