Ya wanna know how much I spend on my hobby, and how cheap I am at the same time?? I bought a set of expensive colored pencils (my favorite medium) back when I was in art school, maybe 1978 or so. $2.25 PER PENCIL! Multiply that but the 200 color set I got, and we're talking $450.00 for friggin colored pencils!! (But they really ARE the best!) I still have the majority of some of them, but many were used up, and never replaced. I also have a $100 air compressor for airbrushing, my airbrush ($250 or so), and you should SEE the stack on unbuilt models I have! I have both the chrome and normal Polar Lights Jupiter II models, many of the other Polar Lights kits, some Star Trek, all the battlestar galactica kits, and my biggest ones ate a 3ft diameter Mars Attacks saucer, and a 3 ft long Seaview from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, with the nose kit AND the mini flying sub. I easily have over 1000 action figures, and wouldn't be surprised if it's closer to 2000 (the wife also collects them now as well) My poser hobby is probably the least expensive one I have, all told.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
