Thanks for sharing that, I think that was 9 minutes well-spent watching it.  :)

That was enjoyable... glad to always know one is not the only nut - probably just goes to show that all of us that model and collect are in some way quirky and strange...

That was a lovely short piece on the relationship between an artist, their subject and their audience. Really moving.

It also got me to finally start tinkering something with Tinkercad (as the follow on video was from Luke of Boulder Rail Road Creek fame):
- Karsten

"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality."
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Unfortunately I don't have any imagination or creativity, where can I buy some? Who makes the best creativity?  lol
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

I've got no shortage of creativity here. :( I'll happily swap for some of your finest "effort".  :P

A very interesting story.

Glad he had the courage to tell it.

All of it, the good and the bad.

Hope he lives another 20 years,

so we can see more of what he creates.

Thanks for sharing this!
I really well done short look into the motivations (not all of them happy) for an artist. 

As a teaser for those considering clicking on the link, it's about the motivations of a fellow who does some excellent minaiture work along with some great scenes showing that work and some of it's creation.  9 minutes you'll be glad you spent.
