Fellow enthusiasts, while us modders appreciate the interest you have in our mods there seems to be a lot of gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.....then there is the posts of the "hey nice plane you are working on but can you do this one too". Craig's Typhoon post is an example.

It went from him showing off his Typhoon to, "Can we have a TSR.2 next?
Then we move on to the, is it done yet, or can we have an update, or will you keep us updated. Last but not least, the rivet counters. It's nice to be critical and advice is always welcome but there are some that are going to the extreme that are pushing some away from modding at all. Veltro's MIG-31 is a prime example. He is trying to get it right but A. he is a new modeler, B. he is doing the best he can. But some have picked it apart so much he doesn't want to post pictures of it anymore. We will be lucky if he even finishes it at all along with his other projects.

Here you can see he is not wanting to show anyone anything for fear its going to be packed apart again.
It's things like this that cause the modding community to not show their works anymore. One prominent skinner has pulled his projects from CA because he is sick of the rivet counting and the gimme gimme's. Some of you drove him to that extreme. That is a damn shame.
A lot of you are forgetting that we are doing this in our spare time, we have no deadlines set. Some projects are on hold now to see what the new patch brings. So step back take a deep breath and let the modders do their thing in peace.
