AlanG Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 In the same boat Phil. Although i'll quite gladly add a few 1/32 Fw190 A5/A6 kits to the stash if they ever came up to buy on evilbay (for a price i could actually afford). I've seen some 'stashes' and they would make Hannants feel inadequate. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I should be doing a stock take... but I fear my stash will have increased beyond 70 kits. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumm Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Carl, I'm pretty sure we've seen you with 14 kits on the bench this past year, let alone just that many in the stash. Focus Man! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Wow, only 14? We need to work on increasing that number... I have that many on my bench just in the build rotation! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the counting didn't take too much of your lifetime , no Excel needed for doing the adds. It's quality that counts not quantity.

GusMac Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Don't feel bad Phil, I can't count mine on the fingers of one hand! Tend not to buy unless it's going to get built soon. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend not to buy unless it's going to get built soon. I try to stick to that concept, ironically I don’t feel bad, I’d be more worried in seeing stacks of stuff knowing there was a snowflakes chance in hell of building them........... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I *just* have a few more than you, Phil (and will not dare to show a pic ). I still believe I will build them all, assuming I do not get sidetracked like now, where I am focused on designing and 3D printing the components of a 1/32 (of course) Travel Air Mystery Ship ...

Ok, since you asked ... Overall view ... And split views ... It fills a volume of about 1.3 cubic meter (3.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 ), plus a bit of overspill of ship kits above the wine cellar ... The "magic room" is actually also the attic and "machine room" with a bench opposite the shelves holding the various machines like 3D printers and ancillaries, metal lathe, vertical milling machine, CNC mini-milling machine, vac-forming one, etc.... So, the analogy with a ship is not far away : hold + workshop in one place Hubert 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that many, yes ... Although the stash is predominantly resin stuff (the white cardboard boxes you see) like Fisher, Aerotech, HPH, Lukgraph, Silver Wings, Montex and the like. Besides the Fisher ones, which have become rarer than hen’s teeth because of the Paradise fires, there are even rarer ones, like a Scratchbuilder Staggerwing ....

ScottsGT Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 A very old pic. I get in the habit of wanting to build different variations of different aircraft. I guess it’s why I have about 7 F-16’s and 13 Phantoms still in the stash. Trying to convince myself I need to get rid of some of these multiples. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 well................. it 'was' way over 300 of all scales, but is now down to about 175ish...... of all scales... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 My problem is when 'deals' come along. A large portion of my stash is second-hand kits that I got usually for 1/2 or less of retail. For instance, Saturday I bought a Dragon Sturmhaubitze 42' w/Zimmerit and a Dragon SdKfz 250/9 in 1/35 scale for under $31 US. Usually, one of my club members will send an e-mail to all of the members listing what he wants to sell. By sending an e-mail. stuff gets set aside for you before the meeting. Apparently I beat 7 other guys to the Sturmhaubitze. I really should neaten up and take a pic or three of my stash for you guys. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
