It keeps a man alife. Perhaps we should have published it after all. 🙂 Mr Hoving, I respectfully believe you should offer your unique creative efforts as a limited edition booklet. Small runs of high-quality printing can be produced by a number of vendors who specialize in these publications. Publishing your work as a hardcover, tangible physical asset would likely not be the most profitable venture, but something tells me this wouldn't be the primary motivation by yourself or your son. I'm also reasonably confident there is also a small market outside of this unique forum that would be interested in acquiring a physical copy of your creative works were it available. Please give my suggestion some further thought.

shipman Posted August 28, 2022 Share #22 Posted August 28, 2022 There you go, praise indeed. Along with your models, your little book project are testaments to be proud of. No doubt our appreciation and encouragement could persuade you to develop and expand the book; it would be a sad state of affairs if you don't go ahead and produce hard copies. hollowneck, mtaylor, Ab Hoving and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab Hoving Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share #23 Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Hello Hollowneck and Shipman, Thank you for your generous advice. As a matter of facts we did order a few dozens of hard copies of the booklet, just to serve as presents for family and friends. People order such one time books at companies to see their holiday pictures in print. Does that mean we will put it on the market after all? No, the printing costs are relatively high and will at least be doubled by postage and packing. Even if there is no fee for the makers, it still is too expensive for an occasional purchase and it will bring a lot of work for us. We can spend our time in a more useful way. So we publish it online and hope people enjoy it as much as we did making it. We even go further than that. We have sent people the digital file of the picture of their choice and many have printed them on perspex to hang on their walls. Here is one in my own house: Thank you all for your positive feedback!

Marcus mtaylor 1 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).
