                        Various sources. Vendor tables at events, from fellow modelers, local hobby and craft stores and from my favorite full service online retailer as well as direct from other small mfrs like myself.

                        I get most of my older stuff off Ebay.  I usually have a couple of saved searches going on for specific stuff that I'm looking for.

                        New stuff I get from either Sprue Brothers or Squadron since our last LHS bit the dust several years ago.

                        Since I have moved to Australia from the US and gotten back into modelling, I have been doing ALOT of buying on ebay! I know some knock ebay, however, I have come across some rarities and some real deals so I would at least have a lok and see what you can find!!! Just do a search concerning scale and that's it. I type in 1/72 and am graced with 7-30 pages of stuff!!! HTHToast You can do the same with airbrush and details.

                         The great majority of my stash comes from contest vendor tables. Tons of great deals to be had, take cash!!!

                        Do you mean old model kits or models of older subjects, like classic cars?

                        On my workbench now:

                        It's all about classic cars now!

                        Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?
