I had been mentally visualising a german firld workshop set up in the back of a Maultier for some time. When I went on to Armorama, I found one set up just as I had imagined it. Benches in same place, ditto welding gear and tools, oil drum etc. Now I feel I'm copying this guys work if I stick to my original plan.
Which got me thinking, if modelling is an art form, as most of us consider it to be, why is it modellers never get antsy about someone else copying their work. You can bet that if it was a painting, essay or piece of music, the original author would be screaming blue murder. Is it just because were a bit more laid back, or is it just impossible to police ?
And I'm talking specifically about dioramas here. Obviously wit thousands of people buying and building the same kit worldwide, theres mucho duplication. I'm talking more about the layout and structure of dioramas.
