Much of these discussions have lead on a path of referring to "rivet counters" as those who choose to superdetail their models. For much of my time in the hobby, "rivet counters" has been used to describe those modelers who put down efforts of others because "there weren't the correct number of rivets" on their models. <br /> <br />These guys could pick apart anyone elses' models, but very rarely had any of their own to show as examples. Thus "rivet counters" got to mean people who critisized modeling of others without being any better modelers than they were. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
