Q:  Why are you selling SP Designs kits in the USA?

A:  I got to know Sergej (the owner of SP Designs) back in around 1997 when he was still casting using polyethylene resins (fiberglass resins) and only doing a few BTR-80 and BMP-1 conversions.  I was impressed with the amount of work he put into the kits, and the uniqueness of the subject material.  I wanted to help encourage people in the USA to buy his kits without worrying about "internatioanl commerce".  I also wanted to be able to suggest different resins and rubber mold materials to Sergej to help improve his product. 

Q: Do you make any money or other benefit from selling SP Designs kits?

A: No.  I recieve no compensation for helping Sergej sell his kits in the USA, nor for building and running the SAAM website.  I look at it as both a hobby and a service to the modelling community.

Q:  Will you ever run SAAM as a profit oriented business?

A: Probably, but not including SP Designs.  I have, in the past, sold plastic kits at a reduced price.  These were mainly meant to accompany the SP Design kits.  I have not taken this back up primarily because there are many good internet companies that can meet any price I was charging.  However...

Q:  Will SAAM ever produce any of its own resin kits?

A:  Almost certainly.  I have many ideas, I am gaining knowledge in casting resin pieces, and I have the desire to take on the aftermarket business.  And not all the subjects I want to tackle would be 1/35 nor even armor.

However, until all my children are in school, I have no time to really take this on.  Basically, it is a "keep tuned" proposition at this point.
