Back in January, I had planned to release a model of a Gaswagen that would more or less coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Wannsee conference. My intent was not to hide the reality of the holocaust under a pile of flowers and tears, but to educate folk on the actual horror and hatred of that terrible period in history.
A good friend of mine eventually convinced me to not go through with the project, as he thought it was "tasteless", to put it bluntly. The svg file for the model has since been gathering dust in my inkscape folder.
I'd like to clarify that my kits are in no way shape or form meant to be toys, unlike the My Little Pony stuff I do. I obviously don't intend for this gaswagen to be printed and played with like some demented plaything - certainly not. It's just...a model, nothing more. Nonetheless, this kit will obviously strike quite a few chords with people, which is why I now pose the question:
Would you be okay with a model of a concentration camp Gas Van, or something similar?
