Alright class settle down. The question was what is the Theorum of Progression ? Much like a stooge that falls from a flag pole mounted outside a window of a 17 story building the 'progression develops' ;

1. As soon as you scratchbuild a model, a manufacturer will release a vacuform kit of it.

2. As soon as you finish the vacuform kit, an injected molded version of the prototype will be released.

3. As soon as you convert the the injected molded kit to the version you want, your version will be released by another manufacturer who will include the refined versions of the decals, resin or photo etch that you had suggested to them on their website. But they will not mention you or provide you with gratis examples for your trouble.

4. You can't win.

5. You can't break even.

6. but you can publish an article that will give you a chance to review the final kit and point out it flaws.

Next Pop quiz what is 'The Law of Finite Differences'?

Steve:

Could the Law of Finite Differences refer to a manufacturer's making diffenent versions of the same basic kit by adding places on the model for the parts that were unusable in the previously released kit, like Hasegawa does a lot, or am I totally off base?
