DDC Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm mainly a plane guy, they make up about 85% of my stash. Any type, any time period, any scale, any medium. THe next biggest category is cars at about 10%. Mainly 24/25th whatever looks good :) THe rest is scifi, moving targets, and 1floating target ;) Denzil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've dabbled in just about everything except for surface ships. I've done (or have kits of): Sci Fi Real Space Planes (modern and WW2, plus civilian) Cars (race cars mainly, Indy, F1 and Nascar, but some stock and some Rally subjects as well) A tiny bit of Armor (haven't built anything, but I have a couple kits of stuff I want to do) Submarines (modern as opposed to WW2 stuff) As for other than static, I have built one RC car, which was a Tamiya Indy Lola almost 20 years ago. I've also flown model rockets and some of those were scale models. A few of my scale rocket kits are model rockets since that is the only way to get some subjects (such as the Estes Mercury Atlas I have). I've also flown the park flyer RC planes. I've not finished a kit, but I have a couple stick and tissue balsa models as well and have a three quarters finished RC rocket glider in my stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve N Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 My kit stash and finished models are comprised of about 95% 1/72 WWII aircraft. But I dabble in other genres occaisionally. I built the old Revell USS Arizona a couple years ago, and back in the 90s I built a model of my car (a 1980 Mustang) and a T.Rex skeleton. I've also been known to build a sci-fi subject now and then, and I've even been tinkering off-and-on with the Monogram Snap-Tite HO scale Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive. I think about the only thing I haven't really built is a serious armor or figure subject (I glued a few tanks together as a kid, but I don't really count those as "serious" models.)

71roadrunner426 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I mainly do 1/48 WWII aircraft, but I have done Sci-Fi but only Fine Molds Star Wars subjects. I used to do Nascar models especially the old MPC Winston Cup cars from the 70's mainly Mopars but the price on E-bay was just way to crazy for some of the cars, Then did some Armor, some jets mainly Vietnam era, but my main modeling subject is WWII aircraft, Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I build 1/72 planes (jets mostly, a few props) and 1/24 rally cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bikerider Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I was doing mostly HO scale trains for years but got pretty bored with that. Combined with a move to a new house and having to re-start the train layout (again) - well that just de-motivated me. So I am back to planes. Mostly 1/48 modern fighters. It is fulfilling my wanting to be a fighter pilot when I was a kid, but not being able to cuz of bad eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tate Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 1/48 scale aircraft exclusively for me. I've done three 1/35 armor kits in the past decade and there's still an Abrams in the stash, but the armor bug rarely bites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Everything but auto Same as me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have in my stash the following catagories of models... * armor * aircraft * ships * sci-fi Anyone else here buy multiple catagories of models? If so, what catagories? * aircraft * armor * ships * autos gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Mostly aircraft, but I do also build armor and the occasional ship or auto. to say you build aircraft is putting it kinda lightly! You build very, very nice aircraft in my book! gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey1968 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 As of now, since I have just returned to modelling: Ships armor military aircraft military Figures sci-fi Automotive Just recently purchased the Cylon Raider from the newer BSG series (have the Viper MKII and MKVII on order) and have the Fibre Optic ST Enterprise. Only have a small stash of 35 kits of various genres atm but its growing each week . Darryl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishGreek Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I like it all, although I haven't really built (read completed) many. I have Jets, Props, Armor, Cars, Ships and some Sci-fi in my collection. I have about 8 aircraft at various completion states, 2 finished armor models (plus a couple others stalled and one near complete), a couple ships at various points but no cars or sci-fi started... :huh: too many things interest me I guess.

IrishGreek Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I build almost planes almost exclusively. I've built 215 kits since I got back into the hobby in 2003 and only 13 weren't planes (9 rockets/missiles, 1 sub, 1 ship, 1 Apollo-Soyuz link, 1 Apollo landing site). On the other hand, I do build flying model rockets. I have quite a few of those. Mike Mike, 215 is a very impressive (to me anyhow) number to have completed. Well-done!

Av8fan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have Jets/Props a few tanks, Sci-FI Oh and a few Tamiya F-1 cars. Basically if it interests me, I at least consider it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have Planes (military and civilian), figures, spacecraft, some NASCARS and Sci-fi. I like to build different things some times, this improve the skills :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philp Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 If it is 1/72nd scale I will build it: Aircraft Armor Boats Sci-Fi Will also do other scales as needed (mainly sci-fi but a couple 35th scale armor and 48th scale planes in the stash) Will also build figures (mainly fantasy or sci-fi) and Autos but they pretty much need to be Movie/TV related or designed by Tom Daniels.

mz826 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I just stick to my WWII props in 1 32, I have thought about trying some of the WWI stuff but have to work on my rigging before I tackle them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Par429 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hey- A very diverse group we have here! I build mostly a split between autos and aircraft. Airplanes because I love the history, autos for the creativity you can put into them. I also build the occasional ship or figure or even a Japanese Temple. For other stuff, sometimes I build costume props for sci-fi or anime conventions. Anyone else into steampunk? I've been building steampunk weapons lately. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Only one type of subject for me, but three categories of build: 'Snigger', 'Guffaw' and 'Aaarg! Need Tena for men...'! However, constantly prey to temptation (lately, the siren-song of the Zvezda 1/35 T-90) -or sometimes a bit off the beaten track: the Doyusha 'Himeji-jo' 17th Century castle, or Aoshima 'Ryo Ei *****' squid boat... maybe one day. (As in 'maybe one day I'll actually FINISH something!') Huh? "*****": The Censor doesn't like common Japanese nautical names? OK: Mike Alpha Romeo Uniform.

Flying Pancake Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I like taking breaks and changing subjects. In my stash is: 1/72 WWII aircraft and armor 1/700 WWII ships. I find 1/700 ships the most impressive models when done right with etching and rigging. 1/24 90's and 80's Japanese cars. Gundam (HG and MG) I guess the only things that's not in the stash are motorcycles and figures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I build mostly 1/72 aircraft. I have a few 1/48 planes, a handful of 1/32 scale planes, and a decent sized collection of 1/72 and 1/35 armor. I like ships, but stink at building them, so I don't go down that route any more. I would be interested in trying my hand at some real-space subjects, but with as little time as I have for modeling lately, I stick to what gives me the most satisfaction. Little prob driven airplanes. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
