Ace-Garageguy Posted Tuesday at 09:56 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:56 PM There's no stopping. Once the model-car needle is in your arm, you're lost. 5 1

It might be more expensive than drugs but it doesn't ruin your health, and models (unbuilt and built) can be sold 2nd hand. 2
Mike 1017 Posted Wednesday at 03:04 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:04 PM I have stopped buying since kits hit the $30.00 threshold. I have plenty to build with the $18.00 price tag still attached to build and 40% off from Hobby Lobby. Mike 3 1

Dave Ambrose Posted Wednesday at 05:48 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:48 PM Buying kits and building them are two different hobbies. Most of us are much better at the former. 3 2

bobss396 Posted Thursday at 11:12 AM Posted Thursday at 11:12 AM I will admit, I have a large styrene footprint. I buy a kit here and there if they are discounted or something I see at a show. At the NNL East, I wound up with 11 stock car donor kits, plus 4 3D printed stock cars. I jumped into buying 3D printed parts, etc a few years back. With summer I have slowed that down. Like others say, there are worse habits out there. 2
Dragline Posted Thursday at 03:43 PM Posted Thursday at 03:43 PM It is incurable. You can be made comfortable, but you will live with it all your days. We all have it so feel free to keep commiserating. 1

Redisetta Posted Thursday at 04:02 PM Posted Thursday at 04:02 PM Hey Kaci, Ikea has a couple of pretty good variety of glass cases available, I will get down to my display room in a few and take a couple of pictures for you Ray
Redisetta Posted Thursday at 04:14 PM Posted Thursday at 04:14 PM I quit stopping a long time ago lol. Here’s a couple of ideas for glass cases from IKEA . This is about 10 years worth of building after retirement, so yes you need more room my friend 🤪 4 1

I have just one case for my builts. 1
THarrison351 Posted yesterday at 05:13 AM Posted yesterday at 05:13 AM I'm fortunate I have a whole room and capability to add some shelves. Those shelves in the middle are the majority of my built models. 2

I help out in one on a wed morning and they get a lot of display cabinets in like new condition that sell for pennies on the pound. the middle of lidl is good too, i got one of my cabinets there. also if you are in a housing assosiation flat they might have a store of left behind furniture though most goes to restart type shops. and shop bankruptcy sales can get cheap display units, often with lighting, if you go in on the last day and make a silly offer. jewellery shops are great for those cabinets 1
