Mopar - Thanks for your kind comments. Build your 4 kits and buy more.
Tojo72 - Thanks for your kind comments and inquisition. In short, I'm a modeler turned collector because I want the best of both worlds for my collection - quantity and quality. I built everything myself from the beginning - from warplanes to armors to warships; the biggest piece I built was Yamato 1:350,
until about 15 years ago that I began contracted out modeling services and stopped building by myself due to said reason. Still my build accounts for 15-20% of my collection, but they're mostly at back rows on high shelves and low shelves, not much seen. Right now I have 6 talented, award-winning modelers working on clearing my stash. I still buy a little bit, lately a third "Terminator" but this time from Zvezda.
Here are some proof of my own works:
