The main thing I look at when designing a model is what kind of reaction it causes with me. If I look at a plane, and the first thing I think is "Cooooooooooool!" Then there's a good chance I'm gonna design it.
If other people happen to want to buy it, all the better. Like someone once said, "when your hobby becomes work, time to find another hobby." As for time... this is my hobby, it's supposed to waste time. If I really get into a model, I can go from blank screen to finished card model in 2 days. I ask what planes people want to see designed not to see what's popular, but so I get pictures of cool planes. Every once in a while, I see one that gets the above response. Other times, I get a "Meh, it looks just like every other plane made in that period. Zzzz..." response. That's why I called it "Oddball Productions", not "Just Like Every Other Designer Productions" *Falls off soapbox while waving arms wildly* Last edited by murphyaa; 07-28-2011 at 03:15 PM. |

Hmm. That came off as a bit too pompous. Vote me for President in 2012.
Seriously, That's how I choose models to design. It's nice if they turn out to be popular, but that's just the frosting on the cake. (Now I'm hungry for cake) |

B-45 or RB-45 now that's one that you will not find just anywhere!
Murph...... I sure hope it throws a hankering on you! john |

That one struck the "Coool" nerve a while ago. It's just waiting for my skills to improve a little.

Prowler in NON-Stanard Camo
I know the EA-6B Prowler isn't the most exotic or unusual aircraft BUT I've only seen in paper once from GPM not a simple or quick build.
Plus I did find this interesting looking paint schemes. Personally the Retro 1944-45 and the Red White & Blue are the prettiest.

I see it as telling it like it is. Not beating around the bush. Not sugar coating the reality just to spare some hurt feelings. Sometimes I get criticized for being blunt...maybe even "mean" but thats not whats its about...thats generally just a misunderstanding. Theres no point in doing what others want if it doesn't please you. And theres every reason to do what satisfies you regardless of outside interest. This is not a bash at anyone else who has posted here, I just found it very refreshing to see Murph stand up and tell it like it is. Its great that others get involved and share the input, but ultimately its a case of doing what makes you happy the most. Good thread everyone!!

I stopped designing for Fiddlersgreen because there were too many restrictions, requirements and regulations. Every model had to be designed a certain way, every page had to look just right, and it had to be done within a certain time period. And I didn't get to choose the models. If I can't get into a model, I don't get the little bits of inspiration at 2am that helps me figure out how to make a certain piece work.
Speaking of that "Coool" effect, I saw a movie of one of these in action, and had to get it started. |

I've said ti before, and I'll say it again. If you decide to do the B-45/ RB-45, let me know. I can get you as many walk-around pictures (maybe even interior) as you want.
