As I am midway through a maxwell house tin build of the Audrey plant, I thought I'd test the waters to see if it would be worth making a small run of the plant parts and also a replica maxwell house tin. I'm thinking as a rough guide (give or take 15 quid depending on how long it takes to build each one and how easy it will be to make/buy artificial vines ) I was going to offer:
1) *the kit, (unpainted, unbuilt, with all parts to make the plant (head, leaves, stem, vines and spanish moss) apart from the maxwell house tin) for £60 plus shipping,
2)*the unbuilt model with a replica tin (as it stands currently, i have the correct size tubing cut up and am having the labels professionally created and printed using screen used images of the can and details from correct era cans, so they wont be perfect, but they'll be pretty damn good from a foot away, including the rib in the can if everything goes to plan!) £70 plus shipping
3)* built kits, painted, with replica tin: all painted and assembled, ready to display £90 plus shipping
I've already established its gonna take about a fortnight for the last bits I need to complete the project to arrive and I was thinking just a small run of 5 to get the whole thing made and completed in a timely fashion. All 5 will be completed and sent out within 1 month after the last of the five deposits made. Deposit would be £10 for a place in the list and will be accepted once the 5 preliminary spots have been requested. Obviously people are gonna need photos before they make any solid decisions on whether they want one or not but I'm hoping to get photos up of what I've already completed in the next few days and the completed model with tin will be up in about 2 weeks time (based on stuff arriving in a timely fashion, everything has already been ordered) hopefully as I start putting pieces up, this will gain some interest. Therefore I'm hoping at best, to get the spots filled within 2 weeks, ready for those people to put in their deposits.In a best case scenario, this run of 5 will be entirely complete within 6 weeks.
I'm hoping to paint the finished kit with my airbrush to get a realistic finish but will need to dig it out of storage to see if its running ok. Finally, I should mention that it wiill be a poseable kit (mouth and tongue poseable.)
Let me know if you have any questions! Pics will be up soon xx
List for who wants in, once I've got to 5, I'll pm you for deposits.
