Are Mods The Thing of the Past ?

[pickelhaube]

Hey all you collecting Guys,
Historically except about 20 years ago I always sell more of my mods on ebay.
I use this forum as a launching site when I make a new creation.
I consider it home.
I actually have not made one in about 5 years or so.
During that period almost all XD has increased in price about 4-5 times.
What cost $39.94 back in the day is up to at least $150 , some more some less.

Is modifying your $150 item a thing of the past ?
Is the desire to get more things in 1/18 scale alive and kicking or has that desire died on the vine ?

I think the issue is not as many collectors as in the past and the availability of 1:18.
As you said the price has increased but I still cut up 21st to make customs/Mods. I think
they're a great base to start from and could always use more detail. I was never into RC tanks
so I didn't go the 1:16 rc route.

I'll stick with 1:18 and as long as you make Custom kits/Mods, I'll buy them Pichel...besides yours are better
than mine.

I am with you on this one Normandy...I love my 1:18 scale stuff , but as stated the price's on this range is Ludicrous for buying any thing now!!

Depends. I’d say mods are over for certain high value items, and new opportunities are open for the others (like the Huey and F-86) that are still available in kit form.
