I agree....Great paint job.....
Kickstarter money went to buying the plane kits, some extra "Stuff" to complete the kits not included in World Models offering., Shipping costs and....who knows. I do know that the minimum order was for 500 planes and the $45,000 was just barely going to cover all the basic needs. The Kickstarter supporters orders would be filled easily leaving about half of the planes left as profit for the venture. World Models did not offer for us to pay for the moulds so we would own or control them. I know because that was one of my main concerns for NOT going and using World Models to do the planes in the first plance. Instead of having that control over the product or project, they just offered at a much higher price the basic kits. So if you see another plane that is not a Cyclops or Techpod but looks like this a great deal, you may have a good idea from where it came from. The initial milestone of the $45,000 goal was not going to even get met until Waynes "Family" chipping in $15,000 to get it over the goal line or it would have been a bust and nothing would have happened. You may ask; How does he know this? Wayne told me...that's how. But it is all good....you guys have your planes and Wayne has his dream fulfilled and we are all off and on to our next projects. I will have my Cyclops on display at the Beijing Model Expo in April and planes will be selling by that time. Cheers. |
