discussion Some Modelling statistics....

[BarryW]

Some find them boring and maybe a bit OCD. But statistics and figures go with my job and they do fascinate me.


This morning, early in my office with my cleaner working around me I had a look back at my 'Modelling statistics'...... I add my stash to a spreadsheet and tick them off when done so this was easy to do....


Models completed since returning to the hobby in September 2011: 25


Average time to complete a model: 2 months


1/72 aircraft: 1


1/48 aircraft: 7


1/32 aircraft: 16


1/24 aircraft 1


Airfix: 4


Italiari: 1


Academy: 1


Tamiya: 5


Hasegawa: 5


Zoukei-Mura: 1


Revell: 2


Special Hobby: 1


Dragon: 1


Eduard: 1


Hobbyboss: 1


Trumpeter: 2


All WW2 props apart from the ZM and Academy


Plus 3 models unfinished - a Special Hobby Aircobra, AFV Club Centurion, terrible kits, poorly engineered and not fun at all. Plus the Trumpy 1/32 Avenger that was missing its turret, still sat unfinished and will now probably not be finished. May get another.


Stash: 10 - 7 Tamiya and 3 Trumpeter, one on the bench, Hasegawa. All 1/32


4 Spitfires built (all 1/48), 3 in the stash and 1 more wanted.


Currently most desired kit to buy - the HKM Mosquito...


Have you any stats?

i used to visit the Airfix forum many years ago, til it lost its appeal, and it was a habit there that people had a little matrix in their sig of what they had bought/built over the years..........ive always kept it going on a forum ive been a member of for donkeys years


A = bought B = Built C = sold/binned/got rid of


2009 A:72 B:31 C:4 ....2010 A: 50 B: 27 C: 21.......2011 A: 45 B: 25 C: 2 .....2012 A:25 B:19 C:2


2013 A:25 B:15 C:2.....2014 A:29 B:16 C:0...........2015 A:0 B:3 C:0


i seem to have really slowed down this year

Does too much to build before I die count as a statistic?

 

[Richi72]

Stash probably around 25 figurine models in 1/35 so lots of building there.


Tanks and Cars about 20 all in 1/35


OK so here is mine 2014 I bought 3 models, build 2 of them


Startet 3 Dioramas, sold 2 of them, Last one not finished yet (Market Garden)


2015 bought 2 models didn't start either of them 1/24 Huey and a Horch 15 which I want to convert into an ambulance..


Average building time for a model about 6 months, exception large Dioramas which take over a year or more to build


Cheers Richi

Depends on how far you have to go before you die Alan. May not be worth the candle.


1/72 8 find that amazing. One in the cupboard a Stranaar then no more 1/72s


1/48 9 on 9 and on the shelf Favourite scale


1/24 Lysander. OK in this scale but will only build if eye sight or fingers get the jitters.


Oil Drums 10


Figures 28 soldiers that is


Kitbags no idea.


I claim immunity on the manufacturers types. Forgotten as 100 brain cells emigrated with each model completed never to return. Little buggers.


Want to get models put on hold. Back to : "Depends on how far you have to go before you die. May not be worth the candle"

PS where can I get refurbished brain cells ?

Mmmmm now let me see..... Ok


1 ruined and thrown away


1 built


3 more victims cowering in the corner

 

[john i am]

Sorry my stats are crap but I've brought loads built some threw one up the wall and still have loads left to build but the trend seems to be I buy more than I can ever build.i just soooooooo love retail therapy and hoarding but the most pleasure I get is keeping them as a guilty secret from the other half its almost like having another woman up in the loft

OK but need to know your IQ first John ? Your political stance. Confirmation of your sex. The mileage of the refurbished cells. Finally do you have excessive sexual tendencies ? Plus have all the cells the same quality as I have enough rogue ones without increasing the number. To save time I am mostly male.


These being answered in an acceptable fashion we should meet to agree an acceptable cost per cell.

Politics = none of them as there all pants


Sex= male last time I looked


Mileage of cells 0 never been used


Sexual tendencies n/a as one has to do it to have a tendency twice a year doesn't really count(she's gone off the boil I think )


All the cells are of the same quality empty


Cost free as long as you don't spoil my good looks on extraction

Sounds absolutely perfect John. When can we meet ?


Laurie


Twice a year now that will be an improvement.

Not as such but I do have an inventory which I put a completed date on when finished so I have some figures handy. I'll use your format Barry.


Models completed since returning to the hobby in May 2012: 30

1/72 Scale: Aircraft (28) Vehicles (1) Tanks (1)


Airfix : 18


Academy: 1


Italeri: 3

Stash: 58 (2 x 1/32 aircraft, 1 x 1/48 aircraft, 3 x 1/72 vehicles, 52 x 1/72 aircraft). Built more than I have bought in the last two years, many of these are remnants from a previous modelling life.

 

[BarryW]

I'd forgotten one of mine, a single 1/72 so updated figures. For some reason it was not on my spreadsheet....
