More great brain work!.... Well, I'd agree on about $10-12 for a "#1".
In fact, I'd say that I would aim for a full-color only, anyway. I mean,
a one-time mag, on a specific subject....hmmmm.....seems like that would
be the best way to go. In my own view, I don't know if a B&W picture of a
WWI model would be of tremendous value to me. The critical issues, I think,
certainly would center around such things as correct color schemes and
interpretations, lozenge colors, treatment of wood areas and strutting,
weathering, etc.; all really requiring a color photo, methinks. Of course,
one would want such things as proper (and correct) line drawings, diagrams,
and the like, which can be b&w.
Anyway, my 37 Lire on the subject.....
