my first (mini) stash - now what?

I still hope I never get a stash any larger than a dozen (or so...).  However I have come across one advantage of having some sort of stash, which is giving me some lead time in buying paint.  I started another thread a while back about having airbrushed model paint for the first time.  I have just done a small amount of airbrushing on my current project, and only my second time using Tamiya acrylics.  While it is more difficult to clean up, it certainly covers much nicer than the artists acrylics I have been mixing.  This was their XF-60, Dark Yellow, and it went on like a dream.

So maybe I really do need a stash

i'm guilty of buying more models that i have time to build and have a lot of kits that i hope to get around to building. (now that australia is out of winter, i might get more time).

You people need to get a hobby....oh, wait! So far, just getting back into this, i only have a few in the box. I am considering a 1/32 SBD i saw on e-bay and i am looking for dc-3 kits, 1/48 or 1/32, that won't break the bank. Seems like they are becoming quite scarce. I was only able to find a relative few on the web. As with the old baseball cards we did not keep around, i had a few kits that did not make the moves we made in the last 15 years. Sure with i had those.

You all belong on Hoarders. :-)

I must the rare soul that only has in his possession what he is currently working on, unless I get some as gifts. I don't think I've had more than 5 kits sitting around at any one time. Now I feel all inferior and insecure in my status as a modeler <snif>

 ... i am looking for dc-3 kits, 1/48 or 1/32...

Dunno of anyone who ever made a 1/32 scale kit of the DC-3, but you can still find the 1/48th Monogram kit around the 'net...

Thanks Hans. I did find a couple and bought them...i think. There is a group of 10 kits with two (dc-3 and AC-47) that i have my one good eye on. I have to stop getting on E-bay!

Good luck with your resolution. I have a little over 200 unbuilt kits in my stash. I usually build  between 15-25 kits a year, so I guess I have enough kits for about 10 years. I find now, it's more fun to acquire new releases and ones I don't have yet, than building what I have. It's far easier to get rid of the unbuilt kits than getting rid of built models.
