Neil_E: Unfortunately I do. Its hard to be this serious on this thread. I knew a man that produced models under a company name. Yes, they were rough but worked up well with alot of work. Some of his kits sell in excess of 250.00 USD on e-bay today. The man squandered 250,000 USD on his company. He purchased thousands of kits for 'research purchases.' He would hide half the kits he bought inside the other half of the kits he bought. Thus hidding his 'problem' from view. He simply was not a business man. And modelmaking is a business. While talented he could not manage his business. When he died of cancer he left these problems for his poor wife to deal with. Fortunately several close friends chipped in to help her retrieve a small part of her money. Creditors and broken promises. I know it sound incredulous but it is true. No smilies here students.
