My stash is building (slowly)......

[PaulTRose]

currently stands at 122....with another couple via ebay on the way....used to be more but i made a conscious decision to only buy something if it was something i really needed or was an absolute bargain

i took up this lark again in 2006.....i went on a bit of a spree buying stuff.....ive got kits that i bought back then still in the stash, and i have every intention of building them once i master the tricks i need to do them justice

i lso get preiods of unemployment so when im working i buy kits and paint and supplies, then when im out of work and cant afford to buy stuff i have a selection to pick from (or even sell if need be to make some cash)

My view on stashes has changes over the years. I'm of the opinion now that they're a fairly stupid idea - and this is from a guy that has over 300 kits! (that sum includes figures as well)

I'm now working on the assumption that if I complete, say, 6 a year for the rest of my life I will still not complete them all. They also become outdated as newer more detailed kits become available and they obviously take up a lot of space. The one upside is that some kits become incredibly rare (take the 1/35 landing Craft Assault I had in my collection) but generally these are the exception to the rule.

Don't want to be down on anybody's collection or enthusiasm for the hobby (far from it) but just wanted to air a reality check.

Cheers

Mine is currently at seven. Just about to start on the 1/32 scale Tamiya Birdcage Corsair. I also have the 1/24 scale Airfix Typhoon on order

Ive got around 40 kits.Although that's mainly because I bought 30 for not much money off the wife of a work mate who died last year.Even with that many it's taken me a couple of weeks to decide what to build next!.

The good news is that in November Tamiya are bring out a later version of the aircraft...

I have my 'birdcage' so I will give this next release a pass (at least for now) but if I were you I would snap it up....
