Mmm… speaking of airbrush systems, just quickly, I think that there are more parts involved to using that tech in order to have a working system. Get your hands on an Iwata Custom Micron series airbrush (or a Harder&Steenbeck if you want), a Benchvent extraction fan system (any size) with a Silentaire compressor (not to mention an airhose and adaptors) and you see that there is comparable cost. I went overboard in pushing top of the line items but they do add up and can be measured by comparison in whatever currency you fancy.

What these things can’t make up for is our emotional investment. Vinyl and CD have a tangible tactile element that make them perceivable in more than one sense and attachment made in the mind in greater scope. Here it might be the same way with GW that model builders for tanks, trains and aircraft keep their fanbase. Hell, take a look at the arena of Figure Modeler magazine caters to and see what kind of attachment the IPs they deal with have. Characters from movies and all sorts of bric-a-brac in resin for the love of the idea they represent. Its essentially the same with anime figure collectors.

Looking at the future the OGML is the commercialization of what has been to the present a fan flavored labor of love. With the lack of any storage issues, other than virtually, there’s no limit to the amount of IP. It seems like the means of production is the one big hurdle.
