>>11057674>Are you saying Tamiya stuff was purposely low quality then? Fuck you, retard.No you stupid faggot. I'm saying the basic sculpts weren't particularly detailed because A: it was the fucking 70s, B: the soldiers they bundled in with their tank kits were always of secondary importance to the tanks themselves, and C: they were basically just toy soldiers on sprues. Model kits have almost always been a big hobby for kids in Japan (and elsewhere TBF but especially over there), and their 70s tanks were all designed to be super easy to make into RC toys.
Dumbass.
>No one was talking about Tortured SoulsAh, but you were saying
>We've been talking about children toys this entire time, retard.whilst talking about McFarlane, and claiming that McFarlane are actually collector toys, except they're not, but they are when it suits you? Make up your mind already.
>Note how the small details of the clothing and pouches are much sharper and pronouncedBecause the basic sculpt is sharper and more pronounced? You yourself have said that HPIM is only limited in detail by the base sculpt (which actually isn't entirely true, if you're dealing with undercuts you need to have much more sophisticated moulds- hence why resin and metal are still popular for minis). Airfix's figure sculpts have always been pretty good, though the actual models they came with were often horrifically rough (at least for a long time; recent Airfix kits are pretty great).
>I NEED PICTURES!Sure, have another Tamiya model from the 70s, which again holds up fantastically despite its age (well enough it's considered a better option than a far more recent model, which whilst slightly more accurate is also a fiddly mess to assemble and doesn't actually provide much extra detail over an upgraded Tamiya kit).
But let me guess, you'll just dismiss all my points as "nuh-uhs" because you can't read.
Shouldn't you be spending time with the few family members that can stand you on July 4th rather than...this?
