Post your stash!

[N4521U]

Guys I have got to stop buying kits!! I was going through the stash tonight and I was like I could build a kit a month for the next 15 years and I may may finish everything and that is just the plastic stuff I know I do not even come close to some of what you guys have with my estimated 180 kits but damn I am better stocked than my LHS.I have a hard time picking what is next and what scale, I know I know not a bad problem to have just alot of interest out there.

You don't have a nice 1/48th P-40N in there you can't get to do you???? GB20, the only Aboriginal Australian pilot of WWII is my intended project!

No Bill sure don't just looked got AMT P40K conversion kit,P40B Trump and the Hobbycraft P40 F/L Checkertails and none of those types have that greenhouse canopy.Sorry is GB20 an Aussie or P40 build?

Just an update on my disease. The Airfix 1/24 Spitty is really a 1/24 Trump MK5 Tropical. Had to throw the boxes out to fit in my luggage. Next time I will just fold them up. What the hell was I thinking

 

[N4521U]

If I had that many stacked around the place, I would be out on me ear!!!!!!
And they're all Monsters............ most ofem.

What is the scale of the hat that can be seen in the last picture?

BTW.. a nice collection there.

 

[Wayne Little]

Done ok there!

 

[Airframes]

I think the hat is 12 scale!
There's two problems to working in larger scales - where to store the unmade kits, and where to put the finished models!
I'd like to have a complete collection in 1/32nd scale, although some types are not available, but it's just totally impractical. Therefore, I have the main lot in 1/48th scale, and a few 'specials' in 1.32nd scale, displayed separately.

I wish I could get a Supermarine Walrus and a FW-200 Condor in 1/32

 

[vikingBerserker]

Now those would be pretty sweet!

 

[Airframes]

Sure would - but you'd need an exceedingly large room in which to display them, alongside the rest of 1/32nd scale collection. I'd like the 1/32nd scale Mitchell and Lancaster, but with wing spans of over 25 inches and 38 inches respectively, it's just not practical. And hanging them from the ceiling is an insult to the kit, the size of the model, and the work that goes into them.

Well said Pal. I agree with that entirely. Amen.

Why do you guys do this ???

Most of you have more models/kits than you can build in a lifetime. In that stash of kgambit's, there must be several
hundred dollars worth of kits. In another thread [What's on the workbench] guys posted pic's of closets full of model
plane kits. Some guys have room's full ! Altho I don't do plastic scale models, I never buy more than two balsa/tissue
flying models at a time. {There are 94 kits in that pic of kgambit's}

Anybody have an explanation or a reason ???

Due to incoming grandchild, my stash and I have been banished to my unfinished basement. For me Charles, if I see something that is 30 to 40% off retail and has free shipping I buy it(91+6 in various states of build if you're counting).EDIT:Just noticed I have 4 Hobbycraft nightmares left.

Hope it's dry under those stairs George. I had a leak over one of my storage shelves a few years back and lost the decals for several models. After that I put all the decals in zip-lock bags, the instructions too if they will fit, that way worse case moisture and dampness will damage the box at most.

 

[N4521U]

And if you are Realllly worried about that, and you have a 1/48th P-40N in that stash, I can make sure it never gets wet!!!

Just sayin.

You are slicker than snot on a doorknob!
Wish I had one of those for you. Always wanted to have something I donated in a museum.

 

[N4521U]

I really thought this would be taken with tongue in cheek...... I thanks you for your contribution Geo!!!!!!!

Paul, it Is the thought that counts, I know you're all behind me!
I'm sure everyone would if it could be afforded......
