Ah, but what is called a stash is relative. Relative to having only a couple of kits on hand, I have a stash.
I think Tojo72 has it right though, keep the stash to some sort of size you can actually build.
I have to assume people buy kits because buying is fun for them, or it is some compulsion, either case is OK by me. I want to know that I will be able to build everything I have bought, partly because that is one of the goals I set coming back into the hobby, and partly because I do not have that kind of expendable income. I'm not criticizing, if collecting huge amounts of kits is part of your enjoyment of the hobby, live it up!
But no one has given me any ideas how I can try to meet my resolution of not buying any more kits (at least until I get some of the "stash" built)
professordeath 500!!!! Jeez. Then I don't even have a stash yet!!

Now what ?? Just build baby.I have a modest stash of about 25,I feel they will all be built someday.I will however never have one of those giant stashes of hundreds or thousands of kits.Makes no sense to me,family just has to get rid of them once I'm dead.There is always a new kit that you will have to have,so have fun.
Okay, so what you have isn't really a stash, nor is it even the beginnings of a stash, but it is at least an indication that you may one day have a starter-stash....
I agree with proferssordeath. It will not be a stash until you reach 10 times what you have currently in inventory. I am currently sitting on 500 plus with an additional 50 to 75 paper model dowloads plus printed out projects. The question of paper or plastic on the bench is settled by having two benches with projects on them. Hopefully the hobby will be a permenant part of your life and you will find it as enjoyable as we have over the years.You have the beginning of the addiction. I still crave new kits although I find financial resources a bit scarce right now. I wish you many hours of happy modelling.
A nice problem to have!
So I now have 4 kits not started, plus one on the bench, and one on backorder, so a total of 6 kits in my stash. Having 6 kits when I only have time to sit down and work on them a few times a week is way more than I need, so I have resolved to not buying any more kits until I get down to 2 kits again. Trouble is how do I resist the temptation? First part is easier, I can resist going to my favorite websites to go shopping. The second part is more difficult, which is resisting the temptation after seeing what people on the forums are up to. I love reading about techniques people are using, and seeing (another) subject I think would be cool to have. Maybe I should limit myself to the general discussion in the hope that I would see fewer reviews and WIPs Or spend more time on the bench and less time lurking around here
Ah well, like I said, nice problem to have for the first time, and my modeling budget can take a needed rest for a while.
