Has anyone thought about releasing an instuctional "how to" video/ dvd, covering some of the main aspects of dio building/painting techniques?
I know for me, its hard to grasp some concepts by just following still photos with captions. Just a thought!!

Major Goose comes to mind for some reason, maybe he mentioned it in a post some time ago?

I don't know if it's still in production - there was PBS show with a guy who did a TV show that was almost an FSM on TV. It was broken down into segments, instruction, introduction, 1:1 comparison.

There was a bit of discussion (idea concept) of using a web cam to show a technqiue.

I believe that Adam Wilder did a "how to" at Nationals in Atlanta last year that was put on DVD. I, for one, would love to have one of those as well if someone knows a source.

The only problem doing a class with a webcam would be the quality of the video. They're usually fairly small and the the best clarity. It's a shame we can't get a FSM Channel or something like that on satellite, why not there's a ton of other channels out there for stuff. Maybe even a couple of shows on HGTV or the like.

Not diorama related, unfortunetly.

Anyway the key to sucess is experimentation
