IMHO.... i believe, that real modeling is a hobby, once you start selling your stuff for money, it becomes a job. i do this for fun, beacuse i know my work will never be good enough for "retail quality". i really just like to do it for fun. But hay, if someone wanted to make a model for cash, i would do it, but they better not expect perfection, and there would not be a deadline. and if they wanted one of my models, the better fork over the cash.... beacuse alot of those models mean a lot to me beacuse i put my heart into them.
also another thing, why buy model airplanes built by hand by someone ells for? really honestly, i find more joy in building them myself and hanging them up on my sealing, than having someone make it for me, true story. Heck i could have asked one of you guys to make my Ace Of Spades P-51 and it probably would have turned out better, but i wanted to build it myself, and it brings me great happiness to see my work of art.
once again, this is just my humble opinion.
