Scalemates Stats

One time I answered a guy advertising kits somewhere like ebay.

He lived in the same area as me and invited me over.

He had picked up a mass lot of over 3,000 kits from some sale.

There were kits floor to ceiling in every room of his apartment.

His wife was sitting in the kitchen and wouldn't even look at me.

I think I bought 5 or 6.

What are the odds he's still married?

Yeah, my stash is probably in the six figure range! I've cut back on getting kits and have traded/given/sold more kits than have acquired in the past several years.

I donated a large box of 1/72 scale aircraft to a school teacher (school employee of sorts), who was trying to start a model club for the school. Must have been around 20 or so older fighter kits.

 

Wait,what? Six figures? That's over 100,000 kits !!!

Is that right Rob,in your possession now,where do you keep them,?

Interesting stats.

I presume the actual numbers are a LOT higher, since not everybody posts on Scalemates. But I'll bet it's a very good representation of the percentages!

Stash (40-50)

Wishlist (N/A- I don't buy kits anymore)

Completed (100's but I only have kept 10 or so)

Started (10)

Kind of depressing.

You have great discipline Tony ;)

I used to keep up with my stash and completed on Scalemates,but I kind of slacked off and haven't kept it up to date,but I did a quick count.

On the bench: 1 Tamiya P-38

Completed in possession: 100

Stashed: 36 kits, not counting figures.

No shelf queens: 

I don't have a big wishlist,maybe 2-3 right now.
