Upcoming models

The subscription is for 50 models. Once you hit 50, it ends. You can add existing models to it, but also remember this is for future models as well. I don't know how long it'll take to put out 50 new models. The way my life goes, I could put out 50 in the next 6 months, or in the next 6 years.

(I have been seriously designing since 2005, and, between Fiddlersgreen, Oddball Productions, and Murph's models, I have a total of 410 models I've designed. That averages out to about 40 models a year)

That's easy, just design, for example, a B747 with as many markings as possible. You'll hit 50 in no time at all. Take a look at other designers who make numerous versions of their work. You never know how hot they will be.

I usually get bored after a few versions and want to move on to the next model. It's the designing that interests me, not the markings.

OK, have it your way and I'll say no more in this regard. But what a pity to see if you can make 3 different liveries out of your 33 repaints at the moment, you could have released 99 models! Then you'll get bored counting the dough.

...3 different liveries each out of your 33 repaints ..... I meant this.

Not to keep beating the dead horse, but the 737 is the worlds most popular commercial jet, you really
could be bringing in the dough if you designed the other versions and made maybe 3-4 liveries for each version.

There are other 737 models out there already for free. Just Google Boeing 737 paper model.

That's why I chose the -200 version

I know, but in regards to the other models, and like papermate said, you should start doing more versions and recolors.

I'm an Engineer, not an Artist. I can design a model of an airplane and make it look ok, then throw on a basic set of markings, and hope people like it. I can handle basic stuff, but anything fancy is beyond my abilities.

Right now, I'm working on the Breda Ba.88.

This is what I was shooting for:


Giving up after 2 days of working on it, this is what I finally ended up with:



That's why I put up the Repainters Nook. For those who like to repaint and have better skills at it than me.

So far, in the years I've been offering unmarked models for repainters to do, I've gotten maybe 5 or 6 repaints back in, mostly from 2 or 3 members.


Ideally, what I'd love to do is have a dedicated repainter. Somebody who can whip out a dozen different versions in a short amount of time, and either build them, or send them back so I can send them off to be beta built. We could work out some form of payment.
