You and a few other people, but enough people still appreciate the bit that I'm going to keep doing it.
They're easy enough to skip - click the little "-" icon and you'll collapse the entire sub-thread.
I love and appreciate you doing and sharing them, with stats and details.
thank you.
I love the pelican escapades.
+1. First thing I look for in a model announcement thread. I actually came across this one an hour ago and was sad there were no pelicans yet.
It's a decent heuristic because the better models generate better pelicans. That's all. Nobody sane is going to make a bet on a model based on a pelican. But it's cool, it's tradition by now, and it's a semblance of a good first impression for new models.
