I always think my 72 scale builds look better viewed from a distance....I’m sure you’ll agree :smiling5:. But just for you mate....

A day of bad weather down here on the West Sussex coast yesterday so I was up in the attic rummaging about in the stash/built kit boxes.
Then I had the brainwave to lay them all out! then I thought “ I know, I’ll take a few pictures”....so I did.
Can’t believe that this was all I’ve built in the 10 yrs since I started making models:thinking:



There are another 5 or 6 that either being built or are waiting to go on bases. A quick bit of maths says I’m averaging 1 kit every 2 and a half months. So easily have enough in the the stash to last another 10 yrs:smiling5:

If you’d like to see anything in a bit more detail or want to now what the kit is, give me a shout.

What a collection Si.
Does the heat in the attic not effect them then. Ours seems so hot.

[Si Benson]

Hi John,
Well they are all kept in shoe boxes and apart from some smaller bits that seem to have come unstuck, the seem unaffected.

[Guest]

That's good to know Si running out of room here, have said to Christine they will have to go in the attic. She's suggested taking photos of all of them before I move any and to print them off .

Gordan Bennet Si, thats a factory !!

Very nice indeed

Hi Si
I'm another who does not seem to have a lot to show since taking up the hobby 9 years ago. Although I DO have a lot to show when it comes to pots of stuff guaranteed to produce stunning results (in someone else's hands!), eBay bargains that were just too good to miss and boxes full of junk that I'm sure will be useful some day. Ah well cheaper than beer and loose women and tolerated by the missus.
Quite a collection you have there including a car and sci-fi. You need a ship build now?

You built all THAT in 10 years? My haul seams quite meagre in comparison to you chap I think I started modelling at about the same time as you but I havent' built not even half of that :tongue-out3: :astonished:. Good to see a nice variety mate.

Cheers

Hi Jim,
I have flyhawks HMS Campbeltown on the Christmas/birthday list so might be lucky this year :thinking:

I think as hobby’s go, model making is not not so bad. My mate goes fishing and regularly spends hundreds on equipment, lake fees, camping stuff and consumable items....and a lot of the time he catches nothing:smiling5:

Hi Wouts,
Ok so I’ve built more....but my builds aren’t good enough to get published in magazines!! Quantity over quality in my case:smiling5:.

Bit harsh on yourself bud, I've seen quality builds of yours coming out last couple of years, liked the Tomcat, even with the upside down decals ^^

Nice collection Si. By my count that comes out to almost 5 models a year. Not bad. Cheers, Rick H.

Ok so I’ve built a few that have turned out better than I imagined....more luck than skill mate

Cheers Rick,
I need to increase the build numbers then....currently they arrive quicker than they get finished :flushed:
