new kid on the block!

QUOTE (sig @ 18 Oct 2009, 11:21) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>thanks guys!, mr p (or can i call you rally), obsession is the right word there, at least for me, but then i obsess always when i'm happy and learning.there is something very satisfying in creating spaces and objects (which is why i trained as an architect and now make steel furniture) but that goes to a whole new level when you can design total landscapes, communities, histories and personalities!, its like playing god i suppose.
these days i cant even drive the car without looking at the detailing at the side of the road, or how weeds grow out of rock faces. a trip to the park is made more interesting by being a source of new foliage for the track.
the problem is that there is just too much that can be modeled, what about a city...graffiti, homeless, or an old derelict industrial building broken into by boy racers, the list is endless. i suppose we model things for the same reason that artists paint landscapes or still lifes, it helps us understand the thing we are copying.
i was trying to explain the idea of 'mid-life crisis' to s friend the other day explaining how a colleague had gone out and bought a beautiful classic porsche . obviously we are all jealous, but my take on it seems to be (as i cant afford a real porsche) build a mock up of your own village, buy as many supercars as you want (for less than 30 euros each) and drive them around your village with friends!!! , and then park them infront of your modelled house! works for me!!!


have to agree on all of these observations, and then add this....

If you take the road or the track and see it as a living organism(or life) and the car as a confession chair you have endless opportunities of telling stories.
I would like to see someone including an all burned down area where a forest fire have burned down lots of trees and maybe a building or two.

fantastic work as always.
btw. patches of fur is great for grass as well.

Now that idea about a "Plane Junkyard" sounds cool.
You could just make it like a tube(Tunnel) and dress it up as part of the body from the B52 or another large carrier like this:


and another:


....or part of the body a sharp hairpin and out on the wing

Great idea I'll be looking forward for this to develope and it really inspires me to finish of my Mining/Industial area.
Rust and grime rocks.

Scaley have done sidecars you can pick them up at the bay of E every now and then, but they are tricky to drive without magnets.
