[quote]QUOTE: The question is directly related to rivet counters and the clickish attitudes of so many clubs in this country, that we have seen talked about on this forum in the past. [/quote] <br /> <br />As far as being a rivet-counter goes, I'll count rivets on my own work (and literally have!), but I won't do it to someone else's, because my own work has fallen short of my personal level of "attainable perfection", but high enough that I'm satisfied with it. In other words, I tried to get the correct number of rivets onto a piece, missed by one, and said "oh well, it's not worth doing over for one rivet". <br /> <br />As for clubs, I was in a club 10 years ago. I was assigned to build a mountain in one corner of the layout. I spent about 9 days building the mountain, and it was beautiful. I came in the next week and it had been ripped out by the roots. The scenery committee decided they didn't want one there after all Ten years later, there's still nothing there. I don't even know who was responsible for the decision, nor do I care. I'm a lone wolf and happy to be that way. I can work at my pace to my own standard of perfection with no one to satisfy but myself.
