Answer to the Pop Quiz- You 'Get the attention of your peers or arouse their - ( you in the back- Stop It!!) interests' in your chosen modeling subject by using the Stimulus to control the response.

Check out the photos concerning the Pilot being helped with his overall/flying kit. These of course are the Jaguar figures sculpted by the Master Sculpter Mike Good. Mr. Good used a photo of Ltn.

Hans Pippart being helped by a ground crewman as a basis for the figures. I simply put the figures with the pertinent aircraft (Fok.Dr.I 471/17) then placed a copy of the photo by the model in a regional contest. The piece did very well.

Teachers have always had the problem of arousing interest among students in a given field of study. Newspapers decide what will appeal to their readers. Television networks have a vital concern about what will interest the largest population of viewers. Politicians want to know what will get them re-elected. Ministers must present the congregation with a palatable interpretation of the scriptures.

Ever try to talk to someone and get the feeling that their not listening? Stimulus is what causes a response.
Examples:
Intense bright Light causes squinting or blinking.
Door slamming causes people to turn and watch.
Comedian doing a slip & fall causes laughter.
Itching causes scratching. (We won't go into what causes the itching here.)
Dry feeling in throat causes swallowing (and we won't dscuss with what either.)

With modelers its size (yes, it matters), colors, action, direction, balance and variation and intensity. These are tools that we use to stand out against a sea of well built models to say I busted my b**t to make this at least look at it!!!
