Hello Again,
 
I followed Terry Power's recommendation, and signed on for the nfb-cars  
list.  Other than my recent post, there hadn't been any posts on that list  
after November, 2011, at least according to the archives.  Nonetheless, I  
announced my models and their descriptions.  I received one reply, from  David 
Hutchins.  He told me that a blind person can build a regular plastic  model 
kit, if the instructions are in Braille.  I am supposing that a  hobbyist 
would be able to scan the model's printed instructions, then print them  out 
through a Braille converter.
 
So, I'm not sure there is much interest over there in what I'm doing.   Due 
to my lack of knowledge of what the blind are capable of, I underestimated  
your abilities and expectations.
 
I do, however, believe that from a papercrafting perspective, I have a good 
 product, and I am as much a papercrafter as I am a model builder.
 
Would any of you be interested in trying one of my kits, for free, in  
exchange for writing a review of it for the list members?  I have five  models 
in the product line, so I need five volunteers.
 
If I eventually sell the models, I will take a loss on my labor, and price  
them at $19, postage and handling extra.
 
Thank you all for your interest so far,
Mark Crowel
