Not really, I wish I was that sensible, over the last few months I've just hoovered up 1/72 Spits like the world was about to end, loads of decals too.
You're going the right way about it.

For the other guys, they may have been collected over the years when kits were really really cheap maybe?
I do it only when I see a good deal and if its worth it. If not forget it! Over ten dollars on ebay and I won't buy it.
I can't understand you guys. I know those kits are not cheap, but most of you guys have more kits that you can build
during your lifetime. You have a lot of money sitting in a closet, or a spare room. Why do you do it ??
Somebody 'splain it to me ??

What Heinz said and...err...um
At least my modest 23 are all earmarked for specific builds, and should keep me going for the next 18 months or so....er...maybe. I've just worked it out, if I was to go out to the pub, say, twice a week, at current UK pub prices, I'd probably spend at least £20 (probably more!), over a total period of around 7 hours. So that's £2.85 per hour of 'entertainment'.
The average kit costs me around £15, and keeps me occupied for around 50 to 70 hours, plus research which, on average, is another 20 hours (often much more). So that's maybe 80 hours, for example, of 'entertainment', at less than 19 pence per hour!!
Even adding the cost of paint etc, which, of course, is used for numerous 'builds', it'll still be well under 50 pence per hour!!
Not too bad really!
Jumpin' Jupiter Daniel!!! That stash is so big you had to take it outside to photograph it!!!
You've got more plastic than American Express man!
