About 150......and yeah, my stash is a little like me- meaning diverse, not ADD.... Big Smile

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

I hope they're visible now; I and at least two other people can see 'em.....

SL: I can see your photos just fine now, and nice collection of kits there. Looking at the stashes of you and Bill make me feel a little less like a crazy hoarder guy Wink

Great idea for a thread Ninetalis and a big thanks to everyone for posting, I've really enjoyed seeing everyone show off their 'toys'. Beer

Digging this thread... thank you for making things easier for me.  From now on if my wife starts to complain about my growing stash, I will just show her this thread.  Cheers! Beer

Dragon/Cyber-Hobby stash along with some rotary kits.  On lower right part of shelves, my next builds... 

Big fan of Dragon figures... about 50 of them along with Tamiya kits stored inside rubbermaid boxes. 

More kits stored inside rubbermaid boxes... some kits hidden inside my workbench.  I don't think my wife knows about those yet...

More hidden stash along with K98 bayonet just for self defense purpose only... 

Hope to see more of this... Yes

Haha, thanks guys, if I'd knew this I've would of made one much earlier, lol.
I enjoy it to to see some people's stashes, I just like to see what other people have and sometimes seeing very odd kits or something like that.

Deafpanzer, I hear ya, my mom and GF are nagging about my stash, that it's becoming way to big, but then I go on the internet and show some other people's stashes, who are a lot worse than mine! Toast 
Nice stash you're keeping btw!

Just keep 'em coming boys!
You can also post things when you've just bought something new worth mentioning (when you buy a new kit every week or so, then wait for a weeks or so when you have like 3-5 new boxes or something Stick out tongue

With regards, Ninetalis.

DP Andy: Nice stash there! I thought I had a bunch of figures, you've got me beat by at least a box!

And good idea on the bayonet- must defend the stash! And you can use it to open really heavy packing tape when your shipments arrive.

 

You know this is tempting me to start a thread on 'What's the Weirdest Thing in your Stash?' Hmm

I remember that on this forum somewhere there was a GB in which you had to choose max 15 objects from your stash and let the forum decide one which one you would make.

Stage Left, sorry for the late answer, but the pictures show up now.

With regards, Ninetalis.

Yeah it was done a few times as a GB starting on New Year's Day and running though the year. Pretty fun to see what people will end up picking.

My stash currently sits at just over 200. But thats only the main kits, i dopn't include all the figure sets and support vehciles to go with my aircraft Dio's. If i did it would be 3 or 400. The onyl pic i can show is of my armour stash. All my aircraft are boxed up and all the figures are at home.

My other half doesn't yet know just how many kits i have. I have to move all these home later in the year, and somhow i have to sneak the stash past her.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

After the move, most of mine are still packed in about a dozen huge cardboard boxes. I can't even remember what I've got!

I know the feeling doog. Those armour kits will get boxed up soon, and once everything is moved, it could be a while before they see the light of day again.

Gee Bish, you don't care much for German armor do you? Wink

You seem to like Tiger I's, Panthers, and 251's. Yup, you're going to have to add a King Tiger and and Elefant. Big Smile

My stash?

Hmmmmmm.....

Aftermarket stores and a few 1/72 scale armor:

Some bigger planes:

(yes those are LED Christmas lights. I hate glaring overhead lights and these give me a more subtle background light while working)

Above work desk:

Closet:

(Bottom half of closet is abandoned model railroad stuff)

Side of closet for mostly 1/144 scale stuff:

And some other kits that seem to be cluttering up top of sheet covered Model RR layout: (abandoned for now):

A few other kits are scattered about the room, here and there,,,,

*******

On my workbench now:

It's all about classic cars now!

Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?

Wow! Having a chance to look at every photo posted on this thread, I realize that my stash is even more eclectic than I thought. I guess I shouldn't be, but I was really surprised to see how many stashes are dominated by planes or armor.  Don't have a photo, but here's my line-up:

Figures - 3 Aurora Knight kits; 3 dinosaurs; Elvira, Wonderwoman, the Mummy, and Green Lantern.   Sci-Fi - Martian war machine, Star Trek Defiant and Vulcan shuttle, BSG Viper, Star Wars tank, Seaview sub.  Ships- Air cushion landing craft,  2 destoyers, battleship, Pibber, freighter, seawolf and balao class subs.  Planes - 1/32- X-1, X-15, F-16, F-86, Bf109 and 1/48- corsair, spitfire, P-38, Me262, B-17, and B-29.  Armor - Tiger 1, Pershing, Panther, and Da Vinci prototype.  Autos - Lotus series 7, '59 Cadillac.  Space - Man in space rocket collection, and First lunar landing.  and  Misc?. -  six 1960's Pyro antique firearms kits (5 flintlock pistols, 1 Kentucky long rifle).

Given my age, and the number of kits in my stash, I'm not sure I ever want to waste time building the same thing twice.

I may be able to post pics some day, but for now let's just say that last time I moved it took about 20 boxes from U-Haul, mostly Medium size with a few Larges for big ones like the XB-70 and the B-58, to get them contained.

I made sure to label the boxes so I know what's in them.

Between the fact that I won't be buying a home anytime soon and would like to save some packing time on any moves, and the fact that boxes on shelves are a bad idea with cats in the house, putting them out like most of you guys isn't a good idea here.

Highly recommended - can be a relatively quick-build out of the box, or a good platform for scratchbuilding. Mine is 99% done, just need to clean up the glass & add the pitot tube...

Yeah when I saw it at the show I had to buy it. Good to hear that it's a quick build. Looking forward to it.

 Per request here are additions to my stash since my last post. Some excellent scores from Great Models clearance sale (again I did not have to pay S&H as my brother picked them up from the warehouse). A couple of kits from clearance pile at the LHS while at WestFest 2012 and lastly the Eduard bf 110 and the Acurate Miniatures B-25B Mitchell (Model in a bag, no box) were presents for my 50th birthday last weekend. Enjoy!

Nice stuff JOE! Really digging that Ju88, and they got that Bf 110 at my LHS, I'm thinking about buying it if it's still there after my trip to the US, because, it is a beautiful kit!

I've also got some new thingies in my stash these weeks, they were all bargains!
The beaufighter isn't new but since I had to move it, I just thought on putting it next to the F-16.



Also got myself the 1/48 B-58 Hustler, 1/48 Meteor F1 with V1. 25 bucks each!

With regards, Ninetalis.

What nice stashes you guys have..........have been watching so decided to show some myself.  Will start with the two footlockers both full of figure sets and some miscellaneous accessory sets

The stash

One other footlocker contains a B-29, B-24, B-25, Wellington, P-61, and a TBD-1 Devastator all in 1/48.  I like all the big bombers but have yet to build one.

These 2 arrived today

Ninetails - Thanks, Indeed, I highly recommend that you snag up the Eduard bf 110 as it is a limited edition and out of the box is really amazing.  Certainly not for the novice builder. And for the $59.95 price tag is actually a sweet deal given the mask, PE and resin it comes with. 

I may have to get around to this fairly soon as my wife got this for me for my birthday. My wife had been with her daughter for the past week for the birth of our first grandchild (my stepdaughter) and thus had not been able to take the time to find anything for me. That was completely fine with me. But while I was at the WestFest 2012 contest and thusly near the LHS, she called me up and was feeling so bad about not being able to get me anything the following miraculous words came out of her mouth, " Is there a model there that you really want but have not quite wanted to spend the money for?"  After catching my breath in disbelief I replied "Um, yeah, there's a whole store full." She then instructed me to pick one up for my present. Thus the Eduard Messerschmitt bf 110. God I Love my Wife.
