I am a builder. I am 72 if I were to complete one build a month, I would be 82. I have been trying just build what I have and use the rattle cans that have. I have stopped buying now that kits are over $30.00. Even with Hobby Lobby's 40% off there is not a great selection. I swear they have been selling the AMT 1968 Shelby GT 500 Mustang for at least 15 years now.
The average kit at the show by me has been $15.00. I am going to the next one and see what the average is. Just thinking, do I get a couple of tables and low-ball the price to $10.00 just to get rid of them? Maybe now $15.00 is a low-ball price.
Not only the kits what about the builds? Would anyone appreciate the skill involved in building a model?
In my will should I request an extra-large coffin so I can be buried with all of my kits and builds? Maybe just cremate them all.
Lastly, I saw an ad for a $160.00 Alpha kit in the magazine. Kudos to anyone who buys one.
I like to ask questions and get other people's opinions before I chime in with mine.
Thanks to all for your comments.
Mike
