A Fixture
I certainly do not consider myself an artist ,I am a model maker and painter of figures .
Now there are some guys on PF who can and do paint on canvas and are artists ; semi professional ie they sometimes get paid for there work .
The Pierre Conrad plates are art and he also painted historex stuff many moons ago .
Most people you show your models to don't see past the toy soldier in front of them and are oblivious to the skills required to get a professional finish.
I have seen in modelling clubs the guys who struggle to get a decent finish on anything they do , and actually look away from the quality stuff in there club , but thats a different story.
Just some thoughts
