Modelling is an interesting hobby because of varying interest levels. When sailors of old ventured beyond the charted world… here be dragons.
Some modellers are happy to assemble a favourite vehicle, aircraft, ship, submarine, historical or fantasy figure and paint it a generic service or theme-appropriate colour.
Many modellers like to explore the vast array of modelling products on the market. Painting vehicles using factory-supplied colour callouts, and following step-by-step instructions in HowTo books; modelling takes on a paint-by-number and talent in a bottle approach. To many modellers, this is an acceptable, preferred method.
Others study more advanced skillsets, plateauing at master levels, finding comfort and confidence in knowing what they know, repeating similar processes on each model. Once established, risk aversion is a powerful influencer to colour within the lines.
Modelling innovators who push hobby boundaries find themselves sailing beyond the charted world… here be dragons. Everything is new… always a beginner.
