i have made a few, i bought one and reverse moulded it and i have spun one with my own metal profile, i want to start adding detail though have any of you guys done much modelling?

oh and that isnt a question of how beautiful you are ;) :-*
 
its only the model that you lose money on because thats what takes the time to mate, when you reverse mould them it takes about 20 mins and i made 5 from one bag of casting plaster, the plaster only cost about £10 so in materials they only cost me £2 each to make an 20 mins of my time. although you are right there isnt much demand for them but what i do is ask the customer when i am skimming the room if they would like me to put a ceiling cose up for them for an extra £30 quid then i tell them that i will make it myself especially for them.

they normally say yes and i have fitted 6 of my own now.... thats £168 profit ;)

wow 168 quid yea not bad that over how long ? might have to re do my business plan
 
well its 20 mins a piece i would say so it works out about 2 hours all in all. £168 in 2 hours am happy with it and it looks good for you business when people start talking :)
