Model Scene Brand.....Not Good Value

Post by Justin Wooding »

Hi chaps,

A little box of leaves arrived today that cost me $10AUD, and i had a real WTF!? moment. Now i am not going to rant and carry on (much) because it was stupid me (SUCKER!) that didn't read you get 100 leaves..... :oops:


But come on Model Scene, surely you could have filled the tiny 5.5cm x 3.5cm box up! How much does it cost to make these leaves?! :evil:

Here in Europe Autumn is just starting, so there are not that much leaves available to fill those boxes ;)

I've tried laser cut "premium" leaves once. While they certainly look good, those things probably have a higher price per gram than genuine moon dust.

Nice box Woody ;)

Very useful, just get rid of the stuff they dumped in it :lol:

Time to get out the Image

Paper cutters and collecting autumn leaves as the raw materials

Great box though Woody, if I haven't already mentioned it :lol:

Only one worse than that Woody, Ammo of Mig. Little box of about 25 leaves was $15 plus pp. :shock:

That's really ridiculous...
Steve's right... I'd say bring out the stamp cutters and collect the leaves - hell I'd send you a ton of central European autumn leaves if the postage to down under wasn't so ludicrous that it would mean zero profit to you...
If you still want some drop me PM, but it seems kind of pointless, especially given the fact that they might be dried to powder one they arrive :lol: .


Best regards

I bet that one hurt. Don't buy the Ammo leaves either. Not any better.

A dollar a leaf ? Damn, someone been smoking some of them.
On a positive note, you just gave me yet another use for my Robo-cutter/Silhouette. Draw some shapes in Illustrator, stretch and randomise ,
and cut out an A4 full of leaves.
Looks like thats all they did. :oops:
$dollar a leaf ? im so sorry.... still .............
