Kits In Store

[Ronnie]

I wonder how many kits members tend to hold in stock? I have 180 (the wife thinks too many) but I'm sure that can be well beaten. Interesting to see who holds the record........................................

[Test Graham]

I have over 600. There are claims of well over a thousand. As you can imagine, this subject crops up fairly often.

Not all Cold War....or is that what you particularly intended?

[Ronnie]

No, not all Cold War but mainly 1950's to date with some WW2 inherited from my son, and a few airliners thrown in for good measure. 600 is really impressive - on average how many do you complete in a year?

Well over 300......but it's the comments SWMBO makes when you buy another one ....... usually in the shop. Something along the lines of " you have more stock than the shop, why do you need more??"

If you make remarks about the amount of new cloths she's bought and not worn as a come back it can get messy.....trust me!

Back to the plot....34 built spitfires (1/48), with another 27 quivering in their boxes.

Somewhere between 20 and 30, a few with work already started (a 1/24th Fw190 and a 1/25th Tiger are two of them, started many years ago). I'm a light-weight.

OK, I'll bite ...

More and better, as a rule, though my local model shop still beats me hands-down on quality. 208 as of Saturday morning, with a build rate of seven in three years, so I'm looking forward to living til I'm 110. Only one Spitfire, though, and even that's a Seafire.

I have about 12 and thats where its going to stay, made the mistake of hoarding models when I was young, but have become stronger willed and say to myself "Build what you have and save the money" as I know those 12 models will take me a long time anyway.

Oh dear.... thats what I've done......

[The wooksta V2.0]

Somewhere around the 1000+ mark for a stash that's in two separate locations.

[-james-]

I have none! I dont have the money to just keep buying them , but there are times when ive got nothing else to do and really wish I had a model to make, hmmm,, may got to the lhs lol

[Ronnie]

Wow - I'm impressed !! Now I've got an answer for the wife over kit numbers. Don't think I'll be able make them all though. At six builds a year I'll be 95 when I finish, assuming I don't buy any more. And that's not likely..............................

At least we have the satisfaction of having bought kits when they were cheap. I have some that cost 99p

Neil, I guess from your name you're a Phantom Phanatic like me, shame all the real ones (FG1 & FGR2) have long gone - but they live on in the model store.

seven built so far, one on the go at the moment, sixteen still to go.

[F111Fan]

I have around 20 in storage and a ridiculous 13 on the go-I REALLY need to do some painting when i get my airbrush!

I'm impressed - I did six once at one time, three jets and three helos all raspberry ripple, needed counselling at the end

[spitfire23bc]

About 20 in the stash, 3 on the go currently (although one of those is only pretending - still waiting for a very elusive PE set).

Dan

[XL929]

Probably between 100-120 in the stash but I try and keep work in progress to one or maybe two.

Must admit that some evenings instead of actually doing some model making I can happily spend ages looking through boxes at the sprues, decals and instructions.....is that weird?!?

[gishuk]

i have about 15 or so i think. trying to keep something near a one in one out policy which is generally working
