2. New Pages Shown in 2013

2013 is probably the most productive year ever, with 25 new pages (parts) shown. That's 56% increase from 2012 in which total pages shown was 16. To show the contents of all 25 new pages would be lenghty and time consuming. Anyone interested may check my Model Maniac Forum for such details.

3. In General

The problem of display space is now critical, all my display cases in and out of my showroom are nearly full, with no space to place new ones. Also I still have a huge collection of unbuilt kits, and to keep them out of reach of termite has become a headache. Devastated twice lately a few months apart, I think I'll have to move and check all my stash every other month from now on. I'm not in buying mode or mood any more, I've got too much already!
