Absolutely... I'm not an "Aircraft" or "Armor" modeler or any one sub-genre.  I build dioramas, and show the model(s) "doing their thing"...

Guess if I had to label it, I'd be a "Military Story-teller Modeler".. Even with a sci-fi subject, it's military, and I'm telling a story with the diorama..

Upon returning to the hobby six yrs ago (from a 30 yr hiatus) I've been building ONLY armor, but just this month started building a WWI German Pfalz fighter biplane.  I've since bought two more AC kits, but I'm not sure if this is the start of a trend towards AC or AC/Armor since I love tanks and 99% of my stash is armor.

Yep.

* Aircraft (primarily WWI, a little WWII, hardly any modern stuff) all scales

* Armor (mostly German WWII, some allied WWII, less of the modern stuff) 1/35 & 1/72

Could count on one hand the number of ship and sci-fi builds I've done - would have to be something very special to me before I tried another one.

I have in my stash the following catagories of models...

* armor
* aircraft
* ships
* sci-fi

Anyone else here buy multiple catagories of models? If so, what catagories?

Ditto for all those.

Lately, I seem to be specializing in one scale as I've added recent re-releases of armor, 1960s era Show Cars, and an old MPC "The General" steam engine kit in 1/25th.

I have somewhat the same list with a little bit of everything.  No sci-fi, yet, but I have a Dodge Ram to build with the boy sometime soon.

Also have some model train stuff too.

Add to that are 1/6th Fantasy figures which is stock piling with the catagories.

Pretty much the same as you sgt.

Armour - 1/35th

Aircraft - 1/72nd with a select few 32nd

Ships - only a couple of U-Boats at the moment, but looking to expand. Planning on going 1/350 for the larger ships.

And Sci Fi - Only Star Wars and Star Tek at the moment. Don't think i will expand beyond that.

 

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

All of those and mostly in the same order of preference. There are not many sci-fi subjects coming out now that I am interested in, and I am picky about ship subjects.  They do take up a lot of room as I prefer 1/350.  I think I have all the aircraft models bought that strike my fancy.  That means that armor gets most of the purchasing and building from me now. 

As far a building, my stash is huge and I can freely rotate around depending on what I feel like building. I even have a ton of figure sets, and someday I should start painting them.  About the only subject that I have no interest in is automobiles, or airliners.
