That all sounds fantastic.
I don't want to speak for everyone else, but like I said earlier I think the more the merrier!
One thing I would say, and that its that I think we need to make sure the creator has the actual kit part in front of them, whether they scan it or sculpt it. I don't think any amount of picture reference, or even basic dimensions, can replace being able to put calipers on the actual piece. I don't think we should be confusing things with 'best guess' models...I think there could possibly be disagreements with even the most accurate copies as it is!
I don't know what the best way of 'cataloguing' these is ( I'm just going to edit my 2nd post as I add stuff), but I just hope it doesn't get hard to find the kit you want, or if the part has been done. But I think multiple versions of the same part, or in lots of different file formats, isn't a problem, it's just about trying to keep it useful and accessible.
