Here's the deal... it may APPEAR that I have $15,000-$20,000 worth of stuff stashed away in the garage and other places. As far as my wife knows however, most of that was either traded for, picked up dirt cheap from someone leaving the hobby or belongs to someone else and is just here while I work on it or store it for them. That is my official story.

I kid around of course. She doesn't know the exact figure but she wouldn't mind either. My hobby budget is mine to what I please.

Let's put it this way... my Tower Hobbies invoices that I have filed away total almost $15,000. That doesn't include the local hobby shop, Horizon Hobby, Sig, swap meet & show stuff and other various vendors.

People think I'm nuts but those same people have a $25,000 boat beside their house, a huge RV or a garage full of ATV's. It's just about what you're into.
