I for one really morn the loss of traditional model makers on film and TV; you know the object you are looking at on a 2 dimensional screen is 3 dimensional  and is tangible; unlike millions of CG Pixels..

      Agreed.





Ridley Scott didn't do bad with only 14/28 million for Blade Runner. :o)


(well, as long as you view the seminal Directors Cut version, rather


than the dumbbed-down original release.)





Little models, painted scenery, but you can't tell that in the film -


those Blade Runner scenes look more realistic than any made using CGI


and costing megabucks, as in more recent films (which others have


already mentioned.)





One (rhet.) question though:  Are there still the skills out there to


do stuff like this based on models?..





Best,
