...I'm acquiring kits so much faster than I can ever build them! I've only been back in the hobby for less than two years. Geez, seventy-nine kits in various places around the house. In our little house, too many to store in just one place. Yikes!
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
Don't we all :-(

Hi;
Even though I am a Doctor ( not of Medicine ) It hasn't helped ! I have a stash that even if I could turn back the clock , never buy another kit , I still would be seventy five before I reached the end .
Kit buying is to a modeler , as Shoe or Dress or Jewelry buying is to women . It makes us feel good and so it becomes an unspoken addiction .
That's what my first wife told me . She was right ! T.B.-----Hey ! You live in Florida and you don't have any floaty thingies in that stash ! Shame on you, LOL.LOL.
Yeah, floaty things. Never had the desire. Since Florida is so flat, except for the occasional TV tower, flying seemed more interesting to me.
Welcome to the club! I've got enough to keep me busy for the next 250 to 300 years. Just hit the raffle at Penncon for 4 more last Saturday. When the man upstairs takes me to the great workbench in the sky, I'll have plenty to keep me busy.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
I'll take that B-17F off your hands if you think you've got too many, lol. I was purchasing to many a few months ago, the solution was to focus my little bit of money elsewhere. Any little bit I get I've been buying parts for my car, as I'm in the process of restoring it.

Yeah, Keyda, I've been lurking on your Camaro thread.
I wish I had that much shelf space! Mine are mostly packed away in lots of carefully-catalogued boxes....

Pffttt.... I've seen others that have 3 times more than what you have. That's a small stash.... LOL!!
As Nancy Reagan once said, "Just say no"
Oh,just wondering,why do you have 3 twin Mustangs ?
"Just say no"? Did that ever work? Anyway, Tojo, if you mean three 1/72 F-82 kits, one will become an XP-82 (maybe) or a P-82B with Merlins. I bought two Hasegawa 1/72 P-51D kits at Modelpalooza. If I'm good enough, I perform dual rhinoplasties on one of the F-82 kits adding the Merlin noses from the two Hasegawa kits. Wish me luck.
Did that "stop" you ???
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

No. Absolutely not.
Why? Simply put, I’m guilty of doing the same damned thing. Incidentall with my collecting kits over the last year or so, my count was 79 kits as well when I last counted when signing back on here.
I feel for ya....
Warmest regards,

I am with TB on this one. Get some floaty things. While your are at it: Go get some cars, figures, motorcycles, and whatever else. I say, feed the addiction. It will go away, eventually. Hehe. Usually, once when you can't find a place to sit.
It is an addiction, just like TB said, I have bragged a few times about my stash.... in the neighborhood of 300..., so long as your signifigant other understands and accepts your addiction you really don't have a problem
Or as LT posted JUST STOP! Yea right like we can quit breathing LOL.
we're modelers it's what we do

My 70+ stash was crying out to me "build me,build me". So last year I decided not to buy any more kits,after all, I bought the kits I have because they are really nice kits and I wanted to build them. So i re-built 3 from the shelf of doom and 1 from the stash which gave me much satisfaction. BUT, to satisfy the buying urge I am now aquiring lotsa aftermarket stuff for the ones I do have plus some more wizzie tools...it never ends.
I did buy 2 kits at the latest IPMS show which crushed my stash build schedule. One was the 1/48 Visible B-17 with tons of AM that I started on,and this one is gonna take me a year ,considering all the additional scratch building I'm just compelled to do. So much for my stash -building plans...sigh
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
A better word would be...
Amateur...
ROFL!!!!
Nah, hold my beer.
All of you... So far.

I do think about boats and cars. I might like to do a vintage Cris Craft cabin cruiser, like the old mahogany boats. As for cars, somethng vintage like a Rolls or Cadillac or the Le Mans Bentley. Maybe an old Chevy Sedan Delivery
