GazzaS Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I just counted... 76 kits waiting to be built! 3 of them are 1/350 scale ships. 7 are non-WNW or mengnut wings LSP's. 7 are WNW or mengnut wings LSP's 6 are 1/48 scale twin engined fighters or bombers. The rest are 1/35 scale armor, mainly Dragon, but with a few Tamiya. I hope I live to build them all. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Moved the 1/32 stuff out of the loft last year, but the 1/48 1/35 and 1/350 are still up there, have to build faster. Cheers Dennis 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Update!!! I just counted my stash......I actually have more like 70 kits! Thank God! I thought I had a Problem!😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Mine is kind of stable at the moment. Stable in that it's not likely to topple over from more kits being added to it. Having two sons who occasionally 'borrow' 1/72 kits from my stash helps to keep it in check. Or creates more room for new additions. Haven't done a count in a long time. might be a bit afraid to. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 This was the biggest part of my stash before I had to box it all up for the move. I kind of miss having them all out for my own “display” setup in my basement. Now they are all in moving boxes in lofts I built in my new garage. Just no room in my shared downstairs. This is this all along the right side loft and the one in the top left corner of the pic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Oops! I just counted 12 phantoms in the old stash location. See, I’m worse than I thought I was. 🤪 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 6 Administrators Share Posted August 6 Y’all are rank amateurs! I have absolutely NO idea how many kits are in my stash. 3 Lancs: 2x HK and 1x Bordernut 3x B-17: 1x late G, 2x E/F 2x B-24 6x T-28s, both B and C 1:200 Arizona, Titanic/Olympic/Britannic, Hood, Bismarck, Yamato, etc 150+ Wingnut kits Various Tamiya, ZM, Hasegawa, Trumpetboss, and other mainstream kits 1/24 Tiffie of each type, and two 1/24 F6F’s and a complete closet filled with resin: multiple of each HPH kit in 1/32 except for DC-3 and PBY of which are only one each, multiples of all 1/32 Silver Wings and most Lukgraph, HapH 1/72 Russian airliners, and one each 1/48 B-36, B-52, and B-70. I’ve trimmed it down a bit, getting rid of multiples of plastic stuff I might only build one of, but have picked up JetMads Viggen and soon to get Stilleto and Lear. Y’all will have some good pickings once I check out for good. Had done some remodeling of my barn to suit the old car situation, so models have all been moved to the other side of the building. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now ask her exactly how many pairs of shoes she has and then extrapolate the stash count……….the resulting factor is……… 10 to 1…..as a guess…….there ought to an equation developed for “totally stash build time” kit(scale) # complexity # AM # available time # PITA factor = average build time average build time x number of kits = number of years number of years to completion to large, option open a shop as Mark suggested Just random thoughts……… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 OMG. I'm a rank amateur among some of the finest stash collectors/builders on the planet. I have a pale 40 kits in the stash, spread out between 32nd, 48th, 1/144 aircraft and 1/12 and 1/24 car kits. A growing collection of Quinta 3D Resin decals, maybe 50 -75resin AM sets and a small number of AM decals. Paints, supplies and tools keep multiplying and it's been nearly impossible to control it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Ok, I was waiting on Ernie to jump in and nock over all the dominos. OK guys, y’all go for the stash. I want the ‘57. I’ve even thought about selling the ’66 Mustang GT Fastback or trading it for one. But something tells me that wouldn’t fly with the wife. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I never use the words "stash" and "problem" in the same sentence. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. About 150 kits - nearly all 1/32 aircraft. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK guys, y’all go for the stash. I want the ‘57. I’ve even thought about selling the ’66 Mustang GT Fastback or trading it for one. But something tells me that wouldn’t fly with the wife. The Chebbie is gone. Sold. Not a Chebbie guy, but my wife thought she’d like it. She didn’t. Replaced by a 55 Sunliner project and paid back some business related accumulated Covid debt. I wouldn’t get rid of the 66 for anything. They drive and handle great in the modern world, 50s cars on the other hand, are cool to look at, full of class and style from a bygone era, but ride like a half melted marshmallow, brake and turn like the Queen Mary, and are blessed (cursed) with an engine way, way more capable than the brakes and suspension can handle. Plus, the steering columns are simple steel pipes, perfect for impaling yourself on in a crash. Yes, guys modify them with newer everything, modern brakes, frames, tilt wheels, modern A/C, cruise, sound systems, stupid huge chrome wheels with rubber band tires, etc, but then they lose their mystique. They end up being simply a modern car that looks old. As difficult as they are to drive in the modern world, they are the best grin maker available this side of a P-51. Your Mustang looks cool, and compared to the 50s stuff, handles and drives like a modern car. You want a 50s car that works in today’s world? Look very closely at 55-57 Thunderbirds. Not crazy expensive, handle GREAT, a lot of power, a ton of them out there, and stupid fun to drive. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once, back in the day, single seater Wingnut kits were less than $60 shipped right to your door. That’s half what a Tamiya kit was selling for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
