I'm not even sure how to calculate what it costs to design a model. Most of the software I use is decades old, and acquired for free. If I calculate cost of labor... That depends on how long the model takes to design. The Stephensons Rocket I'm working on has taken a month so far, working about an hour a day average (some days get no work, some get several hours, depending on my energy levels). So at minimum wage of $18 an hour, that's about $540, plus cost of paper glue and ink for several beta builds, so round up to $600. Sell it for $10, get 3 or 4 sold before the pirates hit, and I don't even break even.
