I think you've found a nice 'niche', as your models surely must have a good demand. I don't know of course, but I would think that such modeling is fairly rare. I'm thinking that model airplane building has probably fallen away from the popularity that it once had, but maybe I'm wrong in that respect. Surely I don't see the kind of model availability that there once was.
Even in my teen years, I was somewhat in the minority of model builders at the time. Most kids who were into 'modeling' were into cars. While not necessarily easier to build, I think more people could relate to them better; and Lord knows, they were a lot easier to display than model airplanes, as the latter just wouldn't fit well on a shelf (I would hang mine from the ceiling of my bedroom, where my mother would it find it absolutely necessary to knock one or two down on occasion as she dusted.
Today, I'm thinking anyone who might want a model of their helo or fixed-wing would be sort of hard-pressed to find one, especially if they want the exact model of a craft that they own or are taking lessons on.
Keep up the great work,

I don't mention the use of rubbish wood to make these a lot as once they are fabricated you can't tell.
. I also like restoring toro snow throwers too cwsmith. Wood shop was limited back in my day and meant to prepare you for tool use. Bird houses were the only kits furnished ,or in a good class you measured following the plans and cut all the project components. I'm here to show some flickers of what one guy does for shop time. My choice of paint is different Acrylic low VOC "fumes" There are other project ideas I may try while I'm here too. I'm in my 50's so yes there are many more things for a man my age to do,and puts me in the minority of model enthusiasts but we all have things we never gave up. I have a good balance in my life marriage, leisure time, was important more than partying. My wife and CFO like the cost pert unit of each model. I'm glad to see there is an interest. The guy who built his daughters hope chest has a niche with his attention to fine detail and finish as well. Limited edition "durables " are sought after. This trio is an aid to plot out a much larger display .
