question for landships modelling anon:
I was thinking of getting into the business of designing 3D models, printing them and shipping the finished product.
I would entirely focus of ultra-common post-ww2 civilian cars, all in 1/35 scale.
They would go really well in military dioramas or even just as standalone models. They would give sense of scale when placed next to military subjects, and they would offer much needed respite from the usual military subjects that constitute the armor modeller's main interest (I think people need that once in a while, otherwise stuff like the pancake train in 1/35 from AK would never sell. Also their vans and off-road vehicle are selling like hot cake.).
Moreover, many would like to have their own car, or a car they're incredibly familiar with, in their collection, ideally next to all these armored war machines they've never seen IRL.
I was thinking of designing these cars with decently detailed exteriors, simplified interiors, and a flat underside, some decals included but no photoetch.
It's an untapped market niche. Nobody makes post-ww2 civilian cars in 1/35, either in plastic or resin. And I think many people would buy them.
