As far as "collecting Themes" I have to agree. I started out in the 70's with a "wargaming" bent, going quantity over quality (luckily before 1/2400s came out, otherwise I'd probably have a bevy of those). Around the 90's started viewing the colorful merchant vessels more closely, and now like the wood ships of the 30' and 40's when budget allows. There are many detours, so if can't find a special gem in one collection, often may find something in another venue of interest (thanks to the Internet).
I had a hand in painting, but still consider it a bit of a chore. My skills are no-where near those of Stuart and Slavi, as well as other skillful practitioners.
Thanks, Ralph, for an opportunity for mental meandering.
Cheers
