I have followed your work and have to say that you have made some very interesting models. Granted, I have not built any of them yet do to other projects that I am currently testing for another designer (as well as a few that I have been meaning to do for quite a while now), but none the less you do produce very interesting models.

Now to give you my thoughts on your questions.

1) What constitutes an acceptable model?

(Like everyone has said before) A model that is build able and does not need to be tweaked or altered to "MAKE"the parts fit properly.


2) What is an appropriate scale, or size? (I will not put out tiny models).

It really depends on the subject of the model, and really what you feel comfortable with for that model in question.

3) What file type is most acceptable?

It seems that the most common (and acceptable) file types are PDF, PDO, and JPEG
I personally prefer PDF and JPEG files, but I can use PDO (even though I really do not like PDO).
I would stick with those three

4) What File size is appropriate?

I think that really depends mostly on the amount of texture detail that you want in your models. Like what was mentioned earlier, you would not want to make a 200 meg toaster model.
If you have a very detailed model (i.e.) the Galactica, then you would want to use a higher file size to add the detail.

You are an intelligent person, use your own judgement in this case.

5) How detailed should directions be? I've went so far as to create step by step directions and create movies showing exactly how to build something and still people complain....????

A general step by step is good as well as paying a little more attention to any tricky or difficult parts that may need extra attention.

Also have someone test your models for any problems that need to be fixed before release.

Just remember one thing, in the end you always have the final say as to how your models will turn out.
If someone does not like your work and can not point out a legitimate problem with your model (i.e. parts not fitting properly, file incomplete, or what ever else), then they do not need to build your models.

In closing, I would just like to say, I look forward to seeing more of your work and good luck with all that you do.
