In My Stash GB : Threepeat

On the topic of a badge - I spent a few minutes googling 'model stash' images and found this one:

It was posted on www.starshipmodeler.net by a guy from MA.  His user name is 'Prince of Styrene II'.  Anyone know him?  Anyone him...?  Think he'd care if we used it (or modified it)?

I'm not sure if this image is 'perfect' but the whole sense of stuff just piled high on a bed seemed to set the 'appropriate' tone, if you know what I mean.

So, what do y'all think?  Is it workable, can we do something with it?

Not a bad pic, but I remember seeing a pic from a guy on the armor board of his stash.  It literally looked like his entire basement room was filled with models.  Might be worth investigating. 

As far as the number of voters goes, It's probably pretty good that we got 26-27 out of 30 to participate.  Most GBs I've been in have lost a few before the build even starts for various reasons.

Looks like I will be placing the Hind on the work bench Thursday morning. Have just ordered some Eduard detail sets and since the Dark Elf kit was a close second, I may have time to work on her as a break from the Hind from time to time.

That's the spirit Scotty. Just finish the Hind first

I will build it one day. Maybe next years IMS 4. I might then just put up a whole list of vac form kits.

To ollie:  There are 30 members so the maximum number of votes you can have is 30. I hope you voted for your own stash.

I have voted for my own stash.

Hey Windhawk - I should be able to take care of that list for you.  Remind me, when do polls close?  Is it midnight on Tuesday?  So I could put the list up Wednesday morning?

Thanks Boyd.  Much appreciated.
I will close the polls around midnight tommorrow (Tuesday).

Angel, I just checked your poll and it's still a close race. 
It could still swing, given that 4 people have not voted on your stash yet.

Ollie - I liked the Polikarpov I-16 that you did so well I picked one up myself as a "Gift to Me".   It is made by MPM ,was that the manufacture of the Vac kit youd did also ?

One final question - and I am sure you have answered this in past years, but I can't recall...  Other than seeing who 'self reports' as having voted here, is there anyway to see who has and who has not voted?

Not to my knowledge

Hi all Just got back from Ottawa and posted my votes.  Looks like there are a couple of ties in the works.

Bear

Archangel - if your Hind does indeed win, you should check out Cobra Company products for Hind add-ons. They make some amazing resin stuff for that kit. I know that they're currently on hiatus, but I believe there are some other online shops that stock some of their things.

I know someone said the Scooby Doo wagon was already voted in...but I believe there's another kit that may overtake it if the last 3 voters hit Maxsheridan's stash the right way! Dang early reporting of winners!

Just about wrapped up with my voting - only 7 more to go. The limitations of dialup...had to do it in bunches.

Just had a quick look with 29 votes I've got a two way tie and a possible four way tie depending on the last voter OH!!!! the agony, the uncertainty this is going to be good.

Cheers

Bear 

Well, I agreed to help Sir IL with posting results once the vote is done tomorrow night.  As a bit of a teaser, I thought I would update y'all on where the races stand thus far (don't worry, I won't reveal the specific kits... just how many are in the runnin'...)

So, what we see is that, of our 30 entrants, 13 of the races are decided, while 17 still hang in the balance and NEED ALL THOSE MISSING VOTES!!!!

It is a little odd that as you go down the list, the number of voters diminishes...

Well, we shall see what the next 36 hours brings for those of us who are still wondering what our future holds...

Yeah, Bear, your race is one of the interesting ones because so much hangs in the balance for that last voter (wasn't there a movie recently with Kevin Costner - I think- where he has to cast the deciding vote in the presidential election?  Well, its like that.... sorta... )

But, for sheer volume of voter chaos, I think jeff takes the cake.  He still has 7 of his kits that are mathmatically in the running for a win or a tie...

Oh goodness, no tie for me this year,  last year I was sooo sure of the outcome with three votes left I  pulled the kit out and started preliminary action. But, noooo, when the three votes came in I had to go through the agonizing process of the dreaded tiebreaker vote. Needless to say I put the "winning" kit back in the stash (where it sits faithfully) and pulled out the kit that was trailing by two with three votes remaining.

Don't be so sure of the vote until my wife has finished singing.

No. Mine was built from a very old Biplanes model kit. Good luck with your model, i look forward to seing some progress.

Very nice summary indeed Boyd.

Well, at 28 votes, I have one at 13, on at 12, and one at 11. This is closer than I thought it would be.

You musta been one of those in dupes' last group of dial-up 'to-dos'... lucky you.  I sure wish I'd get ONE MORE VOTE to settle my potential tie...

By the way, you actually have FIVE at 8 - man the potential mess that coulda been!!!   Not that I'd wish for that type of thing...

Yeah, you're in the same group as I am.  One of the guys who REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEDS those last votes!!  C'mon late voters, get to the polls!!!  You're killin' us here...

I did checked out Cobra Co. this morning and this was posted on their web site...

"Effective November 13, 2008, Cobra Company is no longer accepting orders.  

We should be back open for business in the near future and thank you for your patience and your business.The Cobra Company Staff"

The first time I wanted to order something from them and they shut down

At least I was able to find the Eduard interior set which looks pretty good.
