[Nfb-krafters-korner] Test Builders Needed for Cardboard Model Car Kits.

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Another group might be the students division or the parents division.  I bet a dad would love to build a car with his child and learn all the parts of a car and how the wheels turn to make it work.   NFB Talk will reach out to a majority of the NFB.  
Just trying to help you reach others not on this list and to be able to hear, my project is a success.  Wishing you good luck.

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
