    This kind of thread surfaces quite often and I have posted pics of my stash in the past. Now I couldn't care less about what people have in their stash or be bothered to list/take pics of mine, for me it's all about building not buying models.
    Same goes for the 'Latest Acquisition' thread - I just don't care.
    I know it won't matter - people will still post in these kinds of threads and good luck to you but I think there's far more interest in an actual build log.
    This is not meant to offend, it's just that when you've been on the forum a long while some topics keep coming back - like Groundhog Day.
    This is only my opinion though.
    Cheers
    Paul

        Is that A-10 a good kit?
        Thinking of starting a jet stash. Also, what scale is it?

          My wife has that hobby too. :sleeping2:
          I don't have a wife any longer - that's why I can spend so much on my hobby! :tongue-out3:
          From a pure financial point of view it's the best deal I've done in my life... hehe...

          Two kits I really, really, really wanted but bailed out in the end are now out of stock/production and that bothers me a lot so that's partly why I bought so many kits last year.
          I might not build them for another year or two - but at least I've got them!

            Well, they always float around on forum sales. For example, I was always after the Eduard Limited Top Falcons. 1500 were produced in a limited edition format. Then it popped up here and I acquired it. It may be out of production, but it doesn’t mean it is gone

              The two I hesitated on were probably the last two on eBay and they haven't been seen since...
              I hope they pop up one day and at a reasonable price, but this I doubt since they both were pretty limited to begin with.
              The current plan is to fabricobble one of them with the help of a 3D printer and a lot of putty and sanding, but it's a simpler model so it's perhaps possible?

              It's all part of the hobby I guess?!

                All good fun, I guess, but like Paul, I too have contributed to this type of thread on here in the past. So I guess it is a bit 'Groundhog Days'

                .....but still interesting to see member's collections.....and more importantly, the awful excuses for such mammoth collection of plastic!...:smiling::thumb2:

                  It's not as bad as I had read online, I've got a build thread going here: http://scale-models.co.uk/threads/bo...-2#post-370951. I only paid £10 for it so I'm happy enough. It's 1/48 scale, but a lot bigger in real life than I expected. I'm going to need a bigger shelf.

                  By all accounts the Hobby Boss kit is the best one to go for.

                      It's a sub section in the marketplace it should show up under the marketplace header.

                          Here is my little stash compared to you guys. A few tanks and a fee figure kits and one wingy thing ...


                          And here are my books...

                          And my films...

                          And finally a look inside the cave of completed builds and dioramas....

                            Here is the bulk of the books on modelling and military history, there is another stack on the kindle. There is a fairly ecletic mix.

                              Thats what I keep telling myself Jens!!! Ive only got about 70 in my stash -still more than enough to last till im about 200 years old at current build rate - but I know that 70 is small change compared to some of the big guns out there!

                                I thought I had a lot until I saw some others' stashes, so here's my modest pile:
                                [ATTACH]302206[/ATTACH]
                                Above on the left is the end of the box of a 1/350 Bismarck kit awaiting it's turn, and there are 5 1/72 vehicles currently in the diorama pipeline which I will complete this year (promise!).
                                The big white box is a box of SuperTrees, and the lower boxes are some HO wood craftsman kits from Kanamodel.

                                I like to keep to the same scale (mostly 1/35) when possible, gives a better frame of reference regarding the relative size of the subjects, but you can pack in so much with 1/72 it's hard to resist at times!
