Oh I do love this question! How long do I have to live? Well only time will tell. BUT, at the build rates in common with above of 10-12 builds a year, and at last count of my stash a few years back, I have a 30-40 year supply of builds in my stash. With my family history saying that I should live around that long, I'm in good shape there. Now presuming that I survive my current career for another 4-5 years and retire, my build rate can increase since I won't have that pesky job getting in the way of bench time anymore. If not? Keep your eyes peeled on eBay guys, because I'm sure that my presumed widow will be supplementing my life  insurance payout with selling my stash. ;)

Even if I were to speed up to complete 1 per month (never happen), I won't delete the stash.  I'm 74 now, so, I guess I'll just have to continue living for at least another 200 years.  If not, I'll just have to take them with me to "The Great Workbench In The Sky" and finish them there.  As no one seems to be able to tell me if that is possible or not, I guess I'll leave them to the grandkids.

I'll go another 20 + years, assuming my Pulmonary Fibrosis doesn't get me first. Now building 1 per month I could get my stash completed in 5 years, give or take.

Yep I have time.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

4 to 5 years and I plan to go another 30 years. Off to the store!

I've been looking at my stash and thinking of how quick I build. If I build 12 kits a year, so 1 a month which is not fast and not slow really, I have to live for another 30 years!! Its possible as it would make me 79, but I have a vision of completing the last one then dropping down dead - nice to have a goal in life I think

So my question to every one here, how long do you have to live to complete your stash? and do you think you'll make it?? Dead
