Response to It is not about the comment, it is about the ends of the spectrum

John Vojtech's AC-130H Gunship at NATS.....truly amazed. Spent probably an hour staring at it. It filled my heart with gladness that a fellow human being created something that cool.

I thought it was the least "realistic" model I'd seen recently. It didn't look to my eye like a shrunken AC-130....it looked like a superbly crafted gimmicky model of an AC-130 with a hyper stylized paint job.

Did I mention that I stared at it for an hour?

I bet if you showed that thing to 1,000 guys, you'd get 1,000 different opinions of it...but I bet all 1,000 would admit to having enjoyed every second they looked at it.

If a guy had spent a bunch of time trying to create a perfect, scale rendition of what his mind sees as a truly "accurate" AC-130 that you'd swear looked just like a real 130 from a few feet away....I bet it wouldn't have nearly the viewing enjoyment John's did.

Just 1 more little wrinkle in the fabric....
