Oh - I know resin sucks in many ways. I used to buy some resin model kits years ago and just got tired of dealing with that nasty stuff...
I was just mentioning it in passing.
Upcoming price increase

The CPI index doesn't seem to fully reflect the price increases going on everywhere - my property taxes went up by 109% in 7 years (thank you, foreign buyers).
I trust GHQ is keeping a close eye on the development of 3D printers. They can't be used to produce the models, but perhaps they are getting close enough to serve as the mechanism for producing the masters. That description of the process used a lot of repetition of "manual" so if there are any ways to reduce the reliance on manual effort, they are worth investigating.
Some of the other solutions, like machine vision for parts inspection, probably requires too much capital investment to work with the quantities that GHQ produces.

First, thank you , thank you, thank you for all the years of great products at reasonable prices!
Would you guys ever do a graduated discount (or special sale) for orders; that is, the more you order, the more the discount? I am a confirmed naval meglomaniac, with 1,693 ships and counting. You could probably suck me into big purchases with the promise of greater discounts with larger orders!
My wife would thank you for it..........well maybe not.....
Regardless, thanks and keep it up. You guys are the best.
