Thanks for this thread....the stash has been dying to get re-organized!

Pulled everything out and stacked it up.

With everything organized by box size more-so than subject relation, I can probably squeeze in another 20 or so!!!!!

I think someone needs to share with the rest of his friends.

I'm liking that Akagi and Independence in your stash Anthony. Yes

 

Thanks Erik,I'm saving them for a a few years after I retire and move out of state.There is no way that I want to try and move a completed Akagi across state lines,it probably wouldn't survive,but I really am looking forward to diving in to the both of them.

Holy cat, man! You could have a lot of fun with a laser pointer in there. Yes, dirty. Bathtub as a litter box?

Being a psychology major (yeah, it's about as marketable as an art history majorWink) I could come up with all sorts of rationalizations for why one ends up hoarding a styrene stash.  I will only say that it's much less disturbing and dirty than being a cat person shut-in.

Tigerman: just noticed all the kanji on your Hasegawa kits - is that because you purchased them/imported from Japan?  Or are they sold like that where you are?  (PS: i'm assuming you're based in the US).

Yes, I live in the US and purchased them all here. I got the Frank, Jack and Val at model shows for a total of $36. Two of them were sealed!

I couldn't resist!

The stash four years ago (Jan, 2008):

And now (more or less)!

There's a little over 100 now in the stash.

Some of it:

More of it:

Not all of it. Cool thing is I found some really great spots for tucking new acquisitions away. There's a deep drawer that fits Hasegawa's 1/32 kits almost exactly. Got a 190 Dora, 109G-6 and Ki-44 in there. There's a shelf on the old entertainment center I use as a backstop to my bench that's PERFECT for the bigger 1/48 Monogram boxes. It's holding the Black Cat PBY, B-24J and Ju 88. 

Planning to sell of some chunks of the stash I just know I'm never going to build. But that's a hard game to play.

Ive knocked the number down over the summer, but I still have over 30 in the stash:

there's another stack on the other side, mostly 1/48 scale ww2 and some 1/72 scale stuff

------------------------

Now that I'm here, where am I??

I've got close to 30 i think.

I've been pretty good - haven't bought any this year.  Acquired about 5 or so last year, only 1 the year before - have been trying to build them rather than just collect them.

Despite the relatively low number (compared to some others) i still have trouble deciding upon the next kit to build...

PS: DiscoStu: how's the F-14 build going?  I'm still yet to acquire the Academy kit for my stash, but hope to have it one day.

I can only try and remember what's in my stash.  Two years ago I had to forfeit my shop to create a nursery.  This stash is boxed in a storage unit waiting for our new house.  In the meantime I've accrued about 50 or so more that are shelved in our garage (boy does my wife love meConfused). I can't wait to break into all those boxes in the storage unit.  I'm sure I've forgotten about many and will be pleasantly surprised.  The first one I plan on doing is my Tamiya 1/32 Zero.  Or my Monogram B-29.  Or my Trumpeter 1/32 F-14D.  Or my 1/48 Revell F-15E.  It's gonna be like Christmas!

MIne is down to about 30, with a Semovente on my bench. I'm trying to be really picky anymore. When I first got back into the hobby deep, I bought a lot of outdated Tamiya and italeri kits. As new releases popped up, I sold them all off, as I didn't want to go backwards per say.

These posts come up time to time.

Your lurking stash?
Posted by Ninetalis on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 7:45 PM

Hey all,

I actually searched for it, but I can't find anything about this on the forum,
sooooooo, I just made one myself!Whistling
What's in your stash guys? I'll just start with showing what's in mine.

 This is the 'main stash', got quite some, last year I only had about 6 boxes.

This is above my widow, these are the bigger models, or better said, bigger boxes.

With regards, Ninetalis.
