Are these kits you put together or did you buy them pre-made?
They look very realistic.
I always liked the look of the original series blasters.

These are kits that have to be put together .There is ALOT of resin clean up and puttying to do with all of these kits !!!!

These look great for what they are - homemade reproductions. The paint on them is excellent, Kenny! I'd hate to fill a lot of imperfections. It's bad enough that I do it with my own models, I'd really hate to pay for someone elses' and be forced to do the same thing.

That's one thing you shouldn't have to do - repair a lot of mistakes where whoever mastered the kit didn't do a perfect job. My take on it is this:

If you're going to sell a product to the general public, especially without a license, I'd think you'd want to ensure the highest quality possible. There's no keeping out other competitors without a patent, and if they can sell a better quality version with better customer service, other people will be drawn to them. Case in point - Mike Salzo. So you'll have to earn your reputation for "correcting your wrongs", and making a better product that anyone else out there if you want to stay in business, especially if someone else is selling the exact same thing. This makes for a hostile environment when selling two of the same thing, especially when recasting is such a problem!
