I used to write to Derek Meddings in the 1960's.. His dedication to his model work was so evident in his letters, that it is no surprise to me that his work is so well regarded? The fact that he willingly shared "how to advice" with a mere fan made a huge impression on me .. He was an outstanding craftsman.. To have started out doing model work with Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's TV shows, then progressing to Superman, Batman and then Bond, is amazing.. It really is genius work.. To have worked with him as Nigel did would have been very rewarding? Steve Begg also started out with Gerry Anderson's Terrahawks TV series, also with great results..

So you are the reason I couldn't find a 1/32 Hornet. I don't think I've ever done a Hornet, oddly. A couple 1/32 F-15s and F-16s, but never an F-18.

The problem is studios used cgi to completely push miniature effects out of the industry. Studio movies don't do miniature effects and in-camers special effects anymore. Haven't done in 20 years atleast. Maybe one niche director here and there, maybe some cartoon channels with one show that relies on stop motion, and maybe a few speciality movies. If studios used both miniature sfx and cgi together to do the best job possible then people wouldn't call out and hate on cgi workers so much. This stuff is what engineering is about honestly. Building prototypes and testing them. It's delicate work. But everyone in industry just wants to sit in front of a computer and get the product out as cheaply as possible.

Many end up in private collections through auctions. Or you buy them at places like Propstore.com. And some are in the Museum of Miniatures in Lyon, France.

I've directed a number of kids in commercials over the years. It always astounded me how many parents were greedy for the money and pushing their kids to get famous. I'd say the parents are worse than the film sets.

"They're ain't anything wrong with that." There certainly isn't. What's more, this a type of artistry that needs to be preserved, along with matte painting and so many more practical approaches. I was always fascinated with this work when I was a kid and still am. This would always be a dream job for me. God bless the many people who brought these imaginative creations to life that would fill my youth with wonder and delight.

@@BR-ty3hx This is not the first time I have experienced this sort of behaviour from people on KZbin. I dislike the entitlement. It's not about the money. People seem to think they can just edit together other people's videos into a new video and make money. This guy covered my Sense of Scale footage with other footage to avoid seeing my watermark. In one small portion of my interview he intentionally blurred or digitally covered my watermark. So, now I have to look through all his other videos to see what he stole. This guy is not the only one doing this. That's what annoys me. If he would have just asked me I would have let him use the footage for a credit or mention in his video. Very simple.

@@piercefilm Man I have apologized, explained to you what happened, owned up to the mistake on my own channel, and offered you compensation for the mistake. You don't have to accept that apology or even believe me but you can stop making up lies about me "covering up" your watermark. You have no watermark in any of your videos. If you are referring to the logo that KZbin places over your videos in the KZbin players, that is not a digitally embedded watermark. It honestly was a mistake that your video ended up in our video on aliens, and if you want an explanation of how that could have happened I'll happily explain it to you. I can also assure you that I have deleted any videos we have of yours from our archives and I double checked to make sure I had not used your videos in a different alien video. We have not. I again apologize for the bad mistake and would usually have asked to use in the first place. Again, that's for you to decide if you believe me or if you even want an apology, but I'd ask you stop saying i was nefariously trying to hide your content or watermark when you have no watermark on your videos.

@@FrameVoyager You don't get it. It's not just you doing this sort of thing. Others have taken videos of mine and used them in their videos without asking. It keeps happening which annoys me. I get that it was a mistake. Fine. Luckily the nice person above let me know about this or I wouldn't have known. I dislike that you just download my videos. All my videos have watermarks on my channel. Maybe the marks go away if you illegally download them from my channel? I've never downloaded anyone else's videos. I don't know about that. I would never think of doing that. But just the idea of not asking a person and taking their footage is not cool to me. I have only mentioned it here on this thread and no where else. Some friends of yours or viewers of yours are sending me messages that I am deleting. I hope this stops. You seem to have fixed the problem. Move on. Be careful what you download and use next time. All is good.

@@piercefilm All good! Yeah, it really was a genuine mistake and your videos weren't even supposed to be downloaded in the first place. We just had them in our section on miniature effects but ended up using other sources for that part. I don't like using other individual documentaries like you've created. But yeah, the watermark is just an overlay KZbin places over the video on the player itself. It never actually attaches to your video. I do get others taking video content as I have videos with interviews downloaded and used other places as well. I usually don't mind as long as they didn't just re-upload the entire video or I'll at least nudge to get a source link. But that's up to any rights holder to decide how they will approach an infraction and I understand your viewpoint. I apologize for the comments from the people who watch my videos. Nothing in my comments about the situation are meant to point them at you but take responsibility for the mistake. In the end, love your content and you make some really cool in depth stuff!
