Closet full of models ... is it just me? [:I]

my gosh, Wolf, you have a bigger inventory than HObbytown in Lexington, KY. I wish i could afford a collection like that, but i buy one, build one, buy one, build one. Being retired, i can spend as much or as little time as i want, and with no wife to put her foot down and come up with all those "honey dews", i have a good life.

Blackwolf,
I stand in awe of your hobby shop - er, I mean collection.

Electricjet,

QUOTE: My wife matter of factly pointed out that it takes me at least 4 months of spare time to build a kit and at that rate I would need to live until I was over 100 years old to complete the kits in the closet.

So what's her point? As long as you have kits to build, you'll
never die.

Hey sled,
Let me see what I can do for ya!! I'll do some checking around for a bird dog. There has to be at least one somewhere. Where I dont know so if I find one you'll be the first to know K..
Flaps up, MIke

Thanks
I will keep cruising the internet. Looking for that Bird Dog. I can smell it around the corner. I will own it one day. But, I can always come here. You guys crack me up.

Hey sled,
I think shesa keeper my friend. As for my collection, I'm pushing almost 200 unbuilt kits.
What can I say it keeps me outta trouble and my girlfriend knows where I'm at at all times
Flaps up, Mike

Blackwolf-
would you happen to have a Mitsubishi 3000GT in that monstrous collection of yours? How about an Acura NSX? If so, would you be willing to sell?

hey blackwolf;
well at least I don't feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have a real life, but my down fall I don't have anywhere to show them when I'm done, no room, but I'm going to be a good follower in your ways oh masterfully one, please-PLEASE TEACH ME, your wise ways oh masterfull one, I need your guidance

I just showed the above pics to my wife. Thanks, Blackwolf. Now she doesn't see much reason to complain about my collection. It pretty much fills my 7x4-foot walk-in closet and includes somewhere between 270 and 300 kits.

Wait, I just remembered something. She didn't have reason to criticize after seeing that 1:72 scale carrier with the full complement of planes, stores in the hangar, and internal lights a few years back. That quiet time lasted all of 2 months.

Oh, well. At least she's a psychologist. Whenever I do realize I need therapy for this obsession-inducing hobby, I can get it for free!


I couldn't even find my way back to "normal" with the Hubble!

Blackwolf- It's OK to have your models kept in the closet, as long as YOU come out of the closet :) LOL!

Ho Ho Ho, I couldn't resist making a funny at your expense, sorry! This topic should be re-nammed to: "Blackwolfscd Roast"

Blackwolf

Thanks. Now that you refreshed my young mind. You are correct. But you never know. you could slip up. I do like that collection.

MEET THE SUBLIME .

Blackwolf, how old will you be when you've worked through that lot?

At my current rate, I'll be about 130 before my closet's empty. Assuming I don't buy any more. Not much chance of that happening!

holy snappin a***H***s!!! That sure is a lot of models... bet someone can't wait till they retire. :-)

I showed my wife blackwolfe's picts, and that still didn't change her tune - alls it got was a raised eyebrow and a roll of the eyes. Luckily alls I have to do is point out the closet, bureau, and armoire and I am on safe ground again to my piddelin 200 kits stored in my loft/work area.

Hey Blackwolf WOW what a collection, it sure puts my (at a rough guess) 2-3 hundred kits to shame. i recently started a build2 buy 1 policy to try and get the numbers down but it aint working too well(in the last month i have bought 2 and completed 0)but i have done some work on my Dambuster Lanc and a Russian Spitfire thats going to be the weathering job from hell, i am aiming at it looking TOTALY battered but still airworthy. anyway all my kits are stored in my model room which is in my loft and to get up there i have to climb a ladder then pull myself up through the hatch and as my wife isn't physicaly strong enough to do that it don't matter how many kits i have unbuilt or if i buy one that i allready have cos she wont know(unless she reads this of course then i AM in trouble, LoL)....Greg

LOL, I do what I can to help my fellow modelers!

If I remember right, Sled, you're looking for a 48th 0-1? I do have one of the Model USA kits but I'm going to keep it, unfortunately.

It's sort of an ugly kit, and I normally would be inclined to ditch it. But the Bird Dog was one of my Dad's faves and he never got to build any of his 0-1's, so I think someday I'm going to build it for him.

However, Butz has one I sold him sometime back. He may be tired of it by now so I'll inquire into it for 'ya.


Fade to Black...

Hey Blackwolf

Thanks for your pics. My wife has no complaints about the 20 or so models that I have waiting. By chance would you have an o-1 bird dog sitting around. If so, would you be willing to sell it?

Eric

"Hi, my name is Blackwolf, and I'm... I'm... I'm a modeler..."

*applause*

"Welcome to PLA, Blackwolf. We're here for you if you need anything, any help at all..."

"Well, yes I do need help...

"You need help to kick this habit that has taken over your life, don't you?"

"Well..."

"It's okay, we're here to help."

"That's GREAT, because I'm really having trouble finding a Fine Molds Kikka. Can ya'll point me in the right direction?"

- Pointing to the exit -

"GET OUTTA HERE!!!!"


Fade to Black...

You see electricjet? Blackwolf lives in the closet and the models have the rest of his house.

Show that to your wife and she'll realize that you don't have that bad a problem. Blackwolf is going to start PLA (plastic modelers annonomous) for those with a real addiction!!!!
I'll be joining too!

Eric

I wouldn't call it a closet...
