had not read the latest installment of more ships. How to buy it directly, was waiting to go through my provider to buy when reading the forums I find that I had broken a very bitter debate, or rather, a list of grievances they argue, argue it debates a few, that is, all messages in the thread were almost in agreement in one direction only: to criticize an article by Mr. Isidro Oliveras appeared in the magazine for consideration, supposedly, offensive.
read the outbreak of anger in the forums early in the morning before yesterday, giving the chance of that morning I traveled to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich lost no opportunity to learn in depth, that is, buy the magazine read the article, talk to different member, with colleagues from the MMB Asociciación and, moreover, Antonio Alcaraz. I still had time before I go talk to some other common foreros privately clear. I was getting an idea. Not until I got home last night, that is, I could not read on the forums as the debate went last night and it is certain that he had not changed much. As of today, after all these readings, conversations etc, these are my views on this issue: First I
struck by the magnitude of the dust raised by so little, that is, after reading the article more ships, and re-reread releerle me rubbed his eyes that so little had caused so great a stir. Or have I developed a considerable elephant skin or some of my colleagues foreros are extremely hypersensitive skin: the article makes very little that could be considered offensive and what it says is general, without naming names of course, not a dirty word and so just highlighting a fact that is true in general terms: lack professional path that currently exists in our society.
This lack of career path, cursus honorarium would say a classic, is evident in all sectors and undoubtedly also occurs in model, is neither good nor bad, it's a fact, period.
I think we should make a point of reflection before we start throwing vegetables. Most of us in the forums (we use a) are or beginners or inexperienced. I mean we have a hot head and cold hands.
hot head because we full of data, sources, photos, references to treaties incunabula (almost never read), sesudísimas works in six languages, CAD programs, which I ...
cold hands, for I fear that the models built in number and quantity are not up to much science. And I put myself as an example, my curriculum model is small, barely a dozen ships, of which four were kits, the rest flat plane or not most, do not consider myself a beginner, but if a modeller little experience.
If we analyze the offended group declared work I'm afraid it is much higher, even more, there is a dangerous dominance of kit and in a particular case I know of but pointed out an alarming lack of finished work.
In this state of things an undisputed master like Mr. Oliveras, which takes a lifetime (no metaphor, is a whole life) devoted to modeling, which has done everything in model English, publisher, who made boats to bore, who has exhibited in Saint Malo ... etc, is referred to as beginners who have a wealth Modelistica so short, it seems to me a favor, rather than an attack. It is what it is. Who offend to remove vessels has done, teach them and tell Mr. Oliveras: "eye, I am not a beginner, I made twenty boats including at high level, I won ten contests and I've also exhibited in Saint Malo - under a pseudonym, so no one knew - "Is there anyone who can say that? I do not of course and I am afraid that none of the offended group can say anything like, so please, less spirited verbal. Or is that someone who has, say, four or five kits, not a beginner (or novice) for a model like Oliveras, which starts making the plane? One problem
Internet is that we head full of birds. In that sense I disagree completely on the line who have followed the offended: nor is there reason for the offense (among other things because Oliveras says nothing offensive) or offend anyone because nobody customized.
I think, moreover, those who have offended are not many, just telling the offended and then count those who have not written, as in this case we must take into account both the color of the letter and the paper they are printed.
Otherwise I fear that article was not read very thoroughly. It is basically a technical article (which would be superfluous to an expert model, but for beginners and inexperienced), quite well written and well illustrated, well illustrated, that Mr. Oliveras has made a bower in DM to illustrate I say the gossips that in just over a week ...
In short, a certain feeling of shame and to thank this gentleman, for his article and for his career and, moreover, to recommend a little bit of humility or, if it is not, of realism
