ssculptor Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Now here is a manufacturer who has his cohones in the right place. Hooray for HPH He is bringing out 1/32 kits of airplanes which may not be too popular and I, for one, will probably buy all or most of them. He is not hiding in a corner and whining that if it is not an already popular model he will not produce another, unnecessary version of it. I still say that the old model companies were started and controlled by guys for whom this was an extension of their hobby. They were making models as a labor of love. Granted these resin kits are short run and do not involve the investment of large quantities of money for the dies, etc. But still, look at the early 1/32 kits produced by Hasegawa, Revell, Monogram,Williams Brothers, etc. They took chances back then and their companies are still in operation. Today manufacturers? Piffle. But this whole argument will become obsolete in the next ten years as 3D printers go down in cost and up in quality. In ten years or maybe less one can take a 1/72 or 1/48 scale model, scan it with the new low cost scanners, put the file into a low cost - high quality 3D printer and get a 1/32 version of the smaller kit. Then we can have almost all the models we want. What's that you say? It is illegal to make copies that way? Not if you are making one for your own pleasure and not quantities for sale for profit. But it is immoral you might insist. Awwww, too bad. Then you must go to bed without your supper. David66 and KiwiZac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good on HpH for providing some really interesting subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
