Hi all I just spent £158.00 on models ooops in my defense that did include some paint and some microsol\set (never used it before but thought I would give it a go. But it also includes an AMT mystery car won’t say what it will spoil the surprise, The Batmobile,The Beatnik Bandit, The monkee’s mobile, Triumph Tr 4, Gloster Gladiator, DeHaviland Tigerand a Messerchmitt BF109E-4. Should keep me busy for a couple of days.
No problem with that.Did you pay the bills,buy the food,pay the rent,then your golden.Unless you have a significant other,and they are not on board.then you got some splanin to do
the most I spent in one shot was $219.00 USD for thre Hasegawa Akagi
Nice going.
As another of the independently rich, I can but applaud you wise choices 
… OK,
OK you got me, I’m not really independently wealthy; I just spend like it

Good for you! Hopefully you won’t have to sneak then past your wife. lol. To help get around that, I asked my wife to take up a collection from friends and family to purchase my next big project. The 1/200 “big MO” currently priced at $359.00 US at my LHS. high priced, yes, But it’s BIG! happy building
Forgot to ad that it will be for my 50th birthday. lol
Good man, someone has to keep the hobby alive. I have a monthly budget of £150, of course that isn’t all on kits, well not always, but all those books, AM details, paints and so on won’t buy themselves will they.
158lbs is more than I paid for my first car. That is a lot better than wasting the money on beer. At least that’s my “take away” on the subject. Cheers mate.
O that’s handy, you get a free man with the model. Did he come gift wrapped.
Well kpnuts what a haul! The microsol/set is super stuff especially if your laying up decals over a curve or curves. Put the decal in water as normal and lay it on the body, if it seems not to comply with the curved surface carefully brush (nice thick bristles) onto the decal and let it soak in. It might take a time but it will work. First though read the instructions on the bottle.
That was one option, but I choosed cheaper version and it was just shrink wrapped.
As you see small writing under wing, it says “Lady Fit”. This is that version what comes with replacement dude for lady while hubby is building the kit. Another one, but more pricey would be “Lady Fit, Sport Edition” what comes with one of the Chippendales.
haven’t you seen a box with arms and legs before?
oh, and the OP, you don’t need to worry until you spend 158 on ONE model!
What’s up with the oops, I’m not seeing a problem here
I know a guy that paid 900 euro for a Catalina kit!
I remember some poor fella tried to convince his wife to let him buy a $229 model kit. [^o)] Whatever happened to him???
You mean he that shall not be mentioned.
I seem to recall that causing a few spin off’s. [whstl]
I saw him in a forum that I believe you belong to also [H] it was interesting to hear from him again
Yes, the undead one is still alive and, well, un-dead.
Definitely " alive " ( please forgive the expression ) and kicking…
