HOLMES Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hell, I got more than that in 1 box on the workbench Keep it that way....trust me it's a sickness! To tell the TRUTH they are NOT even MINE as they are spoken for ... so in reality I have NONE !! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 To paraphrase the great sage Crocodile Dundee: "That's not a Stash...Now THAT's a Stash!" I've probably got another couple dozen here and there around the house. Fortunately The Stash is about 95% 1/72 WWII aircraft, so it doesn't take up too much space. Oh, and here's Mandie's Stash..a bit more eclectic than mine, but she also has another couple dozen scattered about. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frankv74 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Okay, well my first wife did not like the models. oh well you can guess who one that arguement. My wife lets me have my own roon to myself for the models and they have to stay in that room. Though they sometimes stray to other parts of the house. But always get diverted back to here.

DDC Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Nice start Fulcrum. Looks like you'll have your own STASH in no time :) Im jealous of you folks who can get all your kits in one picture (and still be able to see what the kits are!) I had a sizable stash before i met my Mrs. Luckily she doesn't have a problem with them (Except that the kits are now starting to over flow the 2 builtin wardrobes), otherwise she wouldn't have lasted this long Keep up the good work Fulcrum, gotta post up milestones like 500th, 1000th Etc! Just remember to spend some time making them too Denzil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Good job, fulcrum. I've been on here since 2004 and I haven't got as many as that. It's a starter stash...what you've got. The only ones I have multiples are of the Esci MiG 23S. I shall end my stash collecting with the Hasegawa F-22 Raptor and then start building. :unsure: Edited September 27, 2010 by The_Animal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CorsairMan Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 A friend of mine was selling off his stash - he is planning a move in the spring and wanted to get as much sold as he could prior to the crunch time. He is mainly an armour guy but he had a good stash (50 or so) of aircraft. So my stash was about 24 and its now closer to 40. He had some pretty good stuff. I think his armor stash is easily 300+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Nice growth there! My stash ballooned for a while after I found ARC. I've been in the process of reducing it lately, but still have dozens of half-built kits around the workshop. I was close to 200 unbuilt kits at one point, but I think I'm back down to about 25-30, which is where it'll stay until I get all of them built, and I mean that, honest!

moeggo Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I know what your taking about with the wife.... When I start back in the hobby... I had 4 kits..... now I have about 80-100! They we living in my youngest sons room.. till he need more space. Now they are all in my bedrooms wardrobe. My wife's shoes on one side and then all my kits on the other! I have been told no more kits are allowed into the house, so I have started stash number to at work currently sitting at 15 kits and growing :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishGreek Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 My stash continues to grow. One in our family hobby/craft room (our 3rd floor) and the other out in my Garage. I must be over 200 kits now. Haven't counted in a while... Wife just rolls her eyes when the mail arrives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I was just re-entering the hobby when I found this site 6 years ago, I thought members here were nuts with giant stashes. I really thought you all were crazy. Then I realized I was generating quite a pile. Now, after 6 years, I have over 350 in the stash, and have built 190. I've been totally sucked back in to the hobby! And I love it! :( :( Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 My stash is just shy of 300 kits and not growing much more now. I have them stacked to the ceiling next to my desk.......I'm doomed if we ever get an earth quake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Abakan Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 my current stash atm is about 700 kits in all scales. Considering that I have build exactely 1/2 kit this year ( Revellogram 1/48 109G10 ) and my Nephew 2 ( Hobby Boss 163 and 262 ) it will last decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 after reading and seeing these pics, I don't think my "stash" can be considered a "stash." lol I have about 25 kits, only duplicates are 3 tomcats. Since I have found ARC, My stash has grown, I never considered keeping unbuilt kits. I would get one, build it, and then get another one, and so on. I'm happy with my kits, and am trying to add just a few more. I'm really picky about what I like, mainly modern jets. I have one prop that i think is pretty cool. I'm also trying to up my quality, get a few more hasegawas and tamiyas in the mix, instead of revell-ograms. heading to the Buy/Sell section after seeing this post!!! haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phasephantomphixer Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 In order to "Shrink the swelling" I have resorted to combining Like kits by bagging parts and stacking fuselage halves. This way my four Revell Strike Eagles appear to be one. Was only able to get two 1/48 C-130's in one box though... Other problem for me is I Love Aircraft-Armor-ships-Cars-Trucks-figures- I do have to inventory it all someday for insurance purposes... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I feel like such an underachiever. I have a long way to go. And some of you have a hobby store, not a stash. Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 You sure about that, Jon? I'm lucky that I delayed getting my morning coffee... it could have ended up all over my computer screen! I'm determined. Dropping money on kits has taken a back seat to WWII Army Air Force pilot uniform groupings. They're a little pricier than buying the kit to go along with them. The P-47 pilot grouping I'd love to get my hands on right now is gonna run me $1100, which is well more than I can afford, so I've gotta scrimp and save every last bit I can to put a down payment on it!
