Warmachine & BrushDust
Hey BrushDust, I've been thinking about how much we rely on modern tools to restore old pieces, and whether the old hand‑craft approach still holds up. What's your take on that?
I think a hand can feel a micro‑crack that a machine can only see as a dot. My tools are my eyes; I trust a steady hand over any software. Modern gear is handy for speed, but it never replaces the exactness of touch and the patience I need to respect a piece’s absence.
I see where you’re coming from, but in the heat of battle we can't afford the luxury of a slow, careful touch. Speed and precision go hand in hand; a steady hand is good, but a sharp edge and quick response are the real weapons. If you can blend that patience with the tools that get us the job done fast, we’ll be unbeatable.
Speed is good when the pieces survive the blow, but my work needs more than a quick scrape. I’ll bring my tools to the field if I have to, but I’ll still be the one staring at each crack until it tells me it’s gone. You’ll be unbeatable only if the rest of the team respects the quiet of a well‑tended fracture, not just the rush.
I hear you, BrushDust. Precision matters, and if you keep watching each crack, you’ll catch things the machine misses. Just remember the battlefield doesn’t pause for a second of inspection—balance that careful eye with a plan that keeps the whole squad moving. Keep your focus, and the rest will follow.
