As a counterpoint to all the bragging about what you've managed to acquire, I thought it might be a good idea to show how you've managed to downsize your stashes, be it donations, selling to club members, disposal to gullible yet rich idiots on ebay, etc, etc.

Today, I flogged off a Revell 144th Concorde and 72nd Shackleton, plus an Airfix 144th Comet airliner.

The loft is less three boxes (two largish) and my pocket bulging with several notes.

Whereas my loft now has three new boxes in it.

My youngest daughter started on one of my kits yesterday does that count?

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid

How about a kit from the stash that I build, but then give away the finished kit?  I assume this would fall into the stash reduction category?  If so, the the Jeep I'm slowly working on for my Father in Law would count.
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

QuoteIf it means there's one less kit in your collection - yes.  Donation to siblings/offsprings does count and only the most pedantic and churlish of individuals would argue.
You called ?  :P  
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

No, really!!

Am today finally getting to the Post Office to mail out prizes to all the participants of the Vac-Form Group Build.  But that serves only to make room for a handful of new kits!
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

I've got a kit going to Mike Wren for the Secret Santa, & a kit & two books that I offered for prizes in a charity raffle on another forum.

The books are both small & light & are going within the UK, so no problem there.  Trouble is, the kit, a Revell 1/32 F-16 in a ruddy great box, wheres that going I hear you ask?  Cyprus!!!!!  Just my bloody luck, postage'll cost me a fortune!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I have vowed to start on every model in my stash.




As for finishing them, well...  :rolleyes:  :dum:

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.
