Blogs and Statements

[edit]

In KitBash3D’s “Behind the Kit” features, he discussed his work and artistic preferences. For the Iron Forge kit, Fahrbach said “My favorite part of working on the Kit was the interesting architecture. It was really fun to get to work on something... quite enjoyable to try something different out.”.[12] He also noted that the Crypt model, was the favorite thing he built whilst he was working on the kit.[12] These quotes give a sense of his interests and collaborative attitude.

On Timo's art station and social media, it is seen that he occasionally posts his W.I.P images and also short comments, but there's no widely published resources or magazine interviews found. The above KitBash blogs are the main sources of his own statements.
