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
