Wow, I got bit hard by the bug! Since Bro (Kencelot) managed to peek my interest again in this wondeful hobby ,I feel Im losing control. I must say it was a fun weekend, though it cost me over $200.00. Please dont tell the wife. I told her I found them (worked when I was 8 ).
What I found was an Aztec4709, Reg.Moisture trap combo, and 2 new builds (1 on the table going and hav'nt even staightened up my work area yet) As I progress Ill post shots. In the meantime Ive gotta run..dont wanna be late for my P.B.A. meeting...Plastic Builders Anonyomous(sp.?) " Hi my names John....blame Ken!"

:-) :-)

Good start. You could tell her that once the initial outlay has been made, it is usually small amounts of money after that. In my experience, it only works for a short while, of course.

Hi all

Armorama has got me more committed to modelling than I've been in years! I love the place, but it's a bad influence... if this carries on I'll have to invest in broadband...

All the best

Rowan it's not a problem, really... it's not a problem...

heres my solution

I Just figure out what me and the wife spend for dinning out for the month and compare it to that.. and now a year and a half later i've got my inital outlay all done and I spend very little on stuff... maybe $10 to $20 here and there a month.... hmm except for today...... I just told my wife thank you for the birthday present..............the micromark paint shaker.... that I just ordered........



remember.. you have to catch the other half in a good mood to... that helps.......

Hi and Welcome to the site.
You got a good air brush. (OK, I have to say that cause I have one, but I really do like it.)
So...what kit's did you buy and which one did you start?

Not to skirt the issue....but I will...Starting with what I feel is fairly simple (though Im finding none are) as I move along Im going to post progress as not to embarrass myself. Rest assured I will have a million questions to ask. The best part is..here they get answered :-)

You're right about that. And we all learn from each other's questions. :-)

G'day from down under. I see you have started the right way with an olive drab (OD) softskin water tank truck. And it's a GMC-CCKW to!!!!!.

Way to go bro. If you want any info on this or other OD softskins just PM your questions to me. :-)

Great start ! Better don´t worry about your wife, in this hobby most of us have the same problem, you´ll discover what creative you can be telling strange stories. :-) :-) :-)

GREAT START
ROBERTO

Word of advice. DON'T MOVE TO JAPAN!!!!!! My wife still thinks I spend too much money, but the kit are cheaper!!! A lot cheaper, so I buy'em but hey I just reminder her about the cost of the kits and she softens a bit. stug

When I was married, I invited my wife (to be) to a model show. She thought it was pretty cool and I bought her her own kit. Once in a while I let her participate in one of my projects, and I took time to help her with hers. You might try that approach, then you no longer have to justify wht you buy, just deal with "Where's mine?"
