Is this hobby becoming too expensive?

<p>Well Brakie, I have been humbled and honored to have seen such 110% modeling in person over the years. Sadly I will never achieve that. However, I try to do good work with what is availible and if it means a little plastic without paint here and there? I think's is ok. Weathering will take care of the worst places if done after looking at similar photos.</p><p>Regarding one poster who claimed that home ownership free and clear is impossible there are those who choose to live in slightly lower cost of living areas and try to do it well to make it happen. We dont need 400,000 dollar homes. 50,000 done right is plenty. But not in the mega cities where everything is out of sight anyhow.</p><p>I hear stories of the humble rowhomes back in Baltimore turned into money land selling for 6 to 10 times what they sold brand new around the war years. Sometimes such expensive homes are torn down straight away to build bigger, more expensive and glitzier towers.</p><p>Such a pace cannot and will not be sustained.</p><p>Thank goodness Trains is cheap. Yes they are getting pricer and I can buy fewer of them each month because of higher unit costs but once in a while... indeed lightning can and does strike twice.</p>
