[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tatans Buy a model kit : build it.=No unbuilt model kits, isn't that the procedure? [/quote] Maybe for some people, but from the replies in this thread it doesn't seem so. I don't think any of us starts out to be kit and model collectors, it "just happens". I like MOW equipment and snow plows, have built quite a few of them. At a train show last year a dealer had a really great deal on a Walthers powered American crane and a Russell snow plow. And an extra 10% off for sales before 10AM! Couldn't resist buying both, although I already had similar ones at home. The price is what got me - both for around $44.00 (Canadian) and no 15% sales tax! I paid around $80.00 for my previous powered crane, and had seen unpowered ones for around $42.00. Saved some big bucks and gained some more kits for "someday". I collected plastic model airplanes and helicopters too - had around 200 stashed in a closet. While I do like them, they do take up way too much space when built, so I sold a bunch on eBay a while ago and not sure what I'll do with the 150 or so left and some are BIG kits! I do have about a dozen built, but they take up a whole shelf in my hobby room where I could store around 72 HO scale rolling stock models. Kit collectors' madness I guess! [:D] Bob Boudreau
