5' 6" ...so pretty short. But I make up for it in volume.
I don't want to discuss actual finances here.
But I worked out a plan and all the related costs at the beginning of the year
(to cover the drive to Virginia, the IPMC affair, and another 2-3 days of Hotel and Museum visits...for two people)
and to date, I have raised only about half of my estimated requirement.
(Its been a slower year for sales, than past years. I'm sure everyone else feels the pinch.)
My hobby must pay for itself...thats a requirement I came up with a few years ago.
I exist on a tight personal budget.
My hobby is an expense I sometimes cannot afford.
So I sell models and ask for donations
and everything I earn from Model sales, donations, and related income...
goes straight back towards all my model related expenses*.
*This includes not just models, supplies and tools...
but also computer software and hardware upgrades,
and various related expenses for shows and paper model events.
I appreciate the question...
its nice to know I have some support and interest from other members.
hey...if I don't make enough for the trip this year, theres always next year, right?
