While I was building last night, and pondering my fleet as the epoxy cured. I got thinking.. How many different manufacturers do I have / does my fleet represent. And is one more favorable than another?
I asked this as I am build two Madcow kits. This brings my Madcow brand kits up to about 5. I have 1 LOC kit, and 3 Binder Design, as well as one Wildman and 1 old Scale Kits AMRAAM.. And, I have a PML AMRAAM to round out the HPR range..
I have about 7 Fliskits, and a few Thrustline kits still, as well as a few TLP kits. I have a slew (too many to count! Estes kits, and a number of scratch builts & clones. These would be the bulk of my fleet, putting LPR in the majority.
Do I favour one manufacturer over another? I dont think so. I buy what appeals to me. Madcow seem to be becoming the Estes of the HPR world. (Have they surpassed LOC, offering a greater kit count?!) I love Fliskits for the designs, and the range he offers, everything from simple 3FNC to elaborate Skill level 5 sci-fi / fantasy interstellar cruisers. I love Binder for his kit layout & designs.
I do try to get a kit form each manufacturer out there, but Im obviously falling a bit short..
Do you tend to buy across the board? Or stick with a tried & true manufacturer?
