The Model Makers.Art

Greatly influenced by famous U.K based model maker, Timothy Richards, I decided to start building models since my late school days. My models are handcrafted and not made by 3D printing. The reason for this is because models can not be replicated because of their intense detail, and they all have a character of their own. I stopped model making after finishing school because people told me there is no market for it and it can only remain a hobby. So I decided to put it aside for a few years and decided to focus on my studies in information technology. Later it did not really interest me so I one day saw this model in a shopping mall that is displayed by retail agents. I decided to speak to the person in charge and showed him some of my models I made in my school years. With an immediate effect is when I got offered deals to build models for them and some of their business partners. Marnus Matthysen - Artist
