Another pretty amazing model effort as therapy with VW content.

Check out the FEB 15 entry for Kublewagens to start.
(I can't figure out how to post pics-duh)

After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark built a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populated the town he dubbed “Marwencol” with dolls representing his friends and family and created life-like photographs detailing the town’s many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helped Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds from the attack. Through his homemade therapy, Mark was able to begin the long journey back into the “real world”, both physically and emotionally – something he continues to struggle with today.

Fantastic Job! Lots of time effort and detail went into his project.
I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

It's a long journey back Mark, but you will make it.

That's awesome! and i hope this therapy is helping him. and it looks like it is too!

I just watched the "making of Band of Brothers" the other night and was amazed how they re-created some of the footage.

Tom Hanks is a world war 2 buff and along with Steven Spielberg produced "Saving Private Ryan" also.

You never know who will be the next Great mind helping the film industry.

My best wishes to Mark.
