Selling My Blueprints - Maybe

A few days ago, I reblogged a post about HivePay.io, as it is relevant to what I do. This payment system reminded me of an earlier endeavour that I first learned about from @holovision, who suggested that I sell my 3D-printed models using Hivelist when he invited me to join the 3D print community. While I'm not quite ready to get into that, specifically, I'm happy to sell my drawings through Hivelist. I'd prefer to start with virtual products, just to see how it works, and then move on to physical products later. What I'd really like to do, since I already have Steempress installed (which has nothing to do with Steemit anymore, it's part of the Hive blockchain) on my website, is to add a HivePay.io plugin as well, this way I can both automate the system (as opposed to my current convoluted instructions) and not be dependent on PayPal. Before anyone points out the obvious, it may interest you to know that I already had my website fully operational by the time that I first heard about Hivelist, and I'd rather not simply toss all that work into the bin just yet.

There is one final issue with Hivelist - much like Wargaming 3D, it's not really set up for custom work, since you need something already there. Given the software that I use, I create 3d models before making blueprints, which is completely backwards from the way it used to be done in the bad old days of drafting tables, but it's more efficient. A blueprint is not really required unless one plans to go further than a virtual model (such as the drawings I printed out for my tractor canopy frame). Therefore, I don't make blueprints for my models unless I have a good reason to - such as if a customer wants a drawing, which could double as a painting guide, with tables full of specifications for a particular wargaming miniature. So, what say you, dear subscribers? Would any of you be willing to part with one or two Hive (HBD, specifically) in exchange for a .pdf blueprint of a model that I've made? To give you an idea of what it would look like, here are some previews of some drawings that I started working on for story purposes. All of these are screenshots of previews at 50%, so that may give you a good idea about how much detail you could potentially see.

A Nadezhda-class dreadnought, specifically its 1:700 scale model. Please note that none of the models pictured here have been built yet.

An Arcadian flying gunboat, a much more detailled model that is, theoretically, optimised for 1:220 scale.

The latest version of the Zaphnora (I've shared non-coloured drawings of this model prior to the most recent revision, which I shared in my last post). Much like the Arcadian gunboat, this is also optimised for 1:220 scale. In fact, I've already printed some test components, and two of the ship's weapons are available for sale in my Wargaming 3D shop.

There are other drawings scattered throughout my posting history, but none are this big or in full colour. On that note, while the miniature models are the most impressive, I can also make blueprints for much more mundane, yet infinitely more useful items.
