As most of you know, CM is a part time business. (actually it’s not. We work it 24/7) It’s not a living.

We are always growing and I am trying to push it over the top so that at least one of us can make it a full time operation. I have had several people request custom models and even complete layouts.

Officially, I am accepting this type of work. I will build modules, custom structures, small layouts etc. Prices are to be based on an hourly rate and flat bids. A small layout like our traveling demo will start around $5000. Simple detailed structures will start at $100. Terms are 1/3rd as a retainer with other payment to be determined. I currently have one contract pending for a layout and will only accept 4 layouts per year.

As always I want to hear your thoughts and should you know someone who wants to start or can’t finish or just cant find the time, I might be the answer to their problrms.

Thanks all.

Thom
