Forums - Modelling / Smallscale

The construction forum is for the discussion of small scale AFV modelling. Usually this refers to 1-76th and 1-72nd scale AFVs.

Well, OK, maybe it does :)

Hey, sorry I haven't gotten your package in the mail yet, but it will go out
Monday. I'll try to find a couple of other goodies to toss in with the kits.
Of course, I will expect a full construction review within two weeks!

nyuck nyuck -just kidding

I think that Milan summarized his feelings pretty well below, and I concur
with them. This is a golden era of small scale modeling, and I can only hope
that the world's economy can sustain it. But even so, I try to buy as many
kits as possible, especially limited-releases, because I have a pessimistic
feeling that the hobby will slump. Perhaps not in the next year or two, but
perhaps soon. I only suspect this, because of the lack of young people
entering the hobby.

But as for having the money to buy everything I want, I'm in the same boat
as you. Since we've moved, my wife has been unable to find any sort of work,
so that has limited my new purchases to only a few new kits per year.
Bummer.

All I can say is, if the hobby is eventually going to dwindle, I hope it
does it AFTER Mirage releases their Shermans!
