Just don't tell me you built that ARF. That's an insult to real modelers!
Well, "real modelers" could mean just about anything. A "real modeler" could build dioramas of extreme detail, or build plastic models from vacuum formed parts.
ARF's, I like the word "assembled." After all, they are assembled.
I used to be a sign painter with art skills. A master sign painter, actually an artist. Over 25 years of it. Then these guys came around with no painting skills but they had computers, scanners, fonts, plotters and cutters. The industry went vinyl. These guys actually forced me to purchase a computer, otherwise I couldn't compete in the marketplace.
I viewed them as "nothing." I still view them as nothing. THEY, think they are something else! Try to convince them otherwise.
I now do my lettering and graphics with a computer. Yes, doing lettering and graphics with a computer, I do consider myself "nothing."
However, my art and painting abilities still go on. The painting, in the last photo, isn't completed. I'm working on it.
