    Default Can You Make Models?

    This is a short story on a great model maker in Oregon USA.
    I am in contact with Bill,He gives me a hard time.Saying that I only make wooden toys.
    He is nearly right
    I dont think Bill could be beaten,but this may make some of us lift our game a bit.Have a look till the end of video.Done in 2002

    Amature stuff Aussie.

    As he says its a hobby not a profession he mentions not mass producing them yet he has 4 model cars in various states of build. Like his wagons he never just makes one. Whats that he sells them does that not make it a profession making colletor pieces. I agree with the US tax dept he is a professional artist not a hobbiest

    A purest is Bill never can step outside the limits, must be a real object, now if he was asked to build a model of anything other than a US made piece he'd cringe, wouldn't know how cant in fact. Believes that no other design was ever used or implemented.

    Ask him to make a toy Ross.
