Pics of my model stash

Hey, Rob Gronovius,

I just found the pictures of your model stash, and I if you were here, I would shake your hand and buy you a beer.

My wife and I just moved, and during the process she put in more than a few non-constructive comments about the size of my stash.  Then I showed her your pics.  Hey, I might just get away with a couple more from Hobby Lobby sale this weekend.  Thanks. 

I've posted these before but it was awhile back.

This is my main stash. The shelves are deeper than they look, (the B-36 box goes all the way to the back) so there are many more behind the ones you can see.

This is more recent aquisitions. Note the Arii "Patriot Ladar" kit.

heres some of mine

some in the loft, the yellow and blue boxes are full too

thats just some kits of mine

You guys really put mine to shame I only have a little cabinet for them.

I rearranged a few shelves in my room to make room for more kits. Its up to around 20... I think the stress I would feel from owning all those kits and sitting there with modelers block trying to deceide which kit to build would not be good! I have a hard enough time trying to keep myself focused on the one I am working on now, and not pulling a new one out to start on. I have a few just sitting and waiting on me to finish them, but it doesn't ever seem to happen? Life can be so hard!!!

my stash is in piles around the house, most are in the loft

its bad when you go into the local shop and know you have more kits than them

Wow. Suddenly I dont feel too bad about having 10 kits sitting unbuilt in my closet!

Nice collections everyone.

Here's mine. Mostly four tires and a steering wheel. There are a few tanks and ships off to the right side. I just added six more to it yesterday at the Cactus Classic swapmeet.

Normally, they pack them up into wardrobe boxes that stand about 4 feet tall. This was the first time ever that my stash has been almost totally unpacked and placed out in plain sight. I was amazed at what I had. A lot of stuff. I started donating items to my club's raffle for the regional show. I've donated some to the club to send to troops overseas, I've given some to guys online deparately looking for an elusive kit.

BTW, there are still guys online who see my stash and reply, "you call that a stash, you should see my collection." Funny, these "one up men" never seem to post photos of their mythical stashes that dwarf mine.

Hey Major When you move do you let the movers pack these up? I hope not!

BRAVE RIFLES

Nice stash Flyingrartor,  however  the pictures of Robs stash is just WOW!!!!!  I showed them to my wife and kids who always say when I buy a new model "why dont you finish the ones you've got first?"  well i have about  60 models in the stash so compared to Robs stash i sure dont have far to go.  non modellers just dont get it do they?

No they don't.  but darn it Major Rob, I thought I had it bad.  Now I am feeling much more at ease looking at my own stash.  Khew.  I spy 5X Tamiya M1s and 3X DML T72M2s...

How about "no tread links?" Hey trowlfazz, didn't your name used to be "Astro?"
