Old stash has found a new home (avert your eyes!)

[Howard of Effingham]

  gulp!

i see several kits in this stash i have in my own.....

anyhow, what happened to all the boxes that this lot was in? did you start your own packaging store?  

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Time zones being what they are, I've only just opened this thread. Like Nev, I'm going to be showing this to Mrs. Hunter-Gatherer when she gets in from work tonight..... looking forward to seeing the look on her face..... even now I can haer a husky German voice saying

"Don't even THINK about it....."

I hope there is beer in that fridge! Visitors are going to need a cold one when they see that stash !

Ahem,

Right.  All very nice, but when does this new hobby shop open?  Main entrance through the hatch?  Business hours?  C'mon, when do you open for business??

[Tojo633]

I can think of someone elses who's "Dungeon" that is like this except that he has not shelved it just tons of boxes, I wonder who.........

I tried to find that Boeing 247 in your shots but no dice...

This is every modeller's vision of heaven! I'm really glad you got the hobby room together in time for winter!

I can't thank you enough for posting this, Mr Howling Mouse!

Yeah, I figured these pics should get a lot of you off any hook you might have with your own spouses re: model collections.  I still think Jeffry's collection (a whole seacan's worth) is bigger than mine, though!

The girl with the lighter hair is my daughter; the other young lady is her friend, Jenna.  Their both about 4 ft tall.  The ceiling is 9-feet, for reference. 

BdaB: the 247 is on the second shelf up in the central section, deep inside the eight-foot wide section along with the rest of my civvie jobs.

And, no, it isn't all yet organized and I've already forgotten what lies behind the visible rows!!!!

As for that A-10 X-Wing, I think I did mention it on the site at some point: it is going to blow your mind!

And this is only SOME of the unbuilt kits.  Nearly all the SF kits remain boxed up.  They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step in curing oneself (so I avoid any such admissions like the plague, naturally!).

Very impressive jhm,  makes my 850+ somewhat minuscule

bU**ER ME SIDEWAYS,    and I thought I had a reasonably large collection. I'm gonna have to get me some shelves and get organised.

Gladly, I put a lot of work into those F-16"T" puppies, especially the scratchbuilt T-tails and relocating the landing gear bays aft on the fuselage.  Here are the original builds and 2 fantastic photo treatments done by our very own BlackOps:

He lives in Canada. I think that by Canadian Law, all fridges in Canada must have at least one beer, preferably Canadian. Otherwise the owner gets fined and sent to Detroit for the summer - or something like that.
