My expenses are in pretty much the same order as yours.

I haven't been buying much lately, but am still spending about the same....quality over quantity!

Plastic Model Hobby Expenditures: What Do You Spend Money On?
Posted by Sprue-ce Goose on Saturday, August 18, 2012 10:03 AM

After viewing a thread on face masks, I couldn't help wondering how much we spend on peripheral items compared to actual plastic models.

My largest expense since returning to the hobby is still plastic kits.

Next largest expense has been paint :  either Tamiya Acrylic or  Testors Enamel

Third : decals

A very small fourth: PE - one , 1/25th Aber Panther G set; one 1/232 Gold Medal Olympia and Oregon PE Set 

Misc : a 3M face mask for protection against vapors- specifically Tenax, rubber gloves, small storage bottles, liquid glue (prior to buying Tenax ), A Badger 150 airbrush

Tools are left over from the 1980s.

I do not yet have a spray booth

Question I have for my fellow builders:

What do you spend most of your hobby money on: kits, accessories , paint or tools, glue or misc. items?
