For you model builders.....

[Jarhead0331]

At first thought, I wonder why I would play this...  When I was young, I loved building real models.

But on second thought, maybe not a bad idea. The problem with models for me is that after I have built one, what do I do with it?

This seems to solve that problem.

Sell 'em on eBay - that's what I do.

I think I've made circa £500 selling the models I made. I had no idea there would be a market for it - after all, for me, the enjoyment is in the creation.

But people will buy them (no idea if they were individuals or people working for museums or something - Bovington Tank Museum in the UK has a HUGE collection of models made by people).

If I recall, yours were quite good. Working on anything now?

Thank you. There are some amazing modellers out there.

I'm working on this we baby



But - it's been slow going. I've been focussing on playing Fields of Fire.

Selling models on eBay couldn't be a business. Not for me anyway. I normally didn't make the cost of the model back, let alone paints etc. But - it depended on the subject matter.

But it saved trying to find space to put them. I didn't need them around - I enjoyed building and painting them. I was happy for someone else to pay to have them. It was my daughter that suggested I sell them...I had no idea there'd be a market for built and painted models - go figure

^That's a really interesting build. Don't see lots of those around. Hope you'll post some progress photos!

try Luft46.com and youll see why US airplanes developed the way they did in the late 40s and 50s.

I'm interested but that site has an encryption error (in Chrome).

This is what I get on Firefox : Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to luft46.com.

Will do - but I warn you - it's slooooow going. I've lost my model making mojo at the moment.

I'll post updates in the modelling forum

I refuse to believe that. Next thing you'll tell us is there's no real Easter Beaver.

weird, I get none of that.  I used to use that site all the time for model building.
the site hasnt been updated in forever so Im guessing its certificates are way out of date.
