I think you're right, Tim.Well that depends on which Hell. The one in Michigan, Norway or the Caymans. I'm pretty sure the first two freeze. Here's a favorite joke you reminded me of. It proves Hell will never freeze.

When I posted this I almost said "not counting the one here in Michigan". I didn't know Norway had one to.

A long standing winter joke up here is "Hell froze over last night". Big Smile [:D]

I stopped buying kits 2 weeks ago.
I can't really start up again NOW - the stores are all closed. But they'll open in 8 hours or so...

Follow one of my distance ancestors examples and become a bushranger. Confused [%-)]

for those not aware of aussie slang - become an outlaw.

I keep telling myself that I won't buy any more until I have finished the ones I already have... yeah right! When will that happen? I keep starting more and more kits... yet the closet is still filling up with new ones. Like the Hell freezing over joke... the model kit flux into my closet is positive... so some day all hell will break loose!

Of course you could think of the collection as an investment... figuring that most kits you will never get around to building... imagine the money you could get back by selling them as collectors items years from now. If no one else in your family is a model builder... then that massive stash could also be thought of as a life insurance policy to be cashed upon your death. I just hope I can finish the ones I already own before I die, let alone the ones I am yet to buy.... and I am only 24!

You talkin to me?
Sounds like you got de bug. I started collecting because I wanted to rebuild all the stuff I had as a kid. Luckily, I didn't build any of it. Now , I COULDN'T. Who has the time to build 3,000+ kits? (I'm not complaining though. I've learned a LOT from the instruction sheets.) So why did I just run out and get both 1/35 scale Leopold kits? I read 'bout 'em in FSM! BCNU, Doc

Man, you guys are bad influences... I have never before in my life done more than one kit at a time, or even owned more than one unbuilt kit at a time... Now i have 3 in the works and 2 in the wings... sheesh! Smile [:)]

I wouldn't say they were bad influences. I've always had a bunch of unbuilt kits. I'm actually built more since I started hanging out on the forum. It's like a reminder about what I ought to be doing.

Well Im going to add to my previous response in this thread....

With the ambition of opening my own hobbyshop/online store I hope to be buying kits for many years to come in bulk numbers monthly!!!!! LOL

Things are still a ways off right now....but I have a few irons in the fire and the ball has started rolling up the steep hill.....lets just hope I dont slip or else I'll be run down by the ball!
