How Many Kits In Your Stash?

[Cap'n Wannabe]

Somewhere between 150 and 200.

[B-1 Nut]

I have about 75-ish. Only 1/48 and 1/32....maybe two 1/72 kits and one 1/144.

I need to update my spreadsheet.

It got really out of hand. I used to have only about 12.

I blame all of you for building such nice models that made me want to do the same; thus resulting in my considerable stash.

Good news is, I haven't really bought a kit in months.

What comes after 99 and before 1,000,000???

[terrysumner]

Around 600. 2 boats (350th Enterprise and 72nd Gato sub), 20 armor, around 200 automotive and the rest aircraft. Also 250+ aftermarket resin/photoetch items, over 200 decal sheets, 200+ books, 50+ video tapes and/or DVD's, and too many bottles of paint to count! LOL

[Unit19]

Around 135 mostly in 1:48. I too have slowed down purchasing, as I have about 75% of the available cold war acft I want to build. I'm still look on the lookout for great deals , decals and after-market. Mostly I'm looking for the cold war Russian, French, Swedish and British planes which are harder to find in 1:48. My wife has noted my decrease in spending and out of left field told me I could buy a paint booth for my Christmas present from her. Can you believe it?

IMy database (A lot of us does that, don't we? :) ) informs me that I stand at 341, mainly 1/72 scale aircraft and armour, with sci-fi and some sea power thrown in...

I'm building an Excel spreadsheet for that. I think mine is between 50-100. I haven't finished counting.

[mhoupt]

Zero, when I finish models I go an buy another one. I don't have a stash =(

Very good for you. Let the LHS keep the stash :-). I keep saying i want to do this and just don't. Stick to it :-)

Was at 157 kits. Hadn't built in a very long while so I donated them all to the local IPMS chapter and have dropped the hobby for a while longer. Still like to visit here and post the occasional photo (aircraft of course).

Happy Modeling to everyone.

Wow! more choice there than at my LHS!!!

"only" got 40some 1/48 jets in the stach... and 10 on the bench!

also have 5 1/48 props and 6 tamiya cars&f-1...

[Backfire]

I limit myself to a maximum of 50 in the stash at any one time, so if I want to add anything, I have to make sure I build something first... or at least start on a kit.

The result is usually 3- 4 started kits on my workbench.

I have 360. Yikes.

I remember when I joined the ARC forums that I thought people were absolutely crazy to have a stash of kits. But then I started learning about all the cool kits and companies out there, and I couldn't help myself!

You guys corrupted me! :)

341 kits, mostly 1:72 aircraft, including 198 F/A-18A/B/C/D/E/Fs. This does not count the disposal list.

Don't know lost count. They are mostly 1:72 including my almost complete Matchbox collection!! There are more pile's around my office but much smaller. Most are cheap buys off Ebay.

I need to get out more!!

That's not a stash mate. You brought home the whole store.

I'm at 14, including 2 kits that are 95% done. The shopping cart online has 9 more waiting until I click check-out.

[Rex]

that Matchbox collection is cooool

1600? "see honey, I'm not so bad"

I have 444 aircraft kits in a Paradox database, with tables for weapons, decals, etc, etc

she counts seats, photoetch, decals and weapons sets as models,,,,so, her number is higher than mine,,,,,,,but, I tell her that seats and missiles and tow tractors are supplies, not models,,,,,ack, that doesn't work, then she wants to get into paints

"accidentally" having enough planes to fill 5 real aircraft carriers is either a blessing,,,,or a curse, not sure which

the worst part?,,,,,there are still more to buy that I "need" for my theme,,,,,bit of time before I have to run out and get them, though

Excel DOES have a tendency of doing that if your spreadsheet reaches 900+.

I'd forgotten that. So my database has space for another 669 before it's not big enough ...

I recently started cataloging all of my kits, decals, PE, and resin as of Nov. 19th, I took the whole week off from work, and it's still ongoing. ;)

That's, er, one way to use your time off ... :P

[theplasticsurgeon]

140 in my stash.

All detailed in a spreadsheet, so I can answer the question at any time.

[Patrick_Nevin]

Anyone else got the 'hey Mr. Burglar' thing going on?

I own three part-started Starfix 109's, for his benefit...

[Sukhoi Su-27]

I have around 50, 35 planes andrest are tanks ;)

[roym]

Funny, I just did a count myself this weekend.

So far, it stands at about 325. I was shocked. I figured about 180-200 at most.

Mostly aircraft, but broken down as follows;

1/72

258 aircraft, of which 4 are vacforms, and 67 are the Matchbox collection (glad to see I'm not alone here, I think...)

At least 19 are for the Irish Air Corps collection and most of the rest are post-war, jets props and helos.

1/700-1/720 ships,

31, of which 18 are aircraft carriers and all are post war.

1/144

8

1/48 aircraft

9, all post-war/modern jets.

1/24-1/25 cars,

6

1/72 boats/ships

3

1/350 scale CVN carriers

2 (Enterprise and Nimitz)

1/32

2 (Tamiya F-14A and Has 109)

1/24

1 Airfix Sea Harrier.

My themes are (in 1/72) Irish Air Corps, Naval aviation, USS Nimitz 75-87, South Atlantic 1982, (1/700) Post-war Navies/Carriers.

The other side of the ledger is as follows (i.e. built models that have not been scrapped or dumped!)

Approx 90 (another shock!) 1/72 aircraft, 20 1/700/720 warships, 6 1/144 aircraft, 5 1/24/25 cars and 4 1/76 military vehicles. Grand total of about 124.

I don't count all the individual aircraft that come with the 350th CVNs. If I did I'd be committed!

I get the impression there are a large number of shopping addicts on here rather than model builders :P It's been mentioned before, but what do you do with a pile of 2000 kits ( other than open a shop ). Most modellers would be dead before clearing a quarter of that number. The other thing that confuses me is why people have a pile of 10 identical kits amongst their stash. Two or three I could understand to cover a few variants, but I've seen a number of stash photos with piles and piles of identical kits. Is this really a forum for shopping addicts? ;)

I have 5 kits ( mostly 1/48 bombers ), only two of which I bought, the others were given to me by friends clearing out their workshops. I consider that a large supply that will last me a few years. I don't feel the need to collect further kits until these are built and out of the way.

[Big Nick]

I've got about 140 kits in the stash (don't ask me to get up and count them all!), some in my room and some in the loft as winter insulation! When I got back into the hobby 9 years ago I went on a kit buying spree and realised about 4 years ago I wasn't interested in building many of them. At that point I had about 250.

So what I did was to sell most of the ones I didn't want and get a few more that I really did want. Lately I've been buying just the kits I want for particular builds but that doesn't stop me from having 20 half-done models on the go or from keeping the stash 'just in case' :wub:
