Protest high kit prices and AM detail prices by scratchbuilding.

LOL! As in many cases, it does not.

 

Like could you really see a crowd gathering at Tamiya USA, or one of the import companies such as Stevens or MRC?  We don’t have many choices left in the US now that Revell USA is closed.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

I agree with Kensar in one respect. 

I dont know what “ protest” means exactly here, but “rebel”  as a verb might fit.

Its worth challenging oneself to make stuff rather than shell out more bucks for AM. 

 

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

If you're going to protest you need to let the manufacturers know exactly why you're not buying from them. Maybe it works and maybe not but if they don't know why salesa are down they'll draw the wrong conclusions. Send an email and tell them.

And how is that working out for you? Not trying to be sarcastic. Face it, it‘s inflation, economics, supply & demand and costs to manufacture these products. For the most part, kits are pretty reasonable these days. Sure there are certain kits carry a high price tag (ie: Wungnuts) or even 1/72 - better yet, 1/48 bomber kits can run you a couple hundred dollars for them due to their size.

If it’s kits prices you’re protesting, why not protest the rising gas prices. Everything goes up from taxes, utility bills, food, services, automobiles, clothes, medications, health care, etc... are all rising as well. Funny, nobody protests those but the reality is we still buy them whether you like it or not.
