I did notice a number of Tyrannid themed dioramas popping up all over the place after that one won the Slayer Sword, but if I put that one on my list, lots of people will (rightly?) claim that I should have left it off the list in favour of Mike McVey's Space Hulk diorama of the early '90s.<br /><br />And that would be a tough one. Mike McVey's diorama pre-dates Roman Lappat's "Last Light" by a huge margin, and with a similar theme (although no where near the same number of subject pieces and miniatures). But I didn't see it spawn nearly as many copycat pieces shortly afterwards, but perhaps that's just because people didn't show off their stuff on the Net at the time. <br /><br />In addition, there are a number of other Nid-vs-Marines dioramas by some insanely talented painters done after McVey's, and prior to Lappat's, many of which won numerous awards.<br /><br />And in the end, it's not just about subject matter. The question for me is whether or not that individual piece influenced the hobby enough to get people to really change the direction of their own painting and hobbying. I think most people just saw the pic of "Last Light", and said, "Wow!", and then went right back to what they were doing before.<br /><br />I could be wrong though.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729667964915618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464793219154641945.post-59734766060288174352014-10-27T16:05:12.240-07:002014-10-27T16:05:12.240-07:00Oh, there are plenty of historians out there, but ...Oh, there are plenty of historians out there, but I've found that they're more focused on the gaming over the painting, or they are hard-core collectors rather than all-around hobbyists. Also, many of them don't try all that hard to make it something that modern hobbyists can relate to. <br /><br />Where did the current trends come from? Who was involved? When did we start noticing them? What did we do before that? And, as Neo once said, Where do we go from here? Perhaps not many people ask those kinds of questions, but those are the kinds of things that I'm fascinated with.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729667964915618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464793219154641945.post-29038850259382095482014-10-26T19:51:11.331-07:002014-10-26T19:51:11.331-07:00Really looking forward to this series, I only star...Really looking forward to this series, I only started following the painting "world" from about 2012...

What I try my best to do is try and get painters to really think about painting... the processes, the history, the future, why things work or fail, etc. And most of all, I do my best to get people to really appreciate miniature painting as an art form. Hopefully this series does that, and the links I've thrown in should help.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729667964915618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464793219154641945.post-85583354058874761532014-10-23T15:01:47.461-07:002014-10-23T15:01:47.461-07:00Very cool start to the series!
