Yeah, RIGHT!!! Hahahahahaha!! I think we’ve ALL said that to ourselves at least once in our model-building lives!! [proplr]
Lol! Hell, I’ve even said it before Dawg! Who am I kiddin’?[;)]
Scratch that! Hasegawa is coming out with a ‘new’ 1/32 FW190D-9 next month. I have room for one more, right? Right?? [:O]
I hope it’s better than the last one they offered of that kit. I finally finished it last year, and had a lot of fit problems at the wing root where it joined the nose at the bottom of the plane. Also, the decals just broke completely apart when I tried to apply them. First time I ever had an issue with a Hasegawa kit.
I’ve built one 1/32 dora and seem to remember that fit issue. I’ve never had an issue with their decals though. Interesting.
My wife says I have too much. Funny thing is I only have less than 15 kits in my stash. Go figure…
Only 15 kits? I have about 70, and the desire to buy more!!! Not the money, mind you, just the desire…
15 kits in my wife perspective is too much. In mine - not enough. LOL!!!
I went to Shreveport with 107 kits, came back home 7months later with 124, sill had 50 that never left Deer Park, i know what i have and where it’s at… 1 of everything and it’s EVERYWHERE LOL. I call myself a collector but truely i’m a hoarder, too much therapy to correct the issue so i deal with it, i ask my wife before ANY model related purchases, she usually puts things in perspective when i get awe struck by the cool box art or unusual kit. She never says no but "why don’t you wait and see if you find it cheaper at a contest vender, golly i love her.
Collecting is one thing a lot of people do with a great many items.
Hording however is something different. If you have stockpiled up a amount of an item that are deemed necessary to many but will have to be rationed because of a great need somewhere else to the extent that you have now acquired much more than others, like the government, feels ir right, then you might be considered a hoarder.
This was not an unknown situation during WWII when people would cut back a bit on what they were allowed, like fuel or food, that was needed to go to the war effort. If you were caught doing this the punishment I believe could be a bit harsh.
People were issued ration cards and you were not allowed ot exceed the limit of coupons you were given. You had to be able to account for your ration book and report if something happened to it.
During the war in S.E.A. we were given ration cards each month. As you used things on the cards they would punch that item. When the card was finished, so were you. Getting things for other people, especially foreign nationals, was black marketing and you would be picked up for it. At best you could be fined, have a record of this placed into your personnel files, and loose your card privileges for whatever time period your commander, or the base or wing commander decided. If it was serious enough, you could be reduced in rank, confined, discharged, or maybe even sent to Fort Levenworth. If the offense was big enough.
