I did start to keep a spread sheet but lost it a couple of pc's ago- Now I have a photo stash like Paul (Beowulf) and aslo just delete them when I build them. Its a lot easier than turning the wardrobe out every time I want to pick one!.
I counted mine up and there are 48. This includes some old kits that I had from decades ago and gifts. They are stored in one of those large plastic containers on rollers. Always tempted to buy the latest release, with the intention of selling outdated kits, but I actually enjoy building those old ones and so I don't get rid of them. They are all 1/72 except for a 1/32 P-47D and a 1/32 Hasegawa Mustang both of which Aaron from this forum kindly gave to me, and a solitary 1/48 Monogram P-51D. I do feel much better about it though, 328 Dave!
I have aprox 30 tanks and a number of minimart bases along with boxes of figures and accessories +4 ships that may never get built 0oh and 2 planes plus so many book I could open a library
Well my excuse for ferreting away kits is that when I eventually retire I will not just be doing the garden in my retirement plus by then I should have a big spare bedroom to play in with loads of space for made and unmade kits and there's always ebay sell them all and have a nice holiday somewhere so I look on them as an investment lol
It's the Academy 1/72 P-38 Lightning, which I bought to cannibalise the drop tanks for something else. I'll start to build it fairly soon. Clearly there is something missing from my life!
I have 3planes 4 cars 1 tank and 2 figures but if you count plans for scratch built I have 23 ship plans 4 of which are started. So my stash of kits is very small but I plan big.
Ahhh!! Sorry Steve My main idea was better than those little kits ops:
The next time
No sorry, please! They are great little kits and I'm looking forward to building them. I intend to do the Fw 190 and Ju 88 together.
I've had to change the colour of some of the undercarriage on my current Corsair build in the light of new information (to me anyway) which has delayed it a bit. When it's finished I'll start a thread for the 'little' kits.
3 aircraft. Walsrus 1/72. Beaufighter Tamiya 1/48. Gladiator 11/72 first I bought and then baulked as it seemed at the time difficulty. Do not really like 1/72 or after one 1/32 that either. After a long build a 1/72 is a good relaxe excercise
8 Afghanistan Airfix Herrrick total range 1/48 Armoured vehicles plus a Lynx helicopter. All to be in a scenic display including the Merlin. Cannot call it a diorama as it is to display the models and not portray a story.
Plus 1/48 Merlin Airfix Herrick near finished when I have resurrected my make over of the bedroom/MODEL ROOM.
Boats non although have not ruled that out. I think.

C'mon Doug! You can't be serious about limiting yourself to NO CHOICE in what to build next!
11, 10 aircraft and 1 small Emhar tank. They are mainly to hone my technique, the original mossie was a joke - 1/48 Spitfire I'm currently on is nearly finished (decals and final finish), then 1/72 B24 which I've primed and given a single coat, also an old Tamiya 1/48 A10 which is also primed. So one of them next, probably the A10 which will be factory finish - no weathering, then weathering on the B24 - when I've gone through the stash the two I want to get perfect are the Eduard FW190-7 and Eduard "Good Morning Da Nang" F4.
No more models until I have my man cave as I want (just need to get some shelving done for the paints) and then display shelves and completed a few models.
300+ - Good Grief I'd be emasculated, killed, buried, dug up and have it all done again!

Well, though I'd like to pretend it was some kind of zen-like self discipline, to be honest it's more to do with having recently returned to the hobby, so I just haven't had the time to build a stash yet. I'm sure it'll happen.
