Reply to "ERIE DUNMORE STEEL CABOOSE PROJECT - Scratchbuilding, with a laser"

I am with Jim.  Producing kits is a giant loser unless you are talking thousands with an assembly line.  I tried a "kit" Vanderbilt tender - ten dollars worth of brass, two hours of labor cutting, drilling, and packaging.  I made three, and kept one.

The offer I made was "build it and critique it, or return it, or send me $75".  I thought that was fair.  That was when $75 bought more than one tank of gas.

If you have the bucks to get Malcolm to assemble a kit, then you have the bucks to have him make it from scratch.  I get the feeling that assembly is about 80% of his workload.  I don't build in plastic, so that is unfounded opinion.
