Linda White here, just turned 41 (but feel 21
), collecting since 1974 and showing since the 80's.
At its largest my collection numbered 450, though my collecting interest has changed in the past few years from OF Breyers to resins and CM's that I paint myself so I have been selling off the Breyers to make room. Cutrrently I have 280 models and it may shrink more as I narrow my collecting and showing focus.
I am a hobby "do it yourselfer", I paint models and make almost all of my tack and props. I love live showing and performance showing in particular. I am always looking to improve my hobby skills and usually have several projects going at once.
I hope we get all current Region X'ers and newbies to join! - this could be a great resource to novices and a good way to meet other local hobbyists and help each other out!
