Working on it ender, but it's a double edged sword. The last time I shared the technique of using craft papers, foamboard, and dollhouse items, a few of my customers as well as the casually interested made "How-To's" purporting to have originated the concept, or worse, said they built the diorama I have fashioned for them.

Stuff like that stings a bit, you know? I know it's not rocket science, but it would be the height of good manners to at least acknowledge when a brain is picked and an idea perpetuated.

But I am working on it, because I was driven by the enormity of the thing I saw on the Lord of the Rings extras. The techniques they used were the exact same one I do, and I imagine that the commission for such large sets like Minas Tirith and Rivendell, were lucrative. So I figured a few "How-To"'s would enable all of us to get to that station, where we can be appreciated for our craft and compensated for our talents.

Look at the guys on Robot Chicken. Their sets are sometimes better, yet, I have seen work from many of you that is far exemplary than theirs.

One never knows what can happen.
