tbill Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 ya, it can get out of control quick....just ask me how I know, lol. don't worry, as long as you have a kit, some basic supplies and somewhere to work, it's all good......cause you're building.
DrKerry Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Just wait, it'll bite ya hard one of these days and next thing you know you'll have 500 kits!!!! It's a disease and it's addicting!!!
southpier Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 there's a guy over on TRaK that's selling 215+ kits, paints, et cetera for 600$ bucks. any of us would buy a kit for 3$ even if it were for the wheels or engine. but let's face it, it's a hobby and there's more to life than building models. keep it in perspective and you'll be fine. and there's always birthdays and festivus!

Can you inform me on what TRaK is or give me a link?
Brett Barrow Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Can you inform me on what TRaK is or give me a link? Traditional Rods and Kustoms in Scale. The focus on that forum is period-correct traditional rods and kustoms before the late 60's. It's like the HAMB for models. I don't know if the mods are OK with links to other forums, so I'll just say to google "Trak in scale"

azers Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I still work on a tv tray. But now its a highly modified tv tray.
mnwildpunk Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Idk if anybody else has this problem but I have multiple hobbies and one workbench well two if you count the one in my garage. Any time I want to on a model I usually spend in hour clearing off the workbench of my woodworking projects, the carb I'm rebuilding or my sons modeling project even the wife's painting stuff. I wish I had a small set up like you. I wish I had a dedicated work area
disabled modeler Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I use to have a dedicated work area till the wife decided to start storing things in it while I am still trying to repair the damage the people that raided it done.... . And the wife asks me why I don't get more done on it...???... .

MustangGuy23 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Thank you all so much for your encouraging words. I don't want to spill all the beans yet, but thanks to Joe Smythe's above reply and to a standup hobby shop owner I got in contact with via Facebook, this Sunday my stash will get quite a bit bigger.
JTalmage Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I feel like I've come full circle on my "build space" I've changed interests and quit building for years, and other things took its place, no longer have a desk in my room. Taken up now by a 2x2 12" guitar speaker cabinet half stack with a guitar amp on top, crates of records in a few other corners. My build space is now a foldaway table, with a milk crate as a chair. However my stash keeps growing, and I'm a slow builder nowadays. I spend more time building my real 1:1 cars. I keep telling myself I wont buy anymore, and once I run out of trade material I'm done accumulating... but that never happens. I'd love to have the space, but I'd love to have finished models even more.
Tom Geiger Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I use to have a dedicated work area till the wife decided to start storing things in it while I am still trying to repair the damage the people that raided it done.... . And the wife asks me why I don't get more done on it...???... . I have a dedicated model room, but my wife constantly drops off piles of stuff there. As she 'cleans' the house, she never resolves items, she just creates piles of them and puts them in my model room, often on my chair or bench. Piles can contain things that have no connection to me, like sales flyers and junk mail. So when I decide to work on a model, I have to first remove this stuff!
DR JAY Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I think I may have cured my Runaway Hobby Room...my Girlfriend and her son moved into my palace and I agreed to let her set up her quilting stuff/sewing machine in 1/2 of the room. Limited space means less room for more loot...until she finds out how dusty it can get in Manland and decides to move her stuff to another room. I tried...
Matt Bacon Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 ...you don't want to let the fluff, dust and threads from sewing and quilting anywhere near your painting area! ;-P bestest, M.
