I also agree with your initial formulation., Diderick.
However, there are after-market items that can also help the industry, just like plastic modelers do... barrels, laser-cuts, wheels, canopies... even photo etched parts. But again, and to kill my own statement, those are made by anybody else, and not the designer himself.
It is a complex matter, but it has to evolve.

I do trend to treat my printed copies as more "eye candy art" as opposed to something that is destroyed buy my amatuerish attempts at building a model.

I totally hear you, John (I thought I was the only odd guy who wanted to buy 2 copies of a model to save one for posterity!
)... or like Isaac (you almost have a whole store there, my friend!)
Let's keep on cutting paper, and make little works of art supporting our friends who publish and sell models.
