It doesn't have to be an either/or situation, as robdebie explains below. And if you're not in a club, surely you know someone who you would like to leave your modeling stuff to en masse. For that matter, people on this very board have distributed everything model-related they had to other members here when they decided to leave the hobby permanently...a much better solution for all parties involved than just dumping your possibly loved, lifetime hobby in the trash.

Purty kewl.

Otis made elevators when he wasn't singing, believed no one ever.

First new Ferrari I've really lusted after in a very long time.

Said Yoda "do or do not, there is no try".

As a fella named Ford once said "you can have any color as long as it's black". https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/how-cars-went-from-any-color-as-long-as-its-black-to-a-rainbow-of-hues/

Aren't you glad she's found your purpose in life?

Say duh huh?

Kewl. One of THE most gorgeous cars on the planet, and topless to boot.

Offhand, all I can think that rhymes with "also" is "wall so", as in "you need to stop hitting the wall so".

Rhyme is what slime, thyme, and climb do also.

Much cool project, missed it before. Looking good.

Retired years ago I did, but that hasn't stopped me from working like a fool pretty much full-time ever since.

There was a very attractive woman I was getting involved with a couple decades back, but when she asked why I had "so many cars", and I explained that restoring, modifying, and driving interesting stuff was one of my hobbies, it became pretty obvious she'd be putting a stop to that particular bit of man-foolishness as soon as she got the keys to the kingdom. Needless to say, she never did, as when I made it clear just exactly what "love me, love my dog" means to a hardcore car guy, she moved on to become somebody else's boss.

And people wonder why I've been single for the last 24 years...

What always intrigues me is the guys who brag on how much stuff they've got but never ever post a build. Yeah, it's a free country, but come on, man.

"Frustrating" doesn't come close to describing the reality of dealing with some clients.

Apparently it's not all that hard.

I might be able to help you out. Stand by, but don't hold your breath.

That's the way it works. I don't remember exactly when the car "experts" began their narrative push that "neutral colors are worth more in trade or easier to sell on the back-end", but it's been decades. Anyone who's a long-term car-market watcher knows this. It's nothing new. The car-buying market responded by buying increasingly high percentages of boring colors, so the dealers, not being complete idiots, tended to stock what most people seemed to be buying...so people who came in wanting something from stock drove away in boring colored cars. Wash, rinse, repeat ad infinitum.

So you're aware that for every boring color, there seem to be at least 25 "variants" too. What fun we have.

In this area, it always seems to be bread and milk that disappear first whenever any kind of cold "weather event" is forecast. (Whatever happened to the words "snow" or "sleet" or "ice storm"?) I guess everyone figures on having tasty milk sammidges while they shiver in the dark singing Kumbaya. EDIT: Maybe there's some logic to it. Seems on the surface that Spam and peanut butter and jam would be better sammidge fillings in the event of a power outage, but cold Spam is greasy and might traumatize sensitive tummies, PB and jam get too thick to spread for limp little fingers only adapted to texting, so apparently pouring milk that doesn't need to be refrigerated ('cause it's cold in the house) on some bread just might be the optimum survival solution for some...

Pants, according to some sources, were invented by the same guy who invented the internet.

Sometimes I feel like I live in an old-school hobby shop...and that's OK by me.

^^^ I really like the upside-down container idea. I have some small yogurt containers I use for mixing epoxy and polyester resins that would be perfect...same result, but a smaller footprint than the margarine tub. Thanks.
