Have you considered offering some at a reduced rate to the gift shops of museums to sell so they can raise funds? Just an idea…
Tried that.
When I originally had the idea of producing this print I contacted a number of museums – including the NASM, who own this aeroplane. They, like many others were very interested – but when samples of the finished print were posted to around 20 museums across America – they all changed there mind.
The quality of the print is excellent – no problems there, but it appears that they had all spent that year’s budget. I still have 800 copies left and the printer wants paying.
Lessons learnt?
I was going to write a list of lessons learnt and observations made, but I don’t want to be flamed by our American cousins. Let’s just say, I’m not going to produce anything directed at the American market.
Very few make a living out of our hobby. If you think of an idea – no doubt its been done before. Oh, I’ve also tried ebay – no luck, when your feedback rating is 2 or 3.
Enough ranting – time for din dins.
