I'm going to clean off my model workbench, give away all my mediocre models, and start a new hobby, like stamp collecting. :-)
Don't knock it, stamp collecting is a lot of fun! One of my more enjoyable hobbies, of which I have many. John
coin collecting is really fun, too. and lucrative if you learn to grade and read.
Yeah, but you don't have to make the stamps or add detailing. :-)
Nah, look a little closer - he missed a couple of rivets. 8-)D

I collect them too. I collect them in a shoe box. I 'should' get something more elegant to put them in but maybe someday my grandson will have fun with them.

To quote a friend and Pocher model builder.....
Gerald Wingrove has received the O.B.E. for his work so you shouldn't get too upset if you don't meet these standards. His models, 1/15th scale, regularly sell at auction over $20,000.

Woo, wait a minute here, boys.
Mr. Wingrove and his wife do this for a living and have earned SERIOUS cash (and honour) with it. Go here and wet your apetite:
