So I'm sitting here thinking about my Space Shuttle...potential market, or bad idea?
The Shuttle toy that comes on the machine....Ed Cheung did a translucent one that looked pretty cool, but even just seeing that NOS one I bid on a while back go for 170$ got me thinking...
Vaccum table is 150$. Plastic to make these is almost negligible. I have the know-how to make a form using the one I have, and sculpt to correct the physical flaws with the one I have. I don't have the know-how to purchase all the wire and fiddly bits and get it all put together, so bascially I'd just be selling the plastic shell, POSSIBLY some pre-painted ones.
Sound like something I could feasibly recoup my money on? I'm not looking to make a fortune but it's something I would like to give a shot just for my own personal skills development, and I think it's something I could pull off small-scale without having to get a third party involved. Any thoughts?
I wouldn't be thinking of even doing this for a few months at least, but kind of trying to think long term to budget.
