Hi...

I don't have a "budget", per se.

What I generally do is save money until I find something I want, whether that be a model kit, reference book, after-market stuff or what have you.

The hard part is deciding whether to spend on the modelling/military history hobby or the firearms hobby. Then again, with the average armor kit costing less than a tank of gas, one or two a month is about average. Unless I go to a show like AMPS, then I might buy quite a few kits within a single weekend.

In the end, the amount I spend on my hobbies is dependent on my discretionary income, a minimum of about $100US per week.
