I was just wondering do any of you guys build models as a job? If so whats the best and worst part of the job?

Some folks on this site(KFMagee, for example) do professional modelling AFAIK.

However, I'm not one of this pack. I model strictly for myself. Don't have the time to go and make models off an assembly line ! Have a pretty demanding day job, and I model just to unwind, mostly on weekends.

The best part would be the money and admiration, I guess. The worst part would be having nightmares about not having made a perfect model every time LOL!!!

Cheers,
BP.

Since I started, I build models as part of my life and no one can take it away from me

I don't - there are some who do - quite a few commission type jobs.

General Question - has anyone seen the VP one page add in the latest FSM mag. Is the skeleton Gordy's??? It looks like it.

It said that the skeleton was cast or scuplted or something by a Gordy guy, with last name starting with an S.
I saw it on some website that had VP stuff.

I don't think I'ld want my recreation to become my vocation. Heard that years ago from a boy scout leader when he was asked if he wanted to go to work for the BSA.
