IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no market for a kit of this magnitude and complexity. It is a one of a kind that probably has over 1,000 hours of labor into it.


Before long, you will be able to use a 3D printer for this tedious complexity.

Yeah, but… So what? (no disrespect intended!)

To do this kind of "tedious complexity" BY HAND, and in a medium not normally associated with models of this level is what's amazing.

Not quite sure about that.

What about the SD-14. Close to 200 sheets, comes in 6 cartons and 7 feet long. Maybe the interior is not as detailed but comes close. Some people buy it and build it. I've got one and will build it eventually.

Guys

I'm talking about commercial viability. This is not a challenge or a dare or your personal goal.




How many kits can possibly be sold of this?

What is the market for it? Who will purchase it? Who will build it?

How much will it cost?

Who will pay for it?

Shouldn't the designer be compensated for his time?


How about a quick study?

Even if 50 kits are sold at $200 each that will not cover the printing cost, shipping cost and never mind profits.


If the design is offered via a PDF file, who will print hundred of pages. The cost of the cardstock and printer in alone will cost hundreds $$





Again, I admire the superb work done in this design. It is spectacular. He may share it with you all, but making money??????????????????????


For those talking about this as a possible money maker, all I can say is : "Show me the money "
