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

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.....

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...
