Great, give me a company credit, they don't sell their models for nothing I'm not going to set around researching for nothing ... their time is valuable and so is mine. In all do respect Jim, not a lot of people are going to spend a lot of time researching, collection and laying out date accompanied with a product proposal to benefit a company just to turn around and PAY for the privilege of doing it. If a company provided incentive if you submit a proposal and if they accept it they'll give you X amount of credit in models of your choice. These companies might find themselves inundated with proposals, but have a guideline so you don't get a lot of crap proposals.
Dave I have a real problem with this statement, if you want a product to go on the market you need on occasion to do what needs doing to hook the manufacturer. I don’t know for sure but I would assume that if you provided the leg work for a product, the company involved would at the very least send you that product as a thank you if it is progressed and possibly even preproduction samples for an opinion. Lastly if we all thought that way the KitMaker Network would not be here in the format it is, because none of us are paid for the work we put in, we do it because we want to do it and give something to the community (I spend 40 plus hours a week working on and off line to try and provide items from the membership for the interest of the members here). I take that back I get access to the staff forums.
