Response to Then are there two issues.."realism" and "accuracy" ?

Not only was the clean corsair not realistic, it wasn't accurate (in it's appearance)  either..  To me they are the same thing - I guess we can mix words but it comes down to a couple hard headed guys who are sure they are right and in reality they both are. 

It's pointless to quantify realisim beyond the individual's preference.  I can't say " your model would be more realisitic if you dusted your wheels" because I'm wrong if I'm talking about everyone's perception, I'm right if I'm talking about my own perception. If you agree with me you might dust your wheels (or not).

If a model has a bad shape  - then it's not accurate - no argument.  But the ability of an accurately shaped model to look "accurate" is an entirely different thing..

Anyway - the point is that you have to be REALLY careful when commenting about realisim regarding others work because it has many different meanings in many different dimensions.  I think most people know this - some just sort of accidently put thier foot into it, but others are doing it to cause a disturbance - and that's really what all this energy and activity is all about.  Not about realisim  ironically enough.
