Are you playing Boggle often :-) :-) There seems not to be any dust on it
I personally like the Trivial Pursuit you have laying there could you write a review about that kit #:-) #:-) #:-)

Here is my Pig Pile. I realize i'm a amature compared to most of the people on the site but i've only been building and buying models for 1 year now..

I have a few more now than shown in the picture. All in All I have about 45 kits. At my Current rate of production That is enough to last me 5 years...

But even I know that is not enough.

Those are some ugly piles, mine is not nearly that big.
As to the question in your signature line Delbert, yes, you do have a problem.

Yikes, this guy is insane #:-)
Good thing he is already a pig.
That is a serious amount of "baggage" you've got there.
I doubt I will ever make that many models in my life!
Looking forward to some detailed pics,
Andrew

Here is Pig #24's Closet's..



This is the large closet in the living room of the apartment. its where I keep my tools and current projects..



this is the linin closet.. I get the top shelf.. it goes up further than the door.. ther are about 20 models worked into this shelf like a giant jigsaw puzzle.



This is the laundry closet where i have my washing machine.. I have basicly built a false ceiling around the top of it and to get to my stuff I have to stand on the washer.. I get the high places for my stuff because my wife cannot reach em. :> there are about 20 to 30 models in here..

HOLY COW! STug, how many projects are you working on? It seems like there are alot of open boxes with plastic sticking out. How do you keep them all straight? And how do you keep kids/visitors from poking around in there??
Otherwise that is the best butt kicking sty I have ever seen!! It truly brings a tear to my eye to see a guy create a such a piggy pyle for himself. I am only jealous that I don't have that many kits or that much paint/tools etc. YOU RULE THE STY!!
