I appreciate your insight - really helpful.
Essentially, yes - I think ‘model shop/sculpture studio’ is probably more accurate. I dont have the high-end equipment - I do everything by hand aside from a rotocaster for hollow castings and all my materials are RTV. When I need machined or high-tolerance components in a model, I usually incorporate store-bought items into the model. Almost all my past work has been for artists for whom highly exacting tolerances are of less importance.
Thanks for the ideas on specializing - most of my background is in managing ‘green’ projects from the business end - maybe thats just what I need to focus on - wind turbines, photovoltaic components, etc…just build a portfolio based on this specialty and start networking from there.
thanks again for taking the time…you’re helping me think in the right direction.
I can’t help you directly. but I think you should advertise yourself a little bit depends on the amount of money you want to invest and the expected work. a little advetisment will expose you to the market and to many potencial partners…
