Have you given any thought to allowing someone else to pick up the building/
selling of your model kits?

--Todd

Knowing what I now know about how rare some of the parts are in my kits, I
wouldn't wish that task on anyone. I doubt TLG would be interested in licensing
my designs (especially when they could just steal them outright... if they could
them past the marketing department's price guidlines) and I doubt anyone else
would have the time and money to carry on with my kits.  There's nothing like
spending $600 in sets to get the parts needed to build a kit that sells for less
than $200!  I think I'll be happy just to make my instructions available on a
low price CD-ROM and let the fellow enthusiast do the leg work finding the
parts!
