Some vendors are totally happy to do payment plans! Not all of them, of course, and you won't get the item until you've fully paid, but it might be worth asking just in case.Matt W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140735335407192760.post-61450874458889035722016-08-20T18:06:56.348-07:002016-08-20T18:06:56.348-07:00Well said Matt.

Let's say it takes a week (40 hours) to finish a piece. Just take the average pay per hour most people get and multiply by 40. Amounts to a whole lot, no?<br />I know i have dabbled in propmaking and when i sum up the hours in one prop and compare that to what i would make in my "real" job... i would have a hard time getting that prop sold. But then again, it IS extremely fun to build and i might consider lowering the price just for that reason. BUT - that is just because i am not depending on propmaking for an income.Jannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893929992741780337noreply@blogger.com
