Can't wait to see Manny's. He probably has a storage locker full of them. Or should I say "cooler"?

 

Maybe we should ask the guy, bet he has an entire garage or something, stuffed with things, with an entire "cooler" full of folding thingies!

 

Gentlemen.

Please remember that Manny's latest interest is in folding wing thingies.

As Manny has written many times about his experience on board a Japanese aircraft carrier prior to WWII...............

Best bet :  he now owns a surplus aircraft carrier.

Rumor has it that his Russian mistress destroyed them in a jealous rage after catching Manny with her BFF.

....aaaand the threads' been train-wrecked. Back on topic, boys!

You missed his post...on pg1....

...and I quote   http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jDzV3qycOqM#t=6s

did someone say folding things?

the Phantom and weapons area above the PC

the Skyhawk area above a few of the display shelves, next to the Phantom area, and over the Lady's PC

the end of the Skyhawk area, and the start of the "other aircraft", lol

not pictured is the continuation into the Hornet and Tomcat stash, and the build area in the dining room

LOL........my local hobby shops aren't as well stocked..............or as neat.

Nothing like a stash thread to make me feel better about buying more kits..

How..... unexpected!

I also want more pics of people's ridiculous stashes - makes me feel better about my minor-league hording.

 Certainly some impressive stashes here. Here's the currently 60 models in my "To be built in my lifetime" stash that I have in my man cave. this has grown a bit since the last similar thread due in part to X-mas and in larger part to Great Models clearance sale (Resistance is futile). In addition to this I have an additional 50+ models boxed up in my storage bus dating back to my High School days. All the little post it notes on my boxes are lists of AM parts I have for each kit. Thanks to everyone for sharing their stashes as I have seen some kits that take me back to my early modeling beginnings.

very glad to see your "end tags" on your model boxes

mine are 4 digit "project numbers", keyed into a database, to assign kits to the squadron they will be built for, decals and other parts are in that way also

it takes a lot of planes to build what I want as my goal, but, the only reason I post in these is so that some person might see a box and say "hey, I built that one back in,,,,,,,,,,,,"

I see boxes like that all the time when I look at all the other stashes posted,,,,,,,,once saw an Aurora armor set box that was my first "bunch of tanks" to kick off my wargaming, back in the day

oh well, back to reading,,,,,,nostalgia is fun, but, it ain't what it used to be (a line my son teases me with , lol)

Ditto....................this is a good thread to show SWMBO as proof of how serious the Canadian vs. USA  "Stash Gap" really is.

that's one stash that I'd just love to have, you've got a lot of kits that I'm looking for haha

Ninetalis

Good god Baron, you've been building in that place all the time?
I wouldn't be able do to that at all...

  You need to see my bench!

Here are shots taken back in 2009, I think, still pretty much unchanged except for the odd work in progress:

I do my spraying in another area of the cellar, and my metal casting out in the garage.

I get by OK.  The hard part is displaying finished models.  I really have no display space, till I finish some of the renovations on my house.  And those won't get done, till I finish some of the models.  It's a vicious circle

Some of you guys need help.

I have less than 20 kits in my stash because I think it's silly to amass a collection of something that may never get built. My

Yeah, but...but...some of my kits are "limited editions". I just 'had' to buy them right then and there.

TarnShip, I think you need a few more Phantoms, you seem a tad low.

Your stash sort of reinforces my thinking about one subject or variants.

I like these posts,,,,  nice to know there are other demented folks out there  

I found some older shots of the stash,,,,   I store these in the basement (dehimidifier always running)

Some of the rows are two-deep.....    I am not really sure how many I have however

My photo "studio" is also in the basement.......

Bill

Quite the collection Bill. I didn't realize you built planes as well. 

Eric,,,,,mine only became a stash because of Phantoms, back in the late 80's or so,,,,,whenever Hasegawa switched from the "blue boxes" with artwork to the "limited edition" boxes with color photos on the cover

I went to the store to build an F-4B, and they were sold out,,,,,,,I asked about getting more, and he said I would have to wait for a new release with whatever new decals they'd use, and that it might be 6 months or more,,,,,,,it was about 8 months until that actually was re released (and noooo, using an F-4J was not possible)

I got ticked off at having to wait,,,,,,and have since bought every kit I will need to build the collection,,,,,,except that I am short a couple of Cougar models I stay on the lookout for at shows,,,,,,they are OOP, and some squadrons I will HAVE to use Cougars for, and will Have to make my own decals for, too boot,,,,,,,,very, very hard to include VA-26 on the shelf without a Cougar to build for them,,,,,,or VA-16 without a Skyraider,,,,neither ever operated any other aircraft

so, I only did what I had to,,,,,even then, I only have 76 Phantoms up there,,,,,there is a guy on ARC with twice that many built and shown in a group shot every once in a while,,,,,,the most I have ever had on the finished shelves is about 15 at once,,,,,with less than 100 in my "all time built it once" list,,,,,,I threw out a lot of models because of "inadequate" displays,,,,,,that is the next step, staying ahead by about a dozen models at a time with the glass doors

Rex

Thanks Eric,,,            (not sure if thanks is the right connotation,,,   I may have too many "stashed")

Yes, I build aircraft too,,    pretty much anything really....  although my number one pick has always been armor / ground.

(quick shot of an older Otaki Frank)

That's cool Bill. The Ki-84 is my favorite Japanese fighter.

Rex, it must take a certain mindset to build basically the same model over and over. I've seen some guys build maybe a dozen 109's or P-47s, but 76 of the same subject (granted there are some differences)

I guess you just have to love your subject and maybe the repetition doesn't matter.

ohhh, I get you now

I missed your point the first time, sorry

You are completely correct, in my case at least,,,,,,,I don't enjoy building the same model over and over, any more than you do

that is why I have an F-4B for VF-14, an F-8J for VF-211,,,,,,,,an F-14 for VF-32,,,,,,A-4s, A-6s, etc, etc,,,,,,all the way back to resin F6C and F4B-2,,,,,,and a Jenny trainer,,,,a single F-10 Skynight,,,,anything actually, that is Naval, from the F4B-2 biplane to the F/A-18E

the only type of "same model building" I do,,,,,is sometimes I will build a few Skyhawks or Phantoms, or whatever,,,,,in a batch,,,,,,but, most of the time, aircraft types are staggered enough that I don't even build two jets in a row,,,,,,a Corsair, Hellcat, or Tracker gets in between

right now, in fact, on the bench,,,,,a Skyhawk, a Phantom, and a Hellcat,,,,,,with the Hellcat being the one touched most recently

76 Phantoms, then 49 Skyhawks, etc,,,,,*Would* be boring as heck to me,,,,,,almost as bad as building the squadrons in numerical order, lol

Very nice Ki-84 Bill

Gosh, you guys have such nice neat stashes, mine is more than a bit of a mess:

Funny, I don't have many duplicates other than variations on a theme- i.e. different Sherman or Zero versions.

Thanks Gamera, Thanks Eric

Gam,,,  nice stockpile,,,  messy or not

In fact, I should really re-stack, organize better  and take inventory

Ok, here's mine:

Oops....a little blurry.....

Yup,a little bit of everything. Started in 1983, the Revell 1/72 Wildcat and Hasegawa 1/72 RF-101C Voodoo (first pic) and the Revell 1/72 B-26 and AMT 1/25 Cale Yarborough #28 Monte Carlo (2nd pic) were among the first. It was less than 20 when I began........

Stage, seems like your pic's won't show up...

Hmm.....not sure what the problem is. I just reset the permissions on my hosting site; hope that helps.

Stage,I must say that not only is it a large stash,but very diverse,race cars,construction equipment,trucks,along with all the other usual suspects.

From what I see it looks like the pics are missing the img in brackets in the code.
