I agree that the future is not roses for all. We get to enjoy the transition to having both (for as long as we do). The pain of it all is that this is a market of desires. We desire more as our imaginations become more realized in the may details that we can’t push by hand. Its daunting to see painters who do their gigs for box art all the time and many painters here that easily could make it by if there were the money for all.

Considering that all I think that perhaps we’re better off than at the moment we have AI the likes of “The Bicentennial Man”. With all the design work that has been pushed into the minis showcased at the 10 and 15mm scales maybe its realizing our boundaries, which we continue to push, and limits, we will never surmount. The 3D printer seems to be giving us more of a conundrum to literal scalability of effort.

It seems like a tangible afterthought as you could take scanned design models from models at 7″ (17 cm) [Spawn/other collector figures] or 3.75″ (9.5 cm) [GI Joes] and shrink them to our gaming sizes. Technology offers interesting options.
