[quote]QUOTE: <br />When you've been in the hobby far longer and grow to have more experience, you will find that most modelers tend to copy parts of other well known modeler's styles to create their own layouts...which is why sales of MR have been a success for so long. There's no mumbo jumbo involved in the building of most layouts. <br /> <br />CNJ831 <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Ah the grand old argument "Son when you know more you'll see I'm right"... It is often a valid argument. I know that much I was told by my grandfather when I was young; I did not accept nor understand, due to my lack of life experience... <br /> <br />That being said though this is also an argument that sometimes means "When you have stopped being an iconoclast and conformed, you will agree with me/us"... <br />I respected my grandfather greatly, in fact he is still the one man I place above other men, but where most of what he told me has been true, some has not because I am my own man, in my own time, not he in his... <br /> <br />It is my humble belief, not that my belief of him counts for sawdust, that "When (Chip has) been in the hobby far longer and grow(n) to have more experience" He will produce his own vision, as he does now, and that it will be set by his own standards conscious or unconscious, artful or other. <br /> <br />When it comes to something that has an artistic component to it lines blur and definitions get hard and pointy, there is a right way and wrong way to install a water heater, there are many ways to paint a landscape. <br /> <br />Nuff said from me. <br /> <br />Peace. <br /> <br />Coyote <br />
