Cousins,
I've been giving some serious thought to going full time with modelling and casting, not least because it's something I'd like to try before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Now I know I'm not the best modeller around, nor the best caster, but I try my best and so I think there's room for another "bloke in a shed" set up.
My biggest concern is the original funding, so I've been thinking about using a crowd funder - not for a specific project rather than to get me going. I thought instead of offering goodies I might offer nominations and votes for each £x pledged, as in someone funds me and can then nominate a model they'd like to see produced, with all funders having a vote on say the final half a dozen models to actually be realised. I'd back this up with discounted models from the existing range for all funders, so if none of the voted for models appealed, something could be be bought.
I'd be interested in hearing opinions on this, or other related ideas.
Thanks in anticipation.
