RIP Shunsaku Tamiya, age 90, the chairman of legendary modelmaker Tamiya. He didn't found the company, but started working there in 1958, just four years after its founding, and helped it shift from its original line of wooden models into the plastic kits it is so well known for today.

I don’t trust any rejigging of freelance tax reporting while no drop down menu has “writer” on it. Fortune teller? Yeah. Writer? Nope.
Until you accept we exist, I don’t think you’ll understand what we do, or be able to make it “simple” to work out our tax.

I knew I was finally a professional modelmaker the day I epoxied both elbows to a desk while waiting for something to dry.
Always end up slicing a thumb and/or finger with a new scalpel blade.
And who doesn't glue their fingers together?!

I'm an ex professional modelmaker AND fan of miniatures in movies and tI endorse this 🧵
I'm a fan of miniatures in sci-fi movies; I thought I'd share a few posts about the work that went into some of my faves, from the excellent channel Peircefilm Productions.
The Duncan Jones movie 'Moon' is a wonderful film and the use of practical effects was fantastic.

this simple trick could save 95% of Grand Designs going over budget b/c of unseen build issues and also save me, an ex architectural modelmaker, shouting such at every frigging episode
This is Minoan clay model of a house. Initially thought to be a child’s toy, it’s now seen as a construction model for a real house. Its architectural motifs are typical for the middle Minoan period when the palace complexes were at their height.

This was a fun assignment: an unexpectedly affecting YouTube documentary about fledgling computer graphics in the 1970s. Look for the surprise appearance of Coen brothers' film score composer Carter Burwell moonlighting as a CG modelmaker, and classic footage of Shatner's 1980s toupée 🖖🤖💾
Before Pixar, there was 'The Works,' an unfinished '70s CG feature produced at the New York Institute of Technology by a who's-who of pioneers in the field, including Pixar founders Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith.
