groups of average to low modeling skills tried to bend prototypical shades, They just could not do it will enough to use them in N.
David,I have an enormous respect for your modeling talent. With that said, let me enlighten you. First off, before I started put my signals out on the market, nobody did shades commercially. So it was new ground. After several test groups of average to low modeling skills tried to bend prototypical shades, They just could not do it will enough to use them in N. The resulting shade that does not wrap around is the compromise. Although HO was a different matter, targets have never been my ... target. Oh BTW, that shot of the HO PRR head was the very first target & shades and was revamped immediately.This forum ( I personally like "A forum OF modelers" better) are not the norm. The talent here FAR exceeds the the skills required to make proto shades. My point of interest is in providing an easy to build signal bridge to people who have talent at different levels. Where else are you going to find NYC signal bridges and PRR Lines West for instance. Please realize, Signals are still my product line that I have to keep restocking each week. I sell a LOT of signals and have had very few complaints. The etched targets, to me, have always been fillers because there is always extra brass. Companies such as Integrated Signal Systems, Tomar and Alkem already have target castings and it would not be something I really want to go after since they do have this market. I should, and will, stick to what I do best. For future items I will see what I can do David. I listen.
