I never knew how much you put into your hobby! You guys are dedicated!

This isn't my hobby, but I can't help but be inspired by the dedication of some of the frequent posters to this Lemmy community.

I happened to be in a place recently where these were being sold and got to see them for sale in the boxes for the first time. I had no idea how expensive some of these got! The silver one in the center frame was $99 and I saw others there price at $170! So not only is there a high cost to get the kit, but then all of the work you guys put into assembly (and painting?).

You've got something here you like doing. Keep being your awesome selves!
