Nah, I never get anything cool for Christmas. Socks and underwear.

Usually my brother gives me a bottle of Crown Royal, tho.........

And you betcha, Hobbes...good and heavy ! You never know what's going to end up on there. The books and photographs are quite heavy, and I'd rather have it over-built than crashing down ! Had that happen to some flimsy shelves at the old place, lost some pretty cool kits.

Cheers !

Thats pretty cool Toddster.  I could never organise myself to do that tho.  I'd rather keep my kits in a big pile and spend the 2 days building them ;)

You can build a pile in 2 days?! :o  Have a chat with Baz, he spends 2 years on one model.  :lol:

Nice work...  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

or mine or TSRjoes for that matter  :D  :lol:  ;)  
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Thanks to you I took all my models out of their giant rubbermaid bins and stashed then in a closet in my new tiny office. The pisser, I discovered I had triples and quadruples of things. Doubles aren't a big deal for me, but I have almost a dozen lightenings, and Tigercats and easily 20 ME-109s. AND I HATE ME-109'S.

Then I began to discover things like the same plastic, and diffferent box arts. Geeze I'm stunned. I need to do a proper inventory and start another campaign to get rid of more plastic.

Duhhhhhh.

Thank God the Princess of Darkness was out of town when I did this or I'd be in deep poopy.

how many of those kits contain two or three kits put together so as to hide them from your missus?

I encouraged by the future Mrs W to do an inventory 'for insurance purposes', although I'm not so sure that was the real reason... hmmm... you can guess she's an auditor. I was quite disappointed that I've only got about 300 kits  ;)
