Well, let's see...can't remember if it was AMT or Monogram that offered this, but my Grandmother got me a membership in the model of the month club when I was 6 or 7. Snap kits at first, then my Dad bought me my first glue together kit, an early '80's Ford truck. He assembled and painted it while I watched. After that....I shudder to think about how much I have spent on this hobby.
