In Topic: How much $ do you put in a kit?

14 April 2013 - 07:30 AM

If I want to build something, I just do it,  money kind of comes in second. In the seventies and eighties  I built rc planes and that ran in the thousands. Now I build cars

and it still costs thousands. Also many of the materials and tools I buy I can use for many other projects. I like too make my models as accurate as possible, detail, detail, detail.

The only way too get accurate detail is to have the actual car, and that costs a lot of $$. I enjoy doing detail work, I don't gamble or drink and my wife dosen't mind

too much. Everyone has their amount that they spend, it's all about what makes you happy.

I was a product illustrator, a lot of airbrush work. Also black and white photo retouching and transparency assembly (film stripping). All back in the day before
computers. For the past 13 years I'm a model maker for a industrial model shop, making models for industrial designers.
