gee, i feel like the kid you never got anything!!!
i have 5 started, one big project, and 5 kits not started at all!!!
I think some of you guys need to give to the poor!!!
did i mention i’m poor!!!
LOL
I think I have the low score here. I have 1 kit sitting on the shelf , 1 being built and 1 being prepped to start on monday. And my wife complains that I buy to many kits, please let her read this thread.
Maybe 2 dozen, all started. DJ Would you consider selling some of your extras ?
I have 14 kits at various stages of completion, and one waiting to go on Monday. Sheesh, and my parents complain about the number of kits I have.
About a month ago I had nearly 360 unbuilt kits, 236 of which I recently bought from another collector. I have sold about 180 of them on ebay (I love ebay), maybe some of you guys were my buyers! I suppose when my “selling project” is done I will have 140 or so kits left for my personal collection.
Over the course of time my interests change and I decide to “trade” some kits for other kits. Ebay has really helped me learn about kits of all types, sell the ones I no longer want, and obtain my new interests. My buying goes in spurts; I’ll buy a couple of kits per week for a while and then nothing for a few months.
Crownover, certainly exchanging, either for kits, mags, books or else… I’ll post a list of the few ‘unwanted’ tonight. Watch this space!
Lizardquing2 you saved my honour by having a score lower than mine.
Though not by much.
5 kits.
1 complete
3 in the painting stage.
1 in the early stages of construction
I’m obviously not trying hard enough!
Does a model railway layout count as one kit, or whole lot?
If so my score just sky rocketed.

I am afraid to go and do an inventory. The last time I did one I found my neighbor that had been missing for two years. There he was, clutching a Battleaxe 1/48 scale F-84G in his hands. At least he died happy.[;)][:P][(-D]
That’s what you get for refusing to sell him the kit. [:p][}:)]
Boy some of you are rich (with models and kits, that is.)
I don’t have that much.
Completed: about 30+ (can’t remember because I gave some to friends)
In the Box (not yet started):2
On-going(at least I think so): 1
Hey Chris has just such a site to post your disposals and wants! Check it out here… http://groups.msn.com/ModelTradersHaven/_whatsnew.msnw
The link in my sig will take you to Scalehobby and you can sell there as well!
I can’t win for losing. When I can afford to buy the kits I don’t have much time to build them… And vice-versa.
I’ve got somewhere around 90 kits. They are all in 2 cupboards and easily accessible. I don’t have the problem of “forgetting” I had any specific one, but I do forget the quality of some and wonder why they were bought when they were. Will I ever finish them all? Of course, I’m optimistic I’ll win the national lottery this week and can retire and spend all and every day building!
I have no kits unbuilt. i have 1 kit, build it, then buy a new one. my parents are uber strict. oh well. I live in singapore, my postal adress is 50 monsk hill road, #07-50 singapore 228576 you know what to do with unwanted kits, right ?
Until recently, I didn’t have much inventory. Now I’m up to 14 kits with one on the way and 4 in various build. With the Panther build starting Monday, I will start another and let the others languish longer. I totally intend to build what I have, but who knows when they will get built. My guess is my collection will gradually continue to grow as do the unfinished. [V]

Last year, I decided to get rid of 380+ kits after realizing that at 45, I wouldn’t have the time in my life to finish them. I have less than 50 now, thanks to eBay.
Why do some of you dislike eBay so much? I feel that if I post an old model, someone that really wants it now get it to build. Better on someone’s bench than collecting dust in my garage.
