Mark - I'm lucky, the wife attends shows with me (I don't drive) and brings her wallet with her
. At one show , after I had spent £100 at a bring and buy stall, within 20 minutes of arriving, she brought out the purse, gave me the £100 back so I could carry on spending and then said "there's a cash machine across the road"!
It's not really finding the money that's a problem and I'm not saying the work and standard of work available isn't worth the cost, but what is the reasoning behind the move to 75mm if not initially to reduce the costs? After all, 90mm figures aren't that much bigger. It just seems to me that 75mm prices are creeping up and surely there's less metal for your buck than in a 90mm. Isn't there? If not cost what is the advantage?
Take Alexandros Models. I have bought their 90mm Tomoe Gozen (currently £67.75 at Historex) I am a Japanese enthusiast and felt it well worth it, but I am reluctant to spend £95.55 (Historex price), for a 75mm Gwannggato the Great. I suppose that is not unreasonable for what you get, but as it's not really my main area of interest, nearly £100 for an impulse buy is hard to justify to myself. I would also like Pegaso's 90mm, mounted Murat - but £171.30!!!!
I have bought a lot of stuff second hand and both Mil-Art And Verlinden stuff but that is no help when you're drooling at the Pegaso stand at Euromilitaire. Not many people getting rid if their Gwannggatos recently
