OK guys, step up. I don’t want to know how many boxes of unfinished products you have, lets see who has the biggest collection on this board. Post the number of completed kits, you can break it down to 1:72 and 1:48 bvut they have to be on your shelf on display in your house. Not in attics, boxes or bedrooms. On display so the milkman can see them as he is running from your house (hahahaha)
I will post mine with a qualifier, I am a novice.

Hello guys & girls,
I´m a bit astonished.
nsclcctl: Did I understand that right (or is my old school English kidding me)? You are a novice??? You mean kind of newbie? Having finished 32 models? What am I? A baby? I have finished 3 models in 9 months, including 1 1/32 and 2 1/48, all standing on the shelf (or in the office). The 4th one is ready for completion now. The fifth just started.
Swanny, what is your house like? You must be living in the Buckingham Palace, or Neu Schwanstein perhaps. Can I send my finished ones to you? Just to give them a good home.
Greetings
Gerald

In my “Modeling Workroom”:

I live in a huge old century home with four bedrooms, living room, family room and formal dining room. Both the boys have moved out to college and it’s just me, the wife and my 16 year old daughter now. The dining room and family room have a lot displayed there and the modeling room is becoming fairly full too. My daughter likes the space ships so those are all displayed in her room. It is kind of like a museum, my wife does complain sometimes but she does not have to dust them. Let me tell you about dusting, 3 cans of compressed air and an entire weekend - I don’t do that too often, maybe that’s why she complains. I need to make arraingements with a museum somewhere to take these off my hands when I sell the house and move into something smaller.
I have a little over one hundred 1/48 WW II aircraft (mostly fighters, some bombers) displayed in bookcases, a hutch, and anywhere else they’ll fit. There’s also over one hundred more 1/48 fighters & bombers damaged in my last move (they were displayed before the “moving horror”)
Let’s see airplanes:
Spitfire MK I, P-51D, Wildcat, F4U-1, Ruffe, P-47D, P-51B, A6M5, ME-163 (1/32), Frank, P-51A, F4U-1D, a second Spitfire MK I. Plus Wildwilliamwilly’s F4U-1D.
Cars:
TR3A, VW New Beetle, Jag XKE (1/8), TR2, Jag MkII.
so that’s 14 1/48 airplanes, 1 1/32 airplane, 4 1/24 cars, 1 1/8 car. 20 models, about 25 months of building. Just getting started…
Spend less time on the Forum and more time building kits. Not being picky, just acknowledging my own short comings. Just started back and have completed two of 37 I bought to get back into the hobby. Give most 1/32nds to my grandson (4 yrs) and the rest will go to VA Hospital. I’ll keep pictures and try to keep building in the hopes of getting better results. Now all I have to do is make a workshop and buy an airbrush.[2c]
