I think you need to take another look at the posts. No one is criticizeing people that are foprtunate to afford anything they want. Also I dont think a lot of people work their asses off any more than the rest of us. Geographic location and communities detyermine wages etc. What we are criticiseing is those modellers that can afford it and seem to have a holier than thou attitude towards those that cant just because someone asked a question and was concerned he was being ripped off which he was.

No one cares who wants to buy expensivce kits and who wants to scratch build. hell im not dumb enough to believe that everyone has the room to scratch build nor everyone the skills or desire to.

What we were commenting on is the stuckup few that have to antagonize and demean everyone else that may not have money to throw out all at once by telling us that we dont belong and that if we cant write blank checks we need to find another end of the hobby. So reread before you post then you will realize your mistake.

PS But just like diving and other hobbies, if you cannot afford all at once you can still enjoy the sport or hobby by buying a little at a time and just because you choose to do that or can only afford to do that doesnt mean you dont deserve the same degree of respect as those that can pay outright.
