Very nice video - enjoyed it

What brilliant talent, I used to go to this college called the glass house, but their art work was scruffy and the whole place was dirty and the food was terrible. They gloated about being an arts and crafts college. But they were also a pagan, learning disabled, vegetarian, organic and alternative placement. Their tools were crude and all their so called art work was very badly made, wonky scruffy chairs, messy and unprofessional "arts!" When I think of arts and crafts, I imagine people like this, people who have REAL talent and can master fine arts and crafts at a very high level of skill. You look at what the Romans, Persians, Greeks and Egyptians made, it's ornate, beautiful and accurate. I would love to go to a conventional arts and crafts college with line heaters, jigsaw cutters, thermal moulders, machine lathes and computer guided carvers, not just a block of wood attached to a stick and a clumsy buffoon making horrible stuff you would just throw in the bin if you had it. I really appreciate real talent, I'm a hard man to please, I have high standards and when someone tells me something is amazing, I EXPECT amazing. I'm usually left disappointed, but not always. I hope his work is still around, this is top quality in my opinion. I hope that someone has his products stored somewhere. For something hand made it's quite impressive!

Amazing

Very nice.

That is not the face of someone who “doesn’t mind being disturbed”!

Its astounding how much we know now about historical uniforms and military clothing. Nowadays we know a majority of those ancient and Middle age unfirlms are completely different

what kind of paint did people use for lead figures back then ?

Are the colors lead based?

I think he look pretty disturbed actually

I wonder how he is doing now, or if he is even still alive.

Ok.

"Sadly, James later murdered his wife and several guests after one of them broke one of his favorite models. Witnesses say that he became suddenly enraged when his wife told him not to worry about it and just carve another one. He then reportedly shouted, "I'll carve YOU!!!" before savagely attacking everyone in the room with a carving knife in each hand. It was later determined that the extraordinarily high levels of lead in his bloodstream likely greatly contributed to his grizzly mindset." EDIT: BTW, this is a joke. ;)

Lead is quite a cheap metal, is fairly easy to work with and doesn't require expensive tools to be shaped into the desired object. So, lead is basically the (almost) perfect material for handicraft.

I was an avid model builder growing up. Had to lock away my workshop from my sister and her stupid friends who would disturb me, and touch my work. Today I am a restorer of classic cars. NO women allowed in the shop, as they simply bring drama and want attention. We have to rope off the cars when displayed, and arm ourselves against diversity enrichers. NO WAY that woman should have been allowed to touch his masterpieces. I will bet you that when he croaked, she threw them out or gave them to charity. I see it all the time. Poor fellow spends 20 years restoring a classic car in his garage, mainly to get away from the wife and be at peace, when he dies and the useless kids sell off the car and blow the money. Collection after collection gets auctioned off, and a man's lifetime work is destroyed. I have willed my cars to a museum, so there will be no greedy relatives getting their paws on my work.

Pfft why doesn't he just use plastic. Ohh yeah...
