well i know no one really in the GK market does plastic kits, but i am also looking at it as a one time investment on a lot of things i know i want (changed over) and don't have to bother with spending time setting up forms, pouring rubber, waitng a day, then prepping for the second half of the mold, pour rubber and wait another day to pull them apart, and then let them sit a few days to air out of residues that could make for a messy first few castings (or bake them for a few minutes, but that can make the over smell a bit and make my mother a bit pissed). pretty much i'm paying for convenience, ready to go molds and product. with just the sci-fi kits, I have over 60 kits i produce (i forget the parts break down but it was a 200+). i reached the point (about a year ago) where i can't keep up with everything, and going this route is about my only (practical) way out. then when i start doing tank stuff, that item list is going to take off and unless i have a plan of how to stay ahead of it, i might as well start looking for a padded room to check into. when i set up for molds, i can spend a day or two on them alone as i may have up to 15 forms to get ready or a few large parts. that's a day or two i could spend casting or injecting or both. I know this is going to be a very costly venture, but it's one i'm willing to take. Chris
