Request For Business

Two items:

1) Since I released the 10-by-70 inch Saturn V print, several people have inquired into getting a full-scale version of the print (as presented it’s about 1/3 the size of the original blueprint). The print shop that does these for me says they can do that, no sweat. It will require re-scanning the original at a higher resolution and some more tinkering… and it’ll cost substantially more to print. Based on what I’m hearing from the print shop, I’m looking at a price in the range of $200 for a print 36 inches wide by about 254 inches long (three feet by about 21.7 feet) . Before I take the plunge (I really can’t afford to stock items like this unless I know they’re gonna sell), I’m looking for interested parties. I’m not looking for payment just now (I need to do a partial test run to make sure the quality is up to code), but I am looking for people who would definitely be interested. Those who sign up now (by commenting in the affirmative below) will get 10% off whatever the final price winds up being. Keep in mind, there won’t be a whole lot of these made, so it’ll definitely be a collectors item.

2) And on the topic of “not a whole lot made” and “collectors item,” I’m also looking for people who’d be interested in a large-ish scale finished display model of Project Pluto. I had two signed up for a 1/48 version at $500, which was just enough to go ahead; but before I went ahead and told the prototyping shop to stereo-lith the parts, one customer backed out. So I’m looking for at least one more who’s interested for a Pluto/SLAM at 1/48 or larger (1/40 would put it in scale with other display models of the period, such as the Topping X-15).
