I have 21 kits in my stash waiting to be built. My wife always freaks out about how many I have waiting. It's almost like my hobby is more buying kits than building them! I was curious as how many you have waiting in your stash to be built and if you get much flak from your spouse for it?

No Spouse...
Several hundred.....

I dont have as many as some, but more than i will build anytime soon.

I've got about half a dozen full resin kits, approx 20 plastic kits, a dozen resin conversions. 30 or so resin and white metal figures, a dozen sets of plastic figures.

21 ????? That's the number I have on the bookcase in the front room

And at least another 100 (minimum) elsewhere. SWMBO isn't too bothered as long as they don't interfere with her clothing collection

I have:
50+ AFV and softskins
10+ Arty pieces
30+ 120mm Figures
20+ Busts of various sizes
40+ 54mm Airfix figures
30+ boxes of 1/35 plastic figs (mostly dragon some tristar and Tam.)
400 + boxes of Resin 1/35 figures (Im addicted)
100+ of whitemetal various scale figures.
a handful of 1/9 and 1/15 figures.
2 large boxes of aftermarket stuff.

Way, way too many. I sold off 10 AFV kits recently on Ebay but I just can't seem to part with any more.

I'm past caring about how much I spent - at least I'll have something to build when I retire
Hell I even just grab a beer and go and dig through stash every now and then - before I realize it I have been in the garage for 1.5 hours!!!

About a dozen kits and lots of flak

Lets see....

about a dozen 1:72 AFV from WW2 to modern

A couple of 250 and 251 German Halftracks in 1:35 and some nice big Russian cold war stuff that I’m going to add to day when I go to the LHS

Hi all.
Only got back into the hobby a couple of months ago but so far its,,
3 finished.
1 almost done
1 started
12 in the stash
all 1/72 ww2 aircraft

Oh no... Here goes the kit counting again :-) :-) I'm 19 and I don't wanna count mine. Too many to mention :-) :-) :-) Have 'round 50 or more and it keeps growing. :-) :-)

last count 320. Only buy 'special' kits* now as I have no more room to stash the stash.(story to wife)

* special kits=pretty much anything that catches my fancy

Cheers,
C.

I have got about 15 un-made boxes, including figure boxes, 4 vehicles that have been started and about 8 Dio 's all in boxes for time being until I get some selving in the garage. I have to like most married blokes hide them from the missus. I think she would be supprised on how many I actaully have.

:-) :-)

I have been collecting since 1977--I have lost track of the actual number of unbuilt kits--probably around 2500-3000 though. My wife doesnt say anything about them except that I could be spending money on a lot worse things. I should do an inventory and make an actual count and maybe sell some of the older stuff on Ebay or something. I do have most of them in labeled boxes and have them listed on my pc--thats why I got into the pc in the first place.

Well...it looks like I have about 621. Kind of scary really. If there was ever a fire, the area would be declared a toxic waste dump and totally uninhabital.

Me, I'm a newbie with 300+ compared to this guy!

I cannot quite imagine without starting to drool...

Now THAT'S a collection!

Hey Guys, After about 5 years I have 250 to 300 unbuilt and 50 or so built. SWMBO doesn't care, considering that the scrapbooking ribbon that the cat ate cost $1000 to diagnose and fix, her hobby is more expensive than mine.

Dan

I've about 12 kits and dozens of figures to be completed.

More than I'll ever be able to build in my lifetime according to my wife

Only about 150....

I just started modeling again almost a year ago but already have 3 AFVs, 2 Planes, 2 figure kits, and 2 civilian vehicle from the last time I was modeling. (Probably have more once I find them)

I also have 1 ship and 2 figure kits I’m currently working on if they count.

I have approximately 50 kits in my stash. AFV's car's and figure's. At my current building rate, my stash should be reduced to zero in about 8 years, assuming I don't buy new ones, which I naturally will.

My wife doesn't complain much about it. Yet.

A couple of hundred, mainly 1/72 aircraft but also 1/144 aircraft, 1/35 armour, 1/700 ships and 1/24 cars with about 10 1/48 aircraft.

1/144 is my new scale... boxes are smaller :-) can buy more
Also they take up less room on the shelf.

Ciao

My wife said I crossed the line from builder to collector about two years ago...

I have about 100 planes (13 of Corsairs alone), two or three ships, about 15 cars, 8-9 1/35 vehicles. I had more kits, but last year I sold perhaps the half of them, as I realized I would never build them. As for figures, I have again 100+ 54mm figures, and at least a thousand 28mm gaming miniatures. My greatest problem was/is that I always work in other cities or even countries than my home, so I have only limited time to build and paint.

somewhere around 40 to 50 stashed on various top closet shelves where the wife don't look..........

I don't think its a lot untill I realize I only build about 5 or 6 a year and have only been in the hobby for 5 years now..

go figure..
