This is the small group who believe they carry an air about them without considering the air which exudes from their backside. These are the guys who have a penchant for building the best possible model airports from scratch.
Considering that this is the largest and most time consuming project in the diecast realm, it amazes me as to why they share so little to the complimentary responses they receive. It baffles me when little or no information is given on the ends and outs of their grand airports. Sometimes, tidbits will be exchanged with regard to the materials used, but apart from private messages/email responses, that's about it. If these guys think some of our scratch and ready-made projects are a waste, then their ability to communicate their presentation is a total waste.
One would expect that if fellow enthusiasts came over to veiw their work, there would be praise and an exchanging of ideas about the whole project. The conversations would spill over to that particular airport and the past and present airlines that utilize it. But, if it turns out to be a one-way conversation, I can only feel sorry for their guests. This one-way or no-way I'll talk appears to be the conversational route for the so-called elite.
If they can gather the wherewithal to communicate some historical facts, anecdotes and anything else about their airport (my god, throw us bone), it would make the presentation so much worthwhile. That goes for all of us.
