How big is your stash?!?!

[Ian M]

The last time I counted I was up around 45-50. Not a vast stash, but as a good few of them are rather large boxes; 1/35 torpedo boats, x4 for example take up lots of room. three 1/48 lancasters also fill a good part of the wardrobe!

Otherwise its a mish-mash of 1/35 armour and 1/48 aircraft with a few 1/32 scale ones creeping in on the sly!

It seems to me some of you are collectors of kits as well as model builders! You know who you are Dave

I think my biggest excuse is that I have missed out on so many things I wanted, as they stopped the production even though they sold well. So now if I see a kit I want, I buy it.

Now I just have to live long enough to build them all. :-)

I blame this forum ! If you lot didn't build so many great models I wouldn't go out and buy them

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :P

I keep an Excel list of my stash. Sometimes it scares the hell out of me, looking at the amount of money spent, although my stash is not big.

I just made those excel list and quite surprised what i have in the stash, but happy to have them and will be able to build them in the future

I blame the model manufacturers, they keep releasing must have`s, it`s so hard to keep up

[PaulTRose]

my excuse was when i was out of work i couldnt afford to do much except on the cheap,.........when i got back into work and had money i went a little daft,.....stocked up on kits and paint and stuff for the next time i was unemployed....which did happen.......but the stash did grow rather large and swambo did cast a disapproving look when we moved and i brought it all down from the loft

these days i only buy if i really really want it (or its a rediculous bargain!)

what i do to keep track is when i take a picture of whatever i have bought to post in the 'look what i just bought' thread, that every forum has, i put it in a file called strangely enough STASH ..........its split down into armour, cars, bikes, planes, etc.........whenever a kit is built the pic is deleted....that way i have a visual 'virtual' stash on the laptop even though its all really in the loft

My stash...?

3 Tanks: Stug III (1/35), Tiger I (1/35), Renault FT (1/16)

4 Vehicles: Jeep SAS(1/35), German Truck (1/35), Citroen (1/35), RSO (1/35)

3 Planes: Henshel or similar...I never remember the name ops: (1/72), Focke 190 (1/72), Thypoon (1/24)

0 Sci-Fi: What...?

4 different set of figures 1/35, who knows when I will back to build dioramas again

PS: I don't count all the Land Rover kits, are not for build, they are part of my private collection

Anyway I have some started builds, that don't know if ever I will end them O_o

[Guest]

I've given up counting, but the closet is now full and spilling into the mancave. I know I'll probably never get to them all ,just ca'nt help adding to the pile.

Magpie model stash builder me if I see something I like I buy it I have even brought the same kit twice cause I've lost track of what I've got and have no inventory I will never build all the ones I have now but will that stop me buying more noooooo.......,... Way . I like the fact that you can have your own model shop in your own home . I keep all mine up in the loft away from prying eyes and sneak the odd one or two in when no one is looking.

It seems to me that with the exception of myself and rather few others, most people have a significant stash. This begs the question whether there are more purchased kits unbuilt and languishing in cupboards than there are kits built?

I suppose every one has his reasons...

In my case, I'm learning the modeling tips and techniques, so I build what I like or the model that can help me to learn new things. Sometimes I finish them, and others they go directly to the trash

I agree Steve, my main issue is space, nowhere to store them...either kits or the finished models, not both. Plus lack of funds and then the main reason...the wife.

[stona]

I know what you mean Si. Also I actually intend to build mine. The two 1/32 kits would keep me going for months, even if I didn't have to go away to work and the 1/72 kits sent by Polux are just a bonus

Cheers
