I have been building and collecting models for almost 50 years. About a year and a half ago, I moved to a new location. I stored all my spare parts, most of my unbuilt kits, and about 75% of my builtups, along with part of my household goods in a garage. The garage burned and I lost everything. I have recently decided to return to the hobby. I've picked up a couple kits and will eventually accumulate more spare parts. I still have all my tools and most of my supplies. I went through about a 3 year dry spell prior to the fire. I've been a little surprised at the price increase in kits and supplies. 40% off coupons from Hobby Lobby make a big difference. I'm trying to be picky and only buy what I will build. The thing I miss most is my huge stash of spare parts. Looks like I'll be building pretty much box stock for awhile! I'm enjoying what I have found here and really enjoying returning to building.

Sorry to hear about the fire, crusty. I think you've found a good spot. Spare parts are great. I recommend eBay for lbs of spare parts. Sometime you can get a good deal. Get familiar with what we have here. You already introduced yourself, so your on the right track. Start commenting and posting and when you have seem time, show us what you have.
Welcome.
