I have around 25 so far how many do you have.

Just curious as this hobby has given me great joy since I started only a few years ago.

2 closets, and 2 - 5 shelf storage racks full, not counting after market stuff, or the assorted ones in the living room, and kitchen that haven't made it into "permanent storage".... :-) :-)

I already know I'll never build them all..... so many are heading to new homes to be taken care of..... :-) :-)

Not counting PE sets and resin after market goodies,
I probably have about 350 kit in the hobby room and
in big boxes on shelves in the garge. However, there
is no one here to object to what I buy, so. . . . :-) :-)

And when I croak, my daughter can sell them all and
keep the cash, mkay?

Luckily I don’t have as many laying around as some of you guys.

Lets see 1 finished
2 being worked on.
1 dio started thats made up of 4 boxes of stuff.

In the stash I have.
4 AFVs
3 infantry sets.
2 planes.
2 civilian models
and about 5 metal figures
for a total of 16 kits.
(I think that all)

This list doesn’t include the few kits I still have from one I was a kid that I never built but havn’t found again yet, the train set that built but needs fixed up, or the 2 aircraft kits I finished a few years ago and now can’t find.

Also I have 2 more kits on the way.

Armor models? Well - checking my Excel data file, I show I have 215 - of which I've built about 31 so far. Currently working on a Dragon BOB Sherman M4A3 76mm VVSS.

All told? I'd rather not say.....

I'll let the photo's give you an idea (have posted them here before)....







My sanity is packaged in there somewhere....

About 40 or so. I have been trying (haha) not to buy any more lately. Having so many on hand makes it hard for me to decide what to start next.

Ive built about 6 well built models, but they are not fully complete. So far ive never actually built a complete model that ive thouht-yep its done. Ive got loads in my my unbuilt collection, although I have been thinning it out to just modern armor.

Hi Dan!

A couple of years ago I said to myself I'll stop buying kits when my stash hits the 100 mark. Now I say to myself I'll stop buying kit when my stash hits the 200 mark...

Some would say we are crazy... but I would reply we are driven by passion!
