| Subject: | How about incremental Blogs? |  |
| Date: | Oct 19, 2004 |

At most sites, 99% of all kits are built to the point of only needing paint or are at the end of the painting process. It has struck me that there is very little “construction” in these constructive comments with most a fait-accompli. Show us your blog and we see all your skills laid bare, good and bad, so I personally thing it takes twice as much guts to do a half blog than a finished product ready for painting.
What about incremental blogs? They could be submitted in 3 or 4 stages so that the running gear for a tank or rolling chassis of a truck being stage 1 of a stand alone blog. As other sections of the project are finished they can be offered up and the viewer/surfer can decide to pursue additional blogs on the build in question. I’ve had projects get to the point that I’m almost ready to stuff them up with a poor paint job only to find that things are not right and the kit is now a right-off. The up-side of this is that I can get all the road wheels on a Tamiya Tiger I kit working with an out-lay of about half an hour extra work on my part and the entire running gear working in a few hours from start to finish (never seen much point in having working indi-tracks and the glued road wheels preventing proper appreciation of the whole thing). I could have done a blog on that or on a project that I did to build up the inside of the Tamiya Tiger I turret and gun mantle to accommodate an after-market set in a fashion that would roughly approximate the turret interior. Anyway I could only do part blogs as things change, whilst under construction, that preclude completion and submission of a total project (I do do OOTB builds and I’m happy with them but there is no real impute on my part with those).
I've often thought about these blogs as being the only true constructive comments forum on the web and would hate to see them die just because they are open-ended.
Just my two bobs worth.
Steve (it’s all good in the end) |
