(11,363 posts)In every other way. Many of the other artists on that page displayed their figurines of Allied soldiers, so it didn't appear at a glance to be a neonazi type site. Toy soldiers just aren't my thing, and I don't appreciate the continuing obsession with every detail of WWII in particular. It's become a glorification of war, not ongoing respect for the sacrifice of the warriors.
Artistic talent happens regardless of the person one becomes. He shows his beliefs and interests in his subject matter, and he tells us to our faces that he's a completely misogynistic, bigoted, loathsome fascist ahole, so no surprise that he's into tiny nazi toy soldiers.
I look forward to voting against him soon!

like That helmet looks sharp on that Storm Trooper.
Needless to say, all the adults thought he was nuts. And a wannabe Nazi.

The other group, according to my father were people who served honorably in World War II, who wanted to have souvenirs of having killed some Germans, but neglected to take anything off the body at the time.
