Re: Colt 1911 officers .45 ACP

To say it's impressive is a bit of an understatement.

Re: Colt 1911 officers .45 ACP

I had a look around a few on line card model stores in the UK and estimate the following. (Excl P&P for printed models).

PDF Download: £0.99 to £5.00

Small Model: £5.00 to 15.00 (Simple planes/cars/tanks)

Med Size Model: £10.00 to £20.00 (Large scale planes/tanks/small boats)

Large Size Model £15.00 to £30.00 (Complex models/large ships)

These are UK prices and I'm sure you can get the same models cheaper from Europe thanks to the exchange rate at the moment.

As a download I would put your gun in the higher end at £4.50, but if you include a front cover, some nice instructions and gun history it would easily bump into the small model bracket at around £9.99 for PDF. If you add an option of an alternate handle grip, a few bullets and a loaded mag option no reason for this gun to sell for £14.99 PDF. If it was printed at this level I would move to the med bracket for £19.99.

The above in no way reflects the time and effort you have put into this project, only you can put a price on that.

1:1 guns seem in demand, request pop up on a regular basis back at zealots for links to 1:1 guns. A model of this quality available at ecardmodels will have them lined up in the virtual street to get a copy.

Cheers JTF

nothing.

I now have you model ready to print.

What paper would you suggest? 110 gsm looks about right.

Cheers JTF
