how many is too many

Women hold eminent domain rights to you and your stash!

One of several reasons why I choose to be single and childless LOL

Between 150 -200.

Have got lot of kits that I could get rid of but every time I start I get over taken with pangs of regret.


Missus doesn't know because she rarely comes out to the shed.

[Mossie]

Not sure without going into the shed & counting but somewhere around 30-40, a piddling amount compared to some here but I still get threatening looks every time I bring one home.  Talking about that, the missus has just gone to bed so I can smuggle in the MH-53J I bought today!  I'm not kidding!

I've lost count, but before I went on my latest buying binge, I had about 250 in the stash (closer to 300 now that I got the latest spat of madness out of my head).

When I get going, I'll build roughly 20-40 at a time (y'all know I'm not kidding), but my muse has been MIA since sometime last year.

I sold a big chunk of kits last month, but I still have close to 200-300. After I sold the big lot of kits, my wife said "Good! Now you have room to buy more!". She knits & sews (so when you guys come up with masterpieces, I don't have far to go for the yarn & needles) and she's a great cook too.
I think I'll keep her!


My biggest problem is my collection of unfinished and started kits - probably about 50. Some kits only have a couple of parts glued together, but I've completely lost interest in finishing them. Others are all but finished (they need some paint or a few parts glued on) and have been sitting in boxes for years. My next project is to finish off at least two of those all-but kits.

I had to go count.  300 give or take a few.

I have 180+ and that is just about enough for me, any more than that and I would not live long enough to build them all. I will buy more kits in the future but I do not intend to buy as many as I have the last two years, for certain I will get the 1/48 scale Dragon Ta 152C when its released and maybe the Eduard Fw 190D-9 too but after that I just don't need anything else except paint, glue, and decal sheets.

A mere 19.5 kits. I figure that must be the lowest yet. Got another 200+ completed kits, which is surprising, since i built most of them in Tanzania, where i did not have access to a LHS. (had to go by Swissair MD11 to Copenhagen!)

[Radish]

Don't know and don't care.
Probably around 1000 give or take 100 or so.
Some downsizing has taken place recently though, and will continue.

[nev]

Just remembered my wifes complaint - "I don't mind you buying them all, its that you don't build them all that bothers me"

[thedarkmaster]

that`s the thing that bothers my wife, if I`ve got them she says thet should be built and painted, thats another of her bugbears, non painted models !!!

[TsrJoe]

not sure how many but def runs into 4 figures...

Me too, more or less.

[pyro-manic]

A grand total of four. Three of which are in progress. Do I win?

I'm starting pretty much from scratch in this area - I'm mostly a sci-fi/wargaming builder, so I do mostly Imperial Guard tanks and the like. Just got a hankering for some aircraft one day, so I bought a couple. I'm terrified of trying to paint in a "realistic" fashion....

And all housed in a tunnel system the viet cong would have been more than proud of LOL
