All I can suggest is since I'm now a designer in the industry of 3d printers is that you find a good 3d mechanical designer and have him/her create a 3 model of your subject and have it printed out.  Of course that doesn't work real well with really fine details.  but I'm having a blast printing out really cool odd stuff.

Yes Indeed Chuck. The man was not only hilarious, he also made sense. Sure do miss him.

I've been working on the Boeing B-17 series and am good from the B-17B through B-17G, including a YB-40 scratch build, thanks to eBay.  I'd like to see a Boeing Model 299, a Y1B-17 and/or Y1B-17A.  I know it's pretty unlikely to ever see any of them though.  However, with any one of the three, I think I could scratch out the other two.  I know it's well within the capabilities of some of you truly great builders out there, but it's beyond my limited ability to scratch build one from a "B" model.

A re-release of the old AMT kit of the AMC Javelin would be nice.......especially when prices are this high:

A decent 1/25th scale 1964 or 1965 Plymouth Barracuda. Now that would be totally killer!

I know it's coming out, but a 1/350 CV-67, and I would really like to see a modern CV-41 in 1/350.

Also, more 1/24 scale dinosaur models.

More 1/35 scale US armor crew members in noncombat poses,also US infantry in tank riding poses.

New tooled Tamiya 1/35 M3 halftrack.

The Firefly class transport Serenity,not sure on scale but around 12" over all length seems right.

Edit:ment WWII on the figures

Now that they've released a whole slew of WWI armor, I'm as happy as a pig in poop.

We NEED some good 1:35 Modern German Bundeswehr tank figures.

If I had my wishes though, I'd love, LOVE to see some Bucyrus-Eric steam shovels from the early 1920s-40w, and I would roll over and die of happiness if anyone ever did a good Manitowac Dragline or similar that was used for coal stripping.

Yes, yes, 4 stackers or a 1/350 Taney would be OK, even a 1/350 Tree Class buoy tender would work. Just something CG. I could never hope for the Storis, my first cutter.

Modern era stuff like dozers and excavators and the like? Besides Meng's amazing D9 I'm unaware of anything in the construction arena. If anyone knows of anything I'd love to hear about it.
