I'm glad that most of my gaming has moved to 10mm, as I find it good on the value front, with enough detail to keep me happy on the painting front and looking good on the table. <br /><br />I won't go into the realm of 2mm and 3mm gaming after your comments when we last met!!!Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-86617088220262419032012-03-21T20:52:53.450+00:002012-03-21T20:52:53.450+00:00Hi Keith.

But I think I realised I had better things to spend £50 on in this particular case.<br /><br />Glad to hear you're enjoying the painting again. I'm working on a few things myself and as you say it can be therapeutic. And of course I'm always ready for a game if you need an opponent. Good to hear from you.<br /><br />Cheers, Keith.Keith Flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903769462646267048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-26499037321969293302012-03-20T20:04:07.497+00:002012-03-20T20:04:07.497+00:00Hi Keith.

Since Christmas I have been getting back into the hobby and I had quite forgotten just how therapeutic the painting can be. Who know, I may even get gaming again before long, if your up for it!

It seems like there is a tipping point where on one side dropping a couple of hundred dollars on hobbies is negligible while on the other it is irresponsible at best. I am continually amazed at the number of people who can drop a few thousand dollars a year on hobbies and gadgets without blinking. <br /><br />I'm glad that I took up homecasting before I retired and that I actually really like a lot of 1/72nd plastics. <br /><br /> -RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-84609053293280687772012-03-17T21:34:50.567+00:002012-03-17T21:34:50.567+00:00I feel your pain on this - postage is a real kille...I feel your pain on this - postage is a real killer for most things and Australia Post has high costs.<br /><br /> Even though I live 'close-ish' to Eureka the cost of postage hurts a bit for me too.<br /><br /> Australia isn't alone here - the number of companies in the US that charge outrageous postage costs (cough old glory cough) prevents me from buying from them too. <br /><br /> What makes it worse is that there are cheaper postage rates in the US - these companies just don't offer them in their checkouts.<br /><br /> For Eureka's defence - they only charge the actual cost of postage.<br /><br />Solution?
