Ole, I'd love to have a desk like yours but the missus would kill me. And Allyne - I'm impressed by the size of your stash (so to speak!)

Hi Robert,everyone ends up with some kind of stash! I know some of my contemporaries,who have been modelling for longer than they care to remember,have literally hundreds of models (and thousands of pounds) in their stashes. I have tried desperately not to build up a huge stash of models which I will never build,even if I live as long as Methuselah,and consequently have a very modest stash in single figures.

If I don't buy a particular kit in which I'm interested,I know another one will be along sooner or later!

If it's any consolation I think that I'm an exception to the rule.

Cheers

I also seem to be an exception to the rule as i only buy a specific model kit (or kits) when i've decided what i'd like to build. i have no stash as such .. maybe an unfinished project here and there, or some spare figures from kits in a box, i like to try to build and complete before i move on to something else.

Often thought about having some unbuilt kits knocking around though i must say.

In my experience we are a definite minority Colin. I too only build one model at a time and will finish that before moving on. I know many people will have several projects on the go simultaneously. I also tend to spend time researching my builds which to some extent precludes having several running at once.

Each to their own I suppose. I have one friend who builds several at a time to a museum (some are in museums) standard. Some take more than a year to complete! I have no idea how he keeps track of them all

Yes one model at a time.

Had to multi task in my career from early on & found this not only not a problem but at times very exciting in decision making. But not model making strange !

Decided on my 2 & 3rd build I would construct a Hurricane & Spitfire in tandem. Mainly as on the first model I found I was kicking my heels waiting for drying mostly (wretched enamel). I was surprised to find it did not work. I took a shine to the Hurricane & the Spitfire was left behind.

Also as soon as I heard about these "stashes" I thought they are mad buying all those models. But I seem now to have about 10 & growing. Mine increased as when building a model & with the end in sight I decide this or that will be the next & buy. Only to find I finish the model & then change my mind. Did it last week Wellington finished on Friday night out of the stash a Catalina lined up the week before then a Beaufighter then went out on Saturday open minded strolled into the Model Shop & bought a Wessex Helicopter of which a Helicopter had not entered my mind.

Hi Steve thanks for the feedback, have about ten models to build if I see something I like at a good price I am sucked in, it is probably because i have turned into a wee boy again lol need to ease up now : )....

What about your ultimate in work stations ?

First a round room with windows all around, all windows with individual motorised blinds connected to a fully automatic heat/cooling/air cleaning system with a super lighting system. All looking out on the magnificent Jersey scenery. Toilet module in the middle with sink wash module.

Ceiling with suspension for models on a motorised track.

Separate stations around the room for cutting glueing, gritcolin & preparation. A super room for airbrushing with silent compressors & multi air brushes & silent filtered air cleaning system. Super airbrush cleaners. Paint selection room housing the complete selection of 5 of the leading paint manufacturers. Each station with a screen for the latest editions on Scale Models.

A super seat with every type of adjustment on the market. The seat on a motorised track the track giving access to each work station by joystick.

An essential sob room with a super bed fitted with a soft mattress for recovery from stress conditions. An audio system for music & audio aircraft & military noises.

A huge stash room to house 10,000 models. A model finished room with air & battle fields & a harbour for shipping. Naturally fittings revolving, rising & falling to give full visibility of the models. The walls aglow with towns, country & sky scenes constantly changing as if real.

A wife to make & bring sandwiches & bring the odd grin & tonic. Must not to forget the "I am summoning you intercom system". Naturally the wife does the summoning.

Think that would just about do me.

The only thorn in my ideas she would be in with the noisy vacumn cleaner every morning.

I am at the moment looking into a new shed. The old one has a leaky roof and I am fast coming to the conclusion that it will be just as cheap to build a new shed....

So I am waiting for the drawing from the builders merchant so I can run it by the council..... 9x3 metre; 6metre for me, the rest for the garden tools.

Once its built, insulated, wired up and plumbed in (maybe) I might be moving the model bench out there.
