JC Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Are you thinking of building one of these?? I think it would be a good seller if you could get the detail and sell it at an affordable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewingale Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 Im thinking about it, but as you know F-P it takes sometimes months from an idea to a decent model. I like making models but they have to have a bit of detail, and making them affordable is a challenge in its self. I have got a soft spot for the rotaflail though it was a very flexible bit of kit in the seventies. Are you the guy who makes the JF Forager? whether you are or not I thought that was a good looking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 PDC makes the JF. Its a fine balance between making a detailed model and an affordable one, for a model to be a succesfull seller it needs both of those qualities. My ploeger harvester could have had a lot more detail but if you had wanted to buy one it wpould have cost two or three times as much, I was glad to sell as many as I did of those so in a way I feel I got the balance right with that one. If you can make one for around ?40 I think you will be half way there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
