A Baby Stash:
(Awww)
These may be all my unstarted kits...
(The Lindberg kit I’m counting as such because I haven’t started the P-47.)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” - John 3:16-17
Years ago, it was very easy to operate in this hobby that way. Buy, then build. Once a kit came out, it would be on the market for years and years. Now many production runs are short and if you don’t grab a kit when it’s first available, it might not be available later on.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

When I started into this hobby way back in December, I told myself the hobby was building models not collecting kits. I had the same philosophy with my model railroad and finished new stuff before buying more. I had awesome self control.
Currently I have one kit finished, and one on the bench...
... and 7 or 8 in the stash.
Oh well.

Yours is actually neater than mine .I did have it sorted one time, then I was " Gifted" 26 more. Thus started another overwhelming amount .
Hope i don't run out of shelf space.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3

no modelers redistribution of wealth here... this is not a socialist site...
Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.
tempestjohnnyIt's only one closet shelf. Honest
My stash is only about 10-20 kits, so if you're ever in the giving spirit... (wink wink hint hint)
Sad thing is, my build rate will tank in the next couple of years going to college.
edit - thought I got the picture in the quote too, but I guess not.

*GASP* That's alot of kits. But you still have a ways to go to reach some modelers stashes.
When the back of your storage unit, (8×10), demands an audience and an offering BEFORE removing the air conditioner in the front....then you have a problem. Right now your just running a small fever. Take Stiks advice buy two kits build them quick, stay hydrated. This will pass........in ten or twenty years........maybe. Lol
we're modelers it's what we do
midnightprowler Keyda, you need to add some cars to that!
Keyda, you need to add some cars to that!
I'm not real big on cars for some reason. Unless it's like a vehicle I've owned it just doesn't really appeal to me. I can't for the life of me explain why, lol.
Wa'll:
I guess it's how you want to look at it . Since 1982 I have kept the stash to a wall of the Garage .Used to be Three small Barns till the Tornado in December of that year saw to it my stash was trimmed down !! I can actually laugh about it now LOL.LOL. These things do stuff in the dark I think ! T.B.
German Armour Don't worry, Most of them are going to group builds.

That almost made me choke on my coffee laughing.
Worst excuse I've ever heard, and it's so bad that it's good. Brilliant!
German Armour You tell me........................
You tell me........................
Its very serious... buy two models, build them immediately, and drink plenty of fluids.

My stash isn't near as many as most, but it's migrated to two different areas. I keep telling myself to quit buying and start building.
There is 54 total. If hubby actually knew how many....... He usually just shakes his head at me, lol.
In all seriousness, I find in this hobby an impulse to buy and collect kits to build in the future, is literally a part of the hobby. So a stash just comes with the territory. Some that don't keep stashes must just have the greatest self control ever.
My big Achilles' heel is 'projects.'
No matter what I'm actually building at the moment--be it one kit, or several--my addled brain is always 'cranking' on the dozen-or-so 'projects' I'm plotting and planning for the future...and, of course, gathering 'materials' for, in the form of more kits and accessories.
Somehow the stash seems to grow at a rate embarassingly disproportionate to what I'm managing to turn out. [And wouldn't you know it? The 'projects' I haven't acquired the kits for always seem so much more tantalizing than the ones already 'in stock'....]

Oh my. My stash of some 80 kits seems so puny.
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
Oh man, that's a good one LOL. That's what I tell my wife.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Its deffinatly a start. I think you are now at that point of no return.
LOL! Don't fight it friend (I have 477 in my stash..and that's nothing compared to some of the others here on the forums!). There is no cure, just roll with it. LOL! You have a great start there in your stash!
Of course it's serious. Only four aircraft. Not enough planes and too many targets.
Retired and living the dream!
