330 kits at your current build rate will last you the next 600 years 
Get some glue and paint thrown at them

At least that Graham! Some of them are BIG kits.
My stash - 10 kits, estimated total value c. £1,000.... I try to keep it to 10 models and, ideally, I want it reduced to well under 10. But I keep getting tempted....
One can never have enough kits and I'm starting to worry. I already have more than enough to surpass my expiry date.So it begs the question are we hoarders or modellers. I'll stilll buy another if i see one I like as you never know they might all go out of production. 330 kits Dave you'll have to work like rumplestilskin to get through all those. But good luck building them in your retirement I can only dream and look forward to those times. Cheers John
Lost track of mine but there are a few... I want to make a list as well now.
In my defense, I had not bought much in a long time, then I had a bit of a spree again. Whoops.
I must admit that the chances of building even half of those I have are pretty slim. I am considering a thin out sale...(so I have room and money for some of the new released kits. lol )
330 is a big stash Gern. More in fact than the nearest model shop to me has!

I guess we all see new kits we like the look of and think: "I'd like to have a go at that one. I could ......."
If you're anything like me, with the attention span of an onion bhaji, by the time I've got the kit I fancy, I've been tempted by another one.
It's a good job I wasted some of my pennies on the pension I'm going to lose for the next 12 months! Only the Gods know how many I'd have otherwise! Every cloud eh?

Need a picture Dave. Just so I can show the wife my 6 kits are more than reasonable.

Good heavens...........................
Very nice Dave. What scale is the A7 Corsair in the next to last picture ?

Ooooo, I like the Revell City Liner coach. Not many cars though Dave, you need to buy some
Yes I have been looking for the revell cityliner for years with no luck,and I thought I had a lot with 40
Well I must be the straggler in accumulating kits as I possibly only have around 35 kits still in boxes not started etc that I can see ( don't know what's in the garage of late as there's a trailer in there at the moment so can't get to my boxes. I kmow I have room for more but it's just finding the time, then I have around 20 I have started and lost the old mojo for........ However I have about 19yrs left to work before I can take retirement. When I buy a kit and it comes through the door via our freindly postie the wife always says the same " what you bought now another model blah blah blah .
Well I say roll on retirement.
I would love to model all day every day and I would defo get through my stash !!!

Robert

When I retired about 5 years ago I had a vision of backpacking trips and model aeroplanes. Do you know how many I've made?
An F-89 Scorpion that has been painted, but no decals yet
About halfway through a Defiant
I have about 35 - 40 unmade kits
that's mostly because I discovered a new hobby - knife making. Search TheNet & YouTube, especially www.britishblades.com
Just tried the link, it doesn't seem to work, so put it directly into Google. You might get a page telling you all about downloading some rubbish or other. The trick is to click back to Google and try again. this is a right pain, but it works. Don't close down, just click back

Thanks guys.
Col (Colin M) - you did ask.
Ian - it's the 1/32 Trumpeter kit.
Col (Bigfoot) - I wish I could build them at one per month!
Graham & Peter - It's a very nice kit going for stupidly high prices on ebay. Yet it was almost being given away a few years ago. I think Revell stopped making it and shops were trying to clear their shelves. Much the same happened to their 1/72 Snowberry - I remember seeing it at one of the shows a few years ago going for £20 - odd.
I don't have any real interest in cars other than as a means of transport - I have even less interest in building models of them I'm afraid.
Rob - I have the same problem. I sometimes lose interest in a build when something else comes along to tickle my fancy (Ooooooohhh!). You need to think about keeping your kits in the garage though. Cold and damp doesn't do the decals any good.
As for the comments from SWMBO - ask her how many pairs of shoes she has! But be careful! You could end up here:
She told me we couldn't afford beer anymore and I'd have to quit.
Then I caught her spending £45.00 on make-up, and I asked how come I had to give up stuff and not her.
She said she needed the make-up to look pretty for me.
I told her that was what the beer was for -
I don't think she's coming back.
Zuludog - Despite having the time now, I still manage to find lots of distractions which keep me from my bench. Still, modelling is a fun thing to me and I do it as and when I want. I'm not going to force myself to do something I'm not really in the mood for just to get a kit finished.

Yes, you have to be in the mood
A friend makes military vehicles & AFVs. He said when he retired he made a couple 'mechanically', and they looked it. Fairly soon afterwards he scrapped them and started again after a few months when he was in the right frame of mind; they were much more satisfactory
