Need a builder for Ken's X-15 (pre printed model provided free of charge)

OK - I am venturing into new territory and a lot hinges on this in regards to my (and possibly others) future direction.

I am working with an very nice person related to someone here on the forums. He has been in the offset printing industry for about 12 years. He is going to be sending me a proof of kens X-15 printed on a digital offset printer. After I verify the quality myself I need someone to build it.

This person must meet a few requirements:
1. You must have already built kens X-15 or are willing to build it at the same time. I want comparisons of the digital offset print compared to your own printout.
2. You must be willing to put this at the top of your priority list as I need it done in fairly short order. I do not expect you to alter your life to do it just be willing to work on it now
3. You must have built AT LEAST one pre printed kit from a major publisher, the more of these you have built from different publishers the better. Also the more recent the published model the better.
4. I need a build thread done so I can follow how it goes. You must give commentary on various points throughout - good or bad. Think things like paper weight, does it form/cut well compared to other kits. Is it an appropriate weight etc. For the ink does it hold up well to bending or does it tend to flake like laser prints. (dont pre spray the paper as most people prolly dont do that) how does it compare to the home printed kit.

If you are interested please respond here. Just because you are first does not mean you will get it I would like to know your qualifications above please. I will pick the person I want to build this. It is rather important to me as it could amount to a rather sizable investment....
Thanks!
Chris
