Kit Improvement Suggestion
Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2024 4:40 pm
I am most of the way through framing up my Wee Duster kit. It is my first kit from WN, but I have been building for quite a few years.
With the interlocking parts, I would mostly agree that full-size plans or detailed instructions are not strictly needed. However, I think one of the following would make building much easier and would require minimal effort:
a) Add some engraving to the parts themselves. The function of some parts is not obvious. I know this slightly increases the "laser on" time for each kit. I would not think it would be significant.
or
b) Create PDF versions of the part sheets with the parts labeled on them. I understand this might make it easier for unscrupulous ner-do-wells to rip off the designs, and that's a valid concern.
