 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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

What ever gives you that idea Big Smile Just incase your worried i might be going red with that SU 85, its going to be built in German markings.

I have a Tiger II already built, but deffinatly need an Elefant.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.....

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........ Whistling

Very nice Ki-84 Bill Yes

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.

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

almost gone
