FYI, Scott Zuibeck is rebelalpha on eBay.

Too soon? It's been a century.

I'm the same kind of modeler - er, assembler. 🙂

I don't have this problem, because my skills don't improve... 🙂 Also, I am much more casual than most modelers, in that the only research I usually do is to read is the instructions. I'm not too interested in the history of the subject, either the particular subject I've modeling or the basic variant. I just like putting plastic together. Stacey

I would be a bit careful with paper towels that had liquid cement on them, as it is flammable. Once it evaporated, I agree with the others: I think you can just toss it. Stacey

Be nice to see pics! Perhaps I should start another thread, pics of your non-model hobbies/passions. Your comment reminded me of an episode of the Swedish TV series Wallander. Kurt Wallander, the protagonist, is an avid music lover and has a large collection of LPs. At some point someone asks him how many he has, expecting an approximate answer like 2000. Wallander knows the exact number he has - I can't remember if it was a little more or a little less than 2000. Stacey

I know this is not the main topic, but 7500 LP's sounds like one cool collection!

Thanks for the info. I had seen some reviews on Amazon that indicated that you could not cut anything unless you subscribed. Apparently, that is not the case. Stacey

Some photos. Hope I can get direct image links to work. Sorry, but my stash is spread out.

No, I won't, but I will echo the thoughts of STORM and admit that the anticipation of building the stash is part of the enjoyment of the hobby. I just counted, and I have about 550 kits, and that doesn't count the roughly 140 that I've decided to sell.

Great photos! Stacey

I use the same as Richard, and will second his comment on the importance of safety in this hobby. Stacey

This. And a new 1/32 Ki-43 Oscar. Stacey

I've had this issue with Lifelike decals. I'll have to remember to not use Microset next time. Thanks for the tip. Stacey
