Jeeze...more than I can even recall. If we start back when I started building...and it only took a Saturday afternoon to complete a kit, and continue to the present...I'm lucky to finish 4 kits a year...I'd estimate 250+ kits.

Let's see, we'd have to go back to the mid to late 50's and the AMT/SMP annual, quasi-promo, 3 in 1 kits: a car model with engine, a generic customizing sprue, a generic stock car racer sprue and a flame or scalloping decal sheet, and all those dragsters that went to their screaming doom across the living room floor and crashing in to the den's carpet. There's be one of those every week or two. The the many, many aircraft, box-scale Revell on the way cool ball and socket stands, 1/48 Monogram with all those working parts, and Airfix introducing detail (i.e., rivets, and lots of them,) in 1/72. Monogram, Lifelike and Revell armor in more or less 1/32 -1/35 scale. The numbers would be staggering.

Hi there!

How many models have I built? Too many to remember...

How many have I bought? Too frightening to think about!!!

All the best

In my entire life? Are you kidding? I just can´t remember them all, some of the airplanes I´ve built in the older days I gave to friends and family, most recently I´ve built some 25 armor kits, the most recent was the Italeri Panzer IV ausf G in an winter camo scheme.

Since 8 years old with MPC and AMt car kits. Of course Monogram, Revell and Aurora kits.
(remember the Revell 57 Nomad kit?) :-) Those were the days when all we worried about was homework, baseball or football practice, baseball card and model airplanes. Ah yes memories! Slapping a Corsair together with Carly Simon's "Your So Vain" playing on the radio, AM radio that is. I digress, I would say currently about 250 plane, 30 tanks and about 100 cars, and couple of sci fi (Aurora) and abourt ten ships. The ship models can be really addicting As if i'm not addicted with all the models I have now!

Hard to say.... I cranked out some quickie stuff when I was young. Glue and Go kinda stuff.
I'd have to say around 100 or so.

In a serious way it's more like 60-70.

I am not sure about how many I have built. I have done them all though. Autos, Aircraft, AFVs and even some Sci Fi.

One thing for sure ... they are a lot easier to buy than to build. :-) :-)
