[wolfkill]

  wow!!! well done ,great can wait

[MODman]

This building will eventually be made up of four main sections this addition (the right section) being the smallest

[Verderer]

That looks rather fantastic!  

Any other scales in plans?

[Sangennaru]

wow... =) Great job! (don't worry , i'll answer your email soon! =))

[MODman]

28mm scale first then i will downsize to 15-20mm, but we are talking a month or two think for other scales

[Verderer]

Good to hear, these would be so useful for so many settings. Good things come to those who wait...

[MODman]

the first set fresh out of the mold, i could do with you brain feed guys on pricing.



i'll get the glue out later and make a section so you can see it how its meant to look

the middle section you see is angled at 45 degrees to give an angled corner to the piece and was inspired by

[Skrapwelder]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[Sangennaru]

wo-hoo!

Pricing is an hard question: this building is far from being ready to play, on the other side i don't think there is something else this huge on the market! =)

[Bubbles]

I think regular pricing for stuff is like how much it costs plus 10 percent but its really up to you. if your just trying to get people to have some really nice terrain just charge the cost it took to make the buildings or if your a business tycoon charge a 40 percent mark up or some other nonsense.

I don't understand, what do you mean with "how much it costs"?

production cost ?

[FramFramson]

Yeah, I would start by figuring out your production costs to start with (time + materials, including wear & tear on molds), then see what the price is and figure out what sort of premium/multiplier best balances "fair price" and "actually earning an acceptable return".

The definition of acceptable is of course up to you.

[Bubbles]

I reckon just charge enough so that you can pay for the supplies and churn out some other brilliant looking terrain

[Sangennaru]

well, i think that the fair price should be considered compared with the marked firstly. if i see a piece i consider his price related with the other options around, and i really don't care about the condiction of the sculptor and the producer! =)

Beside of that, if you are a home-caster, you can think to sell a limited number of casts of a product (20-30, not 2000!). So 10% is quite low, because IF the sale goes as you expected you will earn 3 times the price of the product. that's quite few, isn't it? =)

Bubbles, casting is a pain, expecially for a sculptor. And the sculpt you do has a value, which is pretty high. He might not be a tycoon, but still he might want to earn some money from his work!
