Really, there must be some way to access the huge general market of N scalers out there. I'm sure you could sell way more of these. Also wondering about an aftermarket where somebody takes your models, paints them and adds window glass, glue them it together to sell as finished. Probably w/ all the labor involved they'd wind up priced at $45-50 each, tho.  :D :trollface:

Looks like I'll need to get some of your latest '30s models. It sure takes a lot of vehicles to make even a small '50s downtown look busy and not like 1 a.m on Sunday. I'll probably have as many vehicles as I have home road rolling stock!

I dread having to buy and install the crowds I need. :scared:

I keep telling him that I'm ready to help when he wants to figure out how to sell them on the Dark Web, which I assume is the only place it'd be safe to online.

But for now, I love the fact that you've gotta "know a guy".

THIS!
PLEASE- no mass production at 3 times the price until I buy all the 40s-50s vehicles I need. Which has to wait until I recover financially from replacing the roof and buying 2 (1:1 scale) cars in the past 2 years... And finish some of the Rasputen cars and busses in my half-done project box.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

I would venture a guess that rasputen does not want this part of his hobby to become a real full time  business.  He is probably quite happy with the low volume sales. But that is just my guess.

Lol, just heard this for the first time today: https://open.spotify.com/track/1AlDa4Cn86XcUrTFgxkJI8?si=28679e3195504818
You clearly weren't around in the late 1970s.  It was (briefly) ubiquitous.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Lol, no sir, I'm an early product of 1982.

For those that haven’t ordered yet, these are beautiful.  Great service, quick shipping. And, I got so excited I painted one right away when I should have been doing 20 other things to prepare for RPM Chicagoland this weekend!

I just sent you a pm for my first order. Looking forward to some of these!
Do you have any plans to do some earlier stuff? Ford model A or T's? I would love to have some earlier vehicles.

I don't think I would be able to make decent castings of cars like a Model T, with spoked wheels, thin fenders, and headlights that are hung out in space.

I’ve been looking at your posts for years now but have so far failed to act. It’s time. Do you have a website and product list?
