Spitfire Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) The house is in no danger of falling over just yet, up in the attic I have around 200 kits, I sold 100 a few years back to trim things back a mite but even so there are many kits in there that I will not build, in the total is 34 1/48 kits that I will definately not build but I could not be bothered selling them. I built up a large stash to see me through retirement and the habit has stuck, but luckily it has slowed down as my interest has narrowed over the years, 1/32 scale, WW2 and my favourite subjects are RAF/FAA, Italian, French and Japanese subjects, I came late to the latter but already had the kits in the stash. As there are not many releases in these categories I am buying less and less as the years go by, I also used the money from the sale of kits to buy some Tamiya super kits. Cheers Dennis.

And I'm a slow builder....harv I had not realised there had to be a correlation between building speed and stash size ! Thank God I did not know. Plus I believe in science and its capacity to keep me healthy until I have exhausted the stash, in a few centuries. Finally, I am no mathematician; maybe the more science-orientated among you can help solve this mathematical riddle : "If I buy kits at 7 times the rate I build them, when will I have exhausted the stash ?" Looking forward to your answers Hubert 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Dont try to establish a false correlation between stashing and building ! The internet , nay , the world! slows, shudders and then totters on at even the slightest allusion to the aforementioned. Math!? Science!? WTF are you babbling about!!?? Holy Mother of ,,,its hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 My build rate is far exceeded by the rate at which I accumulate kits. I think my stash is currently in the 150-200 range. I'm currently waiting for the Z-M Skyraider to arrive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
