Just got back from the Reno High Rollers model show/contest. My wife and I bought thirty bucks worth of raffle tickets, you know, to help pay for the event. By the time the raffle was over we had a two foot high stack of kits thanks to our seven winning tickets. I was especially happy to snag the Takom T-54B, and a Dragon Magach 1/2. We had to take a few aircraft and car models too, but getting several armor kits that were on my "to buy" list was kind of cool. If I add up the retail prices of all those kits we actually made money on the trip--I wonder if I can use that as justification for ordering some more tools and paint and stuff?

Absolutely! You will need it to build all those kits anyway.

What the what!

"I wonder if I can use that as justification...."
