Hmmm, my name is Darryl and I have a problem...
I *think* I am fairly safe with purchases from the hobby side for awhile. I have some holes to fill from the Nexus series, but they are not a priority. I know I will keep looking at various book titles (there are some Grub Street titles I want, and a couple of Schiffer ones as well), but hopefully I can slow down the buying frenzy until the next Ares series comes out.
Yeah, that lasted about five seconds...
So much for not buying...good a deal on two painted Shapeways Nieuport 28s that I just HAD to jump on. Thanks for feeding the addiction, clipper1801!
Okay, now I MUST slow down the hobby side of the frenzy...off to look at more books!
