ScottsGT Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Yea. Just went there. I’m in the middle of my Hasegawa P-40 build and enjoying the Hasegawa kit. Got me thinking of putting the P-47 kit I have into the rotation for next year. So I pull out my not so trusty inventory sheet to find which box it’s still packed away in. Wait…It’s not on the list. How can this be?!!? I know I wouldn’t have sold it, but just to be sure I dig through all of my messages on all my forums I’m on. Nothing. I get a wild idea to pull up a pic of my stash from the old house I took about 5 years ago. Sure enough, there it is on the shelf right between the Wildcat, Hellcat and a P-40B kit. Pull out my list, Box 13 has those other kits listed but no P-47. Out to the garage and after shuffling around a few kits and another big box of kits (of course box 13 would be in the back) I retrieve it down off the shelf. Yep, there it is. Apparently someone was drinking when things were packed away and getting inventoried. Whew. Disaster avoided. Yea, disaster because I’d have to go buy another and take a gamble of getting busted bringing another kit into the fold. 🤷🏻♂️ Yea, if it wasn’t in that moving box, there is no way I was going to pull down every box to search for it. I would have just bought another. Oh, and the Mandela effect kicked in too. I thought I had the Gabreski boxing. Nope. European Theatre with the Big Ass Bird which is one I wanted to build anyway. I really hate my inventory system because of crap like this. I’d love to be able to “display” my kit selection again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate my inventory system because of crap like this. I’d love to be able to “display” my kit selection again. Never had a system myself...Oh, I attempted to put all Tamiya models on the upper shelf. They didn't all fit. The big kits on the floor, WW I kits in a stack. Things got out of hand after that....that's my blunder. These are all in a walk-in closet in a bedroom. Its too full now and I have moved all clothing in it to a hall closet. This fullness, for most people would be a sign to stop buying models. I'll try, (I still have one on the way) We'll see. The Tamiya kits on the top shelf? Well, I can't retrieve one without another One falling on my head......I'm a donkey, for sure!😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 I bought the recent Meng Dune Ornithopter kit, put it into the stash. Then when the Sandbox GB started, I figured I'd build that except... ...I couldn't find the kit. I looked under the bench (the usual repository for new kits), the shelves where most of my stash lives. Nope, Nada. I debated buying another one. At this point, I thought to was time to sort and reorganize the stash. I finally found the kit on a completely different shelf behind other kits. How it got there I have no idea. At least things are better sorted now. I only have 2 kits in the way of others and that's because they're too big to fit a shelf themselves. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 2 Author Share Posted December 2 Carl, you can gladly peel a few off those bottom two stacks up front and send them my way if you need to make some room for more kits. 😁 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite a stash, Carl. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one closet for my clothes don't really need more but the Wife has ALL the other three closets jam packed with clothes and shoes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
