I tried that about a quarter century ago. Some friends indicated that there was a need for a simple brass kit for a Vanderbilt tender. Cutting the brass, pressing rivets, and packing the box took around two hours, plus maybe ten bucks of brass. Offered them at $75 each. No takers.

We simply cannot compete with Chinese labor.

I could, too, but there are easier ways to make $575. And way more fun ways!

It only costs a nickel a year, to live in China. I recently read that, to pay the rent in Los Angeles, one needs to earn close to $50/hour. That's why a shoe shine costs fifty-six million dollars.

There's nothing wrong with American labor. We can do anything the Chinese can, and more. We come up with new things, and new ways to do things. The Chinese steal this technology like Pakleds, and sell it back to us. The problem is Republicans. John McCain, the last good Republican, is dead. The remainder need to be immediately deported to Auschwitz, God damn them. :evil: Does that sound a bit uncivil? Well, conservative asssholes have been waging total war against liberalism and progressivism for forty years, now. A war of annihilation. There's been nothing civil about it.

Yes, but I won't. I wouldn't give a dead sewer rat's ***, for such a model.

Congratulations. You just made the list.
Always nice to know when you're dealing with a left-wing, communist-inspired, socialist trained liberal.

Probably could. Not particularly interested in doing that either.

It's a limited appeal item that would be a little out of place and era near my layout and modeling interests. That 8 are planned tends to corroborate that as well.

I'm not socialist trained, nor communist inspired. My father was an oil company executive, and my mother rammed Christianity down my throat from the git-go. I grew up in Whittier, which is Nixon's home town. One of my childhood friends was a Nixon. Reagan was our governor, before he was president. So, I know your mindset, inside out. It stinks. What, in hell, is wrong with you? Get off your lazy ***, and take a God-damned philosophy class!

Roy,
McCain went from war hero to traitor of the American people. Just like Kerry and Romney. The instigators of the so called Russian Collusion is now under investigation and your buddies Comey, McCabe, and the rest of the ilk are headed for prison. :lol:

Who the hell do you think you're kidding? You hate. We all do. The important thing, is to hate the right things.
