    A stash. Please be very careful here gentlemen. Very careful. Earlier this year I found myself in the most unfortunate position of having a stash of none. Zero. This sad event occured just as I had - time on my hands ! It was a dark dark time for me, and wish that no one should go the same way that I did.

    However, I'm happy to report that I'm now much better with a stash of 3 and one W.I.P so, sort of 4 in my stash at the moment.

    Regards

    Colin M.......

          this sort of thing is what makes her upset with the eleven! She is certain I have no self control and I will get to have a stash in the hundreds.

            Well there is a small minority,comprising myself and ColinM as far as I can tell, who keep well into single figures. It can be done! Of course if you enjoy building a stash that's fine too,you may have to smuggle them in.

            Cheers

                I have around 18-20 in my little stash. My problem is I teand to build them amost as quick as I buy them.

                Some of the larger ones are set on hold though as I need to build a cabinet for them. The other one is stuffed full and does not do them justice!

                  I only have a stash of 8, but it will keep me busy for a long time, because they are mostly cars. And I like to punish myself because I want the perfect paint.

                  I'm not successful very often :lol:

                    I`m near the 30-40 mark but small dio bits/kits are included in that , unlike Ian I seem to buy 2-3 kits to every one I make at the moment , the plan is now to get one nice kit a month when I get paid, also in that plan is if a great deal can be had on ebay then I will have some of that also , if I can keep my spending down to £40 a month I will be a happy man and my misses will be even more happier , but even with this plan I will be buying more than I can make in that time scale.

                    Happy days

                      is there room in the padded cell for me!!! I have my own strait jacket & everything,

                      I had to make an inventory recently as I felt things were getting out of hand & I intend putting a lot of kits up for sale, grand total 246 mostly aircraft.at my current build rate I will be about a 115 years old by the time I've done them all, anyone out there have the secret to immortality.

                      Off to euro militaire at folkstone next week to buy more,

                          So has anyone thought when they are all built where they will be stored?

                          I can imagine in many years to come there will be some sort of programme called Airfix in my Attic hosted by a celebrity made entirely of plastic!

                                I don't have a stash, I have a retirement fund that I've been slowly building up in the attic for most of my adult life. A lot of it also consists of steam boat hulls, boilers, engines and other associated 'stuff' all coming with considerably more ideas than time. As to how many there are there the last guy I sent still hasn't come back yet!!
