Successful or not I'd have to question it and you would too if you saw the kids of an old co-worker..

Common misconceptions are habitually uttered by those who are complicit in keeping individuals uninformed causing an abundance of stupidity to those to unable to use common sense.

Uncommon model kits can be highly desirable.

[A modeler named mike]

Desirable uncommon kits were becoming increasingly hard to snag until the pandemic and hard times hit causing some collections to be liquidated, sadly but respectfully I checked off about a dozen kits that was on my list, I always sent a heartfelt note to the individual selling their loved ones kits.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Kits of railroad equipment manufactured in the '40s and '50s, mainly of the "craftsman" variety that are close to scratchbuilding, are the subject of much of my collecting interest at the moment.

Moment in time is how it felt as I would crouch down to track level and eye up the stream engine and her line of freight being pulled slowly down the tracks through the pounds of plaster and chicken wire mountains on my old layout.

Layout of dad's would often grow to fill available space; often a large percentage of basement.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Basement layouts are great if you have a dry one, attic layouts are great if you can keep them cool in summer, but garage (or in another dedicated building) layouts at ground level are the best.

MOR= Modeling On Retirement. Fact or fiction can you build all your stash during retirement.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Retirement" means different things to different people, and it's not always unlimited free time...depending of course on an individual's personal choices.

[A modeler named mike]

[slusher]

Cost of everything is out of control…

[JollySipper]

'Control freak' is what a lot of race car drivers get called, which kinda makes sense if thought about.......

[Ace-Garageguy]

About time for logic, rationality, and common sense to make a big comeback.

[slusher]

Comeback is what many professional athletes do after an injury or early retirement..

[NOBLNG]

Retirement is something that I thoroughly enjoy.

[Danno]

Enjoy retirement is something I don't get to do.
