Really? Oh that's rebuilt a little happiness inside me! I was bought up in the 80's/90's, when films changed from animatronics and models and stop motion, jim Henson, puppets, etc to computer based animals and vehicles like jurrasic park. The latest Star Wars films were green screen all the way save the props and costumes. It's so sad that a real talent has been overshadowed by computers (although I have studied a little 2d animation and inception art like this alien I drew in photoshop using a pen and tablet... But I digress!
I guess people still need models for tv. The buildings and scenery in the Wallace and gromit animations are sublime.
Allan - the work I have done has rather fine gaps....back to the beginning then haha. I want to try as many techniques as possible so I will get some fire cement to see if its easier than filler. If not then I have tried something new and learned a lesson
