Blimey Paul, that is some stash. You even have two Jap Zeros that are the same kit. I can only assume that you are single or have a very understanding partner.
She was very understanding.... She would say I don't drink/smoke/gamble/go to football or fishing etc so she actively encouraged me with model making..... She loved to see the finished project........ I lost her to cancer in 2022, she was the best thing that ever happened to meBlimey Paul, that is some stash.

The zeros were Aldi specials...... Forgot I'd already bought one so ended up with two lol
Scary thing is there's an auction house a few miles from me that every three months have a kit specific auction...takes all day.... Next one is Thursday and I've been eyeing up a few lots but now I'm trying to work out what I can send them to make some room!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, lovely looking Mk2 Jag (racing) might have to search one of those out, one of my fave cars ever, also like the Tryrell 6 wheeler F1 car.... Damn it, now I have to buy more kits!!! 
Mk2 Jag - I'd like one. For real - not a lot. A 3.8 in white.

Good luck finding a jag.... I think it's been out of production for a decade or two...but I might be wrong... I was given that one for nothing
Yeah don't think I've ever seen one of those kits, thats why it stood out to me.... might find one at one of the shows, I'll keep me eyes peeled...Good luck finding a jag.... I think it's been out of production for a decade or two...but I might be wrong... I was given that one for nothing
Mathewson has a 2.4 1967 in white in June's auctionMk2 Jag - I'd like one. For real - not a lot. A 3.8 in white.
Found you one but there's a catch
This is an auction house not far from me..... There's one in a lot..... Auction is on thursday
Sorry to hear that Paul.
Thanx, but I'll give it a miss, none of the others in that lot appeal, although the Lotus looks interesting too, Lol. I'll keep an eye out, I'm sure one will come up on its own at some point...
Impressive stash! seems you have all your spare time filled for the forseeable decades!

I see the problem, you have two NSR500 kits. I can help you out, just send me one. 
One is half built..... The decals self distructed so need to find a new set or better still an alternative schemeI see the problem, you have two NSR500 kits. I can help you out, just send me one.
Had an impulse buy on Amazon...... Two storage racks for less than twenty five quid!..... Now I know exactly wot I got 
Hopefully will have the Man Cave finished in the next few days..... Taking some sorting out.... Then I can get back to building

Well, pardon me, Sir, but that is an impressive rack you have there! If I may be so bold!
Of course, when it comes to the next build, it will probably take a long while looking and a few select -> put back -> select iterations too. Good luck on the choosing.

And out of that lot I don't have a Mig for the Mig GB! Lol
Well technically I can start building again 
Bench is set up, tools and gubbins set out how I want them, shelves full of models, racks full of supplies, paint all sorted out
All I need to do is bodge a spray booth which will go where I stood to take the pics........ And some suitable pics on the walls as I find some
Got stuff to do the next few days so plan on breaking open a box on Monday..... Yippee
It's been very satisfying setting things up just how I want them

Are you not a teeny little bit tempted to not do any modelling and just sit down, and admire the glorious setup? At least for a while, anyway. It is not going ever be quite so organised once you start.
There's probably a name for that in clinical psychology, I also have that condition, it's so satisfying to have everything set up ready to go, seems a shame to mess it up by actually using it!
I'm the same with opening a kit box, cutting the tape that holds on the lid, pulling open the plastic bags that hold the sprues, ruining it's perfection!
Of course this could possibly be just crazy old me!!
Miko (wibble!)
