Zen and The Art of Model Making - The Story of Philip Reed

The story of Philip Reed, a man who has committed his life to his craft; a lifetime of scrutinising detail, obsession, perfectionism, and in the end, something truly beautiful.

Bliss is simply doing what you want in life, regardless what anyone else thinks. Better to have a short life(or poor life) doing exactly what you want than a long life fulfilling someone else’s vision of success. Stunning work, and a wonderful human being.

[@oldhick9047]

This fellow has it figured out, the easy way he speaks says that. I have been a model builder then maker, since the age of eight, I am now about to turn 65, and building more than ever. Modeling have been a place to go for me when all else fails, not to hide, but to "re-group". I often wonder how one proceeds in life without a hobby, hope I never have to find out. Thank you very much sir.

[@nelsonx5326]

Yo Steve, I'm 65 year old artist. Life without a hobby? A guy I knew who didn't do anything creative said that smoking pot was his hobby. He drank to excess too. These things we do for ourselves might be the most important things we do.

[@fkyew]

@@nelsonx5326 I to have met some in my life travels that have no goals. Most say "my hobby is the search for the eternal high" or "my hobby is getting high". I do not question or comment on their choices, I just say that I like an occasional buzz but I do not let it control my time. I retired from the automotive service industry due to a debilitating accident at the age of 50 and have been a hobbyist woodworker for most of my life and now a builder of fine furnishings and an antique restoration pro(less stress on the back). What was once a hobby is now an income. And have been a modeler for close to 60 years. I do not understand how folks can do nothing for a personal goal in life. Getting high all of the time is not a way to amuse oneself (although it is an expensive pastime). When I was 17 it seemed like a goal but by the time I hit 25 I had a small family to support, so it was time to buckle down and make priorities. Now I am glad that I made the right choice.

This was compelling to watch. I have been obsessed with model making my whole life. It's all I could ever think about. I can remember when I stopped model making and went into a deep dark depression. When I returned, the glorious light flooded back in and I was miraculously healed. It's all I know really. I am glad I watched this because I can totally relate to everything this man said. What a remarkable modeler he is as well. Cheers.

[@lowerastral1963]

Thank you. This mini-documentary is wonderful, isn't it? More people who are out there in the world hiding in plain sight (or, tucked away in their little Hobbit Holes) practicing their crafts should be in more videos like this one. I love seeing who's out there creating amazing works of art like this gentleman, Mr. Reed.

[@lowerastral1963]

I've been a model designer, maker, builder, sculptor et al since early childhood. My parents took my older brother and me to the history museum in Denver, Colorado when we were young and I remember being completely in awe of the miniature dioramas showing Native American life before any Europeans invaded. I was so taken with the astounding detail of the models that when our family returned to Aspen (my hometown, born and raised) after our little weekend trip, I started making models (sculptures, really) first of Native American scenes that I imagined in my head. I say sculptures because at first, all I had to work with was oil clay that my mother bought for me. I remember creating this little scene of a Native American woman grinding corn with a baby nearby who was wrapped in a papoose. And there were little details such as flat stones stacked up into a low wall and a bush nearby and a basket filled with corn grain waiting to be ground up into meal. My mother was so impressed with my clay model that she took some pictures of it. I have one of those pictures in a box somewhere in my collection. Luckily, for me and my siblings, our parents were professional photographers (among other things). My mother was an actress and singer who just happened to be a mother of five kids who was also a very talented artist in her own right. My father whose main livelihood was that of a photojournalist and writer was also a multi-talented jack of all trades and, yes, master of them all. He and my mother were avid skiers... my father, really, was what was known in the day as a "ski bum" right up there with the famous Ralph Jackson and a few other lesser-known ski bums in and around the Aspen area. My older brother, I would say became a practicing member of the Aspen Ski Bum Society (no, there's no such thing, but you'd think there was). I always enjoyed skiing, but not to the point where I wanted, no, needed to be on the slopes every day, even after school. That was my brother, not me. I preferred being inside at least half of the time creating things. Crafting things. Eventually, many years later, I found myself employed at Walt Disney Imagineering working as a show ride designer, model builder, and sculptor. I eventually ended up working on a few blockbuster feature films, Tim Burton's The Planet of the Apes, Steven Speilberg's Minority Report, Jim Carrey's Lemony Snicket, the first three of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean films, as well as popular television shows such as CSI: Las Vegas where I was on the team that constructed all of the models/miniatures for The Miniature Killer series which ran for one-and-a-half seasons ... the models of which toured Europe and apparently were most popular in Germany. I have worked on television commercials as well and I was one of Walt Disney Art Classic's "Classics Collections" sculptors. I sculpted all of the Toy Story Characters among other more famous animated Disney characters that were reproduced in limited editions as collectible porcelain figurines. I too have lived on the edge of poverty. The model builder's life is an odd one, that's for sure. I've made really good money in the past. As an employee of Disney back in the early 1990s, I earned an ok living, but it was after I was laid off in 1995 that I ended up earning a better living as a freelance artist/designer/model maker/builder/sculptor/illustrator/prop-maker/mold maker for Imagineering as well as I stated above, working on feature films, television shows, and TV commercials. I'm in my late 50s now and I have no interest at all in doing those things anymore. I spend my days writing and drawing my cartoon strip Polarplexities. I don't have the patience for model building anymore. I think it's wonderful that Mr. Greene is still so passionate about his work. This was a wonderful video. I always wanted to build a model of an old sailing ship, but I never got around to it. I mean, I built one for a television commercial, once, but that doesn't count because it wasn't for me. Time constraints mean that you end up cutting corners in order to get the job done. Honestly, that's no fun. :-( ... :-)

[@rolobalb]

Enjoyed hearing your story now I'm off to look at Polarplexities.

[@michaellucas3062]

Ive just watched this and I must say Phillip Reed is a beautiful human being. His passion for model ship building is truly wonderful and the world would be a much better place if people didn't worry about money so much and just followed their passions and had the same attitude towards life as Phillip. Watching this is very inspiring indeed.

[@dumoulin11]

I'm a painter and what this man is describing is basically the same process as for a complicated piece. There are days where you just don't want to be there, everything is hard and laborious and then there are days where it flows from your fingers effortlessly. And you fall in love with it even more deeply. Heaven is at the tip of my brush.

[@mynickisalreadytaken]

And every time, you do not want to be there, you often just stand there looking at it. Looking and thinking, trying not to think.

[@Spiritof89]

As a 'struggling' modelmaker, this video resonated with me like nothing has before. The reality too has been for me one of near poverty at times to pursue what is also for me a mystical experience, and one which I need to get up every day now and do whether I feel like it or not. The 'dead times' and then the feeling of a 'sunrise' when a difficult obstacle is traversed and the end result delivers that sense of extreme personal satisfaction, which can exist devoid of the need for attention even by others, is what makes miniature model art so completely immersive for me too. I'm so spurred on by this, and reminded of my late father's passion for ship and plastic-kit modelling and how this has remained with me to this day, almost 40 years on from when he first I introduced this artform to my brothers and I.

[@ai8356]

Mr. Reed's comments ring true for life . Replace the word "modeling" for "work," "motor sports" or any other endeavor one is passionate about, and his comments remain accurate. Thoroughly appreciated your video and respect your experience. Thank you.

[@deldridg]

What a powerful story and thank you. At 52, a few years ago I discovered calligraphy and for a while, it became the vessel to center me in the morning from which to derive a wondeful gentle sense of satisfaction in a Zen kind of way. To work with one's hands and to create things of beauty does indeed lead to joyful living, and a reduced need to consume for pleasure, momentary as it is. Many thanks - I've taken a lot from this and now I will reconnect with my pen and ink work... Cheers from Sydney, David

[@bertramwinslowiii2119]

I have loved wooden model ships since a visit to the British Museum when I was 12 years old. Philip Reed is a master craftsman and true artist. A very well-made film too!

[@cjcar63]

Model building has been the joy of my life for nearly half a century now. Few people I know understand it. At times it can make for a bit of a solitary existence, but as Mr. Reed points out this form of art/creativity can at times allow us to reach a spiritual state of mind few can experience. To paraphrase... "It is the journey, not the finished product that matters most." Well said!

[@Jaccayumitty]

He mentions the models in the National Maritime Museum. Many of those models were produced by the shipbuilders themselves to demonstrate to the Admiralty or other clients how the proposed ship would look. So they're not just authentic in terms of how they're put together, but contemporary with the sailing ships they portray. The quality has to be seen to be believed. See them if you get the chance.

[@DiamondCutter423]

A torch-bearer. Philip was handed the torch when he, on High St., had his "Road to Damascus moment" and now when young people are inspired by him, it will be some of them to whom the torch will be passed.

[@zeekwolfe5781]

I built once a scratch model of the "Tamzine"" now in the Imperial War Museum. It was the smallest boat used in the Dunkirk evacuations in 1940. Nothing complicated, just clinker (I think that is what it is called) construction at 1:15 scale. It took me over 100 hours. I can't fathom the work this man does. His working of detail is beyond my level of understanding. I also built a Chris-Craft 1:8 utility boat, modeled after one used on Lake Arrowhead. That one took over 75 hours. Compared to my primitive attempts, this mans work is simply awesome...thanks for the posting.

[@ofiterpunte]

Of all the hobby art forms, model making is probably the most unifying, the most spiritual. We use the same tools, we build the same things, we go to the same place, it has the same meaning to us all, we even describe it in the same words. We work not for ourselves, but against the self. A bit of lifetime sacrificed into fragile bits of plastic, of wood and metal, worthless to the few watchers, everything to the single maker. It is us, and unlike anything else in life, we control it, own it. They say time is the most precious thing. But time ends for us all, we have zero control over that. I say it's this piece, right now. I will not stop until this piece is perfect. And the next. And once the pieces end, the model completed, we open a new box and start a new model, smaller, more delicate, more detailed, more beautiful. Little towers of Babel, completed in miniature form, not up but inward, invisible to any jealous God, all part of a great unifying albeit silent language. Amidst the loud, we are the quiet fellowship. Best wishes to you all.

I'm 65 now. Oh how I wish I was in my teens again with access to work like this on the internet to inspire guide and teach. This is what I would have chosen to do with my life. No money and living in the provinces, back then, it was impossible to even begin. At best you may have found a well thumbed library book with a few poorly produced photographs and primitive drawings. There was no way to experience what is so readily available today. I do have a large library of my own, which has taken a lifetime to assemble; Philip Reed's books among them. So to study this subject has become reward itself. I remain content with that. This video is a lovely piece of work.

I absolutely admire Philip Reed. His book "Period Ship Modelmaking" pulled me out of a rather dark place. And as for modelmaking being a form of art - the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto has a permanent exhibition dedicated to model ships. To me, it confirms Philip's point. (And I believe they have at least one McNarry's model).

[@michaelhughes3302]

Can we please talk about his tiny miniature table saw. I just about died. So cool!

[@officialbritishtaxpayer5609]

I think it's a modified Minicraft 12volt table saw. I notice that a larger table has been put on top of it and it has a better fence than the original product. If you can't find a new one, check that famous auction site that rhymes with "flea bay" . If no luck there, Proxxon makes a 240 volt saw with a footprint about the size of a sheet of A4 paper and I use one very frequently. best of luck with your modelmaking!
