I’m ashamed.

Started cataloguing Wingnut Kits today, and the Bible certainly talks about gluttony.

Not good.  

[Bill_S]

Let us help you out, Ernie. It's the Christian thing to do.

[The Dude]

Well Ern, It's only gluttony if it's over 100 kits! However if it is, I'll second Bill's advice. 

[BlrwestSiR]

Ernie, just because you have a lot of Wingnut kits doesn't make it gluttony.   Not to mention your generosity to others I'd say certainly outweighs any negatives, biblical or otherwise.

I would offer to help, but I don't even know if I'll finish the eight I have.  The only WWI planes I want weren't released by WNW or anyone in large scale.

Buil them all!!

[seiran01]

Yeah, what Fran said!  ...Or send a pallet of them my way

[ScottsGT]

I’m happy to say that I never bought the first one of them.  I was told they are like Lay’s Chips.  Just can’t have one!  So I avoided all together.  

 

...Suckers......

More than happy to help out Cupcake !....harv

[The Dude]

See Ern, what a great support group you have here, we all forgive you and we are willing to help relieve any guilt that you may have.

Well if I drop dead, my wife knows where y’all are. I had a bunch in the barn, then a pile in the house, now they’re all in the barn. Resin all in the house. 

Other than WNW, very, very few mainstream IM kits. Mostly Lukgraph, Silver Wings, HPH, Fisher, Craftworks, Alpha Flight, OzMods, MDC, and Special Hobby stuff. Nothing “Shake the Box” other than Kitty Hawk, HK, and a couple Tamiyagawa.  Tony knows this. He’s seen it.  Hell, I have an HPH Arado 196, and an MDC Ki.61 for crying out loud! Why? Because they build nicer than the comparable IM kits.  It’s insane.

wow!!! i would love to see your collection!!! 

 

Craftworks!! I have a P-40C (started one) that I got on ebay 10 years ago! 

Alpha Flight had some really nice kits and also not shake and bake ones!

 

[TJTX]

It's a heck of a thing to see in person.   I remember the first time I saw the closet doors open.  I thought, man, this must be where they filmed the Indiana Jones warehouse scene....

[Bomber_County]

We now need to see photographic evidence of this mythical WnW storage facility or is it in Area 50.5..........

I wonder if Ernie's looks like this guy's stash. Fast forward to around the 1:00 mark  to see it. 

 

[Clunkmeister]

I'll take a pic or two tonight. LOL  You know, one or two kits every now and then, followed by some trades, a few yard sales, and a glacial building timeline, and you get this...  

 

[Bomber_County]

Did I interpret the guy correctly, was it it 15,0000 kits............holy........

[Jeff]

That's what I thought too , Phil

[GusMac]

Better stocked than most hobby stores. They'd go bankrupt carrying that stock!

Yup, 15,000 kits. 

My LHS bought a 10,000 kits collection a couple years. They've only had the chance to get it out of the seller's house and into storage. I'm still waiting for them to start cataloguing it and getting it into the store.

Yup, I bid on that collection, they won, but in my opinion, they vastly overpaid. While there were 10,000 kits, not all were newer or high end, however there were quite a few 1/32 Tamiya jets, maybe 50 in total. However, they were relatively close, and a hobby shop is the ideal purchaser, I estimated it would have taken me years to sell them.

[Clunkmeister]

I’m not quite that bad. Not even close, but like everyone here, I’ve tried to consolidate the stash into what I really want to build someday. Mostly all high end stuff that we all lust after. Not just whatever’s around.

So its 95% 1/32 scale, a few Airfix 1/24, and a smattering of 1/48 large or unavailable in big scale kits. 

There’s still about 50 Wingnut kits in the closet, plus all the SH, and full resin kits. 

[BlrwestSiR]

Much more organized than my stash. As much as I've tried to organize it, the primary factor is where space can I fit the kit into?

Never realized you like the Little Bird so much Ernie. I've got the KH one and a Dragon one with the Black Ops conversion set.

Carl, I love the Little Bird. Fascinated by the whole Blackhawk down fiasco. What a cluster that was.
