    my thoughts remain the same as before - it is neither hommage, nor critique... it is just riding on the coat tails of those who could....
    Wow what an awful viewpoint. We had no idea what your thoughts were before because you didn't post them - probably a good thing.

    We are all "riding on the tails" of others and I am astounded that you don't see the fun in my link.

    Hope your day gets better handrawn.

    The Dali house I should think is based on his 1937 painting Le Sommeil (Sleep)
    probably... though the representation looks more like a bird skull; I would have been more impressed if something a little challenging had been attempted...

    @ Paul

    we are all standing on the shoulders of the giants that went before us Paul, so I think maybe you misunderstand what I mean by riding on coat tails

    your question was 'How wonderful are these?' to me they are not wonderful; I am just not impressed with the generic interpretations

    you canna please everyone

    and there is nothing wrong with my day, all things considered - I hope all is well with yours

    @handrawn - thank you for the alert to the spamming action of a TGer. Another Mod removed the link. I decided to delete the Post as it contributed nothing to this Thread, Forum or Community.
    Should the OP actually come back with their genuine review of the product then I am happy to re-instate the Post and link into the review.

    @pauland/@handrawn - handrawn was not enamoured by the link. This does not mean his opinion is wrong. Debate is one thing but standing either side of a chasm and throwing brickbats does not get anywhere.
    Further argument should be confined to PM, where I too can be approached.
