The thing that's bugging me is that reference material is damn hard to find in stores these days. One can't even rely on the used book stores for cool nature books with usable photos to work from. I don't know what the deal is. The major retailers tailor their stock to what's fashionable with not really a view to expanding the horizons of their customers.
We have the same problem in men's clothing in the midwest...people only dress a certain way because that is all that's available. Availability is based on market studies of what will sell which all show, you guessed it, that people only buy certain things, those being all that is available. It's a viscous circle. (I know what I wrote)
On line is not much better because the algorithms are tailored to show what they predict you already have an interest in. Not what might be related but different. It takes sometimes months of online shopping to find something inspiring to fill that gap in your wardrobe or a specific tool or part for a project. Almost everything exists already it's just damn hard to sort through the million miles deep pile of things for sale to get your thing.
Same problem exists in reverse to those of us who make and sell things, no matter how cool they are, it's very difficult to get your stuff in front of the right people who are looking for your particular thing. Those customers all exist but you have to dig UP from the pile of things for sale to find the people who are digging down looking.

This one will be finished similar to the other beetle I have for sale in my WEB STORE
