Modeling absolutely
is an art form! Some might snear at it as merely "representational", but all art starts that way and then gets mucked about. As well as making models I also paint; It's the same buzz. I paint because I am driven to it. I make models for the same reason. The creative urge is what makes art, art. Just look at the number of threads we've had on
"Modellers Block". That's about inspiration or the lack of it. That's art.
I'll never be a great painter or the worlds greatest modeller (pretty good cook though
), and the truth is I've probably peaked at a level just a couple of cranks above painting by numbers in both persuits, but just you try and stop me when the muse strikes.
