Re: 1/6 Scale Trinity Urn (Miami)
Hey guys,
Just got a reply from the same people painting the slide boxes and they are willing to work on this project with painting the urns. The only caveat is that because of the 1/6 scale, the finished piece will be close, but may not be 100% accurate because there are many, many flowers at many sizes. Outside of buying a replica and sending it to Moscow, there is no way for them to see how the pattern wraps every curve. Me personally I am fine with it being close but I wanted opinions.
They are saying the price would be in the $60-$70 range. I will not have final kit prices until I see the new quote after I revise the model. Expect it to be in the slide box kit ballpark since it's 3 somewhat intricate, separate prints per unit.
So here is the point we are at.
1) I need to refine the model to get the scale issue corrected and have a new sample printed.
2) I would prefer to not have Max commit to a paint order of less than 5 pieces. At 5 or more the western union fees, shipping and return shipping fees are all shared and make this less painful on our pocketbooks.
3) Are folks going to want to see a painted sample prior?
I think I know the answer, but just know that having a one off proto ordered, shipped overseas, painted, shipped back, post photos, order more prints for SSF members, ship them, paint them, ship them back, then me ship to you is going to be a very, very long window of time.
So your opinions would be appreciated.
I just don't want to start down this road if there is not enough interest to get this going.
Thoughts?
