i was thinking youve all seen at car shows models of cars identical to the real thing right like on the dash or w/e... i was thinking about taking some models to a show a wide verity of old school and new and any one who wanted one for there car i would snap a shit load of pics of it on the digi camra and getting alot of contacts like there email aol s/n home phone cell phone and house # this way i could email them pics of how its going and when its done send it to them or deliver it...has any one tried this before and is so how did it work out

i use to do that all the time when i was real big into models..i just recently got started into them again..make sure your real good...because you can make alot bank with them

 

[ryans97s10]

cool thats what i wanted to hear..did u have any bad experinces? such as making a model and they did want it when it was finnished and how much did u ushally charge any awnsers would be great thanks alot :thumbsup:

 

[Joker808]

i charged on how detailed they wanted...if you are only person at the show with models..you can make alot more...i only had a couple people not come through with the money..so i just kept it or resold...most time i would just make models of local cars that are always at the shows...then they will normaly approach you...with cash...alot of them will pay anything for it..even if it slightly looked like there ride...i would actauly have to tell alot people no on my personal collection...u can easly make 50 to 250 for the model,and how detailed you you make it...when you take there orders...write everything they want down..so they cant say .."well this isnt how i wanted it" its the ballers you dont have to worry about stiffing you on money...

cool man thanks for the info it was well needed

might be a really good idea to get at least half the money in advance so you dont end up stuck with any of them at the end.
but then again getting money in advance from a stranger is a challenge in its own. i know i wouldnt just walk up to you at a car show and go "ok, here ya go man" lol

yeah i know man, i was just putting the thought out there for you.

i know some of my models i end up with a couple hundred bucks tied up in them just in material, thats not counting my time involved. i think that is ALOT to get stuck with unless you was wanting it for yourself anyways. lol
