But I think that Martin, as a reviewer, was doing his job by describing a small number of areas where he felt that the hull was not necessarily up to current standards, which we now understand was due to limits in the time available to you.
I would echo these comments. Mike, your ability to conjure magic from resin is second to none, as I know personally.
I also know that Martin was giving an objective assessment of the hull for the prospective audience. I certainly don't read his comments as anything disparaging towards you. He clearly stated that it was the old HP hull that had been reworked, and indicated many points to illustrate that it had been done so extremely well.
It's just not perfect, as few kits are. And that's completely understandable, given the starting point of the old HP hull. That you had but two weeks to modify and produce it speaks to your unparalleled abilities. \
As Rich said, without you, this new kit doesn't exist.
