Ditto here too John. I prefer to (eventually) build them myself. Still there is a market for built models.

Maybe that is something that needs cultivating... I see an opportunity - a built model gallery sort of thing... What would a collector pay for an original Hirve or Morgan perhaps? (Mine of course would be found in the Not Quite Right Bargain Basement).

As you say John If I was a built models collector I wouldn't be buying those unless the photo quality improved 100%. Plus I'm not sure of his prices. I know the SAMI's he's also selling are a tad over priced given that similar collections are often available here at swapmeets for around $50.00AUD. Maybe Romani's helping out a mate perhaps?

Cheers

Neil
