Re: Final Wearer. TDK style.
The recasting debate is as endless as space. Best not to get over tight about the pattern cause making the begins cape in anything but the right fabric is pretty pointless, a Begins suit with a fabric panther cape would look exactly the same even the pattern is all different.
I'd say that Kevins Begins and BDs BEgins are equally inaccurate but both are close enough to convey the original intent and only when you get down to the finer points will you find differences in them and the originals, and last I checked there are only enough of us on one hand that care about trying to get things 100% accurate, though knowing only 90% is possible.
V1 V2 V3 V55 doesn't matter, nothing will be exact to the originals because even when you copy an original with silicone you still get variances from the original.
I prefer to go with imitation is the purest form of flattery as long as great respect and effort is placed to replicate the originals and not just crank out parts for the masses which is the common trait in the industry now.
To me it comes down to the pursuit of perfection in any form is a life not wasted and what the original motivation was when the cave was started. So if more can come to that moto the better and all benefit from the creative energies that follow.
But CRAP is king and the masses out number you 1,000 000 000 to 1 so you have to do your best to make sure your work stands out from the masses
SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAPE DOWN!!!!!!!!

Re: Final Wearer. TDK style.
Na, not out. Just not likely to build anything else. This hobby has been a very large, if not the largest part of my life since 2007. I still feel like the new guy at times..but wow.. it's been a while.
Ill be around.
