Stash

[Gern]

Amazin' how you accumulate stuff as you get older. Just finished cataloguing my stash -

330 odd kits with an estimated value of £6000!

- and that doesn't include any tools, paints, glues etc. or part-complete kits.

So plenty to be getting on with now I'm retired.

330 kits at your current build rate will last you the next 600 years

Get some glue and paint thrown at them

At least that Graham! Some of them are BIG kits.

My stash - 10 kits, estimated total value c. £1,000.... I try to keep it to 10 models and, ideally, I want it reduced to well under 10. But I keep getting tempted....

One can never have enough kits and I'm starting to worry. I already have more than enough to surpass my expiry date.So it begs the question are we hoarders or modellers. I'll stilll buy another if i see one I like as you never know they might all go out of production. 330 kits Dave you'll have to work like rumplestilskin to get through all those. But good luck building them in your retirement I can only dream and look forward to those times. Cheers John

Lost track of mine but there are a few... I want to make a list as well now.
In my defense, I had not bought much in a long time, then I had a bit of a spree again. Whoops.
I must admit that the chances of building even half of those I have are pretty slim. I am considering a thin out sale...(so I have room and money for some of the new released kits. lol )
330 is a big stash Gern. More in fact than the nearest model shop to me has!

330 do you have a spare barn to display them in when built mind you I have about 50 some with wingspans approaching 5ft or more in old money and ships exceding 4ft in length as well oh dear

I guess we all see new kits we like the look of and think: "I'd like to have a go at that one. I could ......."

If you're anything like me, with the attention span of an onion bhaji, by the time I've got the kit I fancy, I've been tempted by another one.

It's a good job I wasted some of my pennies on the pension I'm going to lose for the next 12 months! Only the Gods know how many I'd have otherwise! Every cloud eh?

Need a picture Dave. Just so I can show the wife my 6 kits are more than reasonable.

Good heavens...........................

Very nice Dave. What scale is the A7 Corsair in the next to last picture ?

[Bigfoot57]

Yikes with that amount and say an average build time of 1 month to allow for the quick builds against the more detailed slower builds you have about 310 months worth of building or about 25 years or so you will need to become immortal
