The Dude Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Well Ern, It's only gluttony if it's over 100 kits! However if it is, I'll second Bill's advice. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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. Carl 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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...... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 15, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted December 15, 2020 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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJTX Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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.... 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 15, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted December 15, 2020 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... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 16, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted December 16, 2020 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. 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 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 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 16, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted December 16, 2020 Carl, I love the Little Bird. Fascinated by the whole Blackhawk down fiasco. What a cluster that was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
