I happened to watch a movie titled: "Three Days of the Condor" in which a free-lance assasin named Joubert ( Max von Sydow ) was shown painting lead ( 54mm? ) military figures in his hotel room.
( One figure looked a bit like von Hammer, BTW )
This movie is the only one I can recall which depicts someone modeling as a hobby.
Is this movie unique or can anyone else recall something similar in another movie?
