Hi Just my 2 pene'th I have never said I'm an artist what I am is a model maker in the physical sense of the phrase in that I use my hands/tools to create my craft whether it be a plastic model aircraft, a vinyl Dinosaur, a Wooden Sailing ship or a diorama containing miniatures and other elements. I actualy think 3D imagery is closer to the latter. I do most of this because I enjoy doing it and it makes me feel good, after all it's something I feel I do well. Feel free to disagree with what ever of mine you have seen, though none of you have seen my physical models (I may post pictures some time) The only thing that annoys me is all of the bs that is spouted about 'art'. You all know the sort of pompous ass I mean who stands in a art gallery or on TV and just comes out with a load of gibberish about how the composition represents this or that or the feeling that the artist was trying to impart. To that I say 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and not what You say it is! I guess what I'm trying to say is as long as the person who creates the image is happy then who the heck cares, obviously helpful criticism helps a person to grow. Dave
