My stash is over flowing, but I'm signed up for several campaigns for the winter months, so that will keep me busy.

I have a rather large stash built up. I went wild a few years ago and bought a big load of models. I was always wondering why I was doing that? But now I'm glad I did. I have been unimployed for going on 2 years now, and my large stash is a blessing! I cant afford to buy anything new, but then I dont need to!
If I wanted to I could start building my Trumpeter 1/350 aircraft carrier the Hornet, that would take me all winter. But I have a bunch of armor and a few planes I want to build first. So that will keep me buisy all winter long!

Cheers,

Garry

Since I already have Two planes and a couple of vehicles started, I do not have to delve into my stash this winter. Of course that means my stash will probably grow on it's own accord. I never said I could have too many models, no matter what my wife says I said.

The "all alone", "M113", and "recovery" campaigns will probably eat up most of winter hobby time. I am also in the process of building bases for my "softskin" and "incoming" campaigns. Three other models will be recieving bases as well. All of these will include figures. I have a small group build with Treadhead Gordon ongoing, building the bluetank M8. As its a pretty below par kit, it will eat up some time.
So the stash wont get hit that hard ... mores the pity. Its time to make room and bring in new kits. I recently bought dragons 3 in 1 Sd.Kfz 251 ausf D and would love to start it, but theres just too much underway.

The stash I have will last for many winters. This winter I think I will work on-
M24 Chaffee (Italeri)
A halftrack with panzerwerfer(Italeri)
Two knights at battle. 120 mm resin figures
(Verlinden)
Santa Claus cheramics figur. 150 mm I think.

I think this will keep me busy for the winter.

Ola People

Well for the winterperiod I have at least one campaign going on wich is the Up Front campaign for wich I have Italeri`s Jeep and a figure I need to scratchbuilt.
Then I`m also in the progress of sculpting my own Hawkeye Pierce fig. I just started my new Experimental german AT gun der Hammer. Working on a StuG that was around in Arnhem in 1944 with Aber PE metal Barrel and Zimmerit and I need to paint a 54 mm figure of a 101st Airborne soldier with a bazooka.

So it`s not really the stash that is big it`s the work I have on my projects.

Well, i dont have a "stash" but thanks to two of my online friends ( they will recognise themselves) i have a Tamiya WESPE, 2 sets of winter dress figures which i will use for Ardennes campaign.

I also have a Zvezda T-72 which i got for birthday but that one will wait a long time becouse i have some plans for it which will need greater improvement in my skills.

cheers

Here's just a sampling of what is in the "stash". No need to buy anything. Since this pic was taken, it has grown and is also better organized. "Q"

Peter-I can spare you the wrath of Emily! Just box up, say, 50% of the above listed kits & send them to the same address you mailed the profile to. I'll er, HOLD them for you until the move, that way she'll never see them...then, when you want them back, just...ummmm...well, we can cross that bridge after I burn it.

Thanks for the idea Rob...

And as far as Xmas presents....I have a few kits true...but not 5000plus...so you'll all have to wait a few more years...lol...make that decades.

My 'stash' is more than 60 kits right now so that's more than a winter worth of building. I plan on finishing a M923 A1 that I started last winter along with a Blue Angels F-18 that I started at the same time with my daughter. If that gets done (along with some books shelves and other household projects) then I'll have to pick one from the 'stash'. Decisions, decisions, decisions! Oh, well!

With more than 200 kits in the stash, the only problem is deciding which one to build!!!!
