I have a growing collection of unbuilts to the point of despair.
What about you?
In addition to a large collection of unbuilt kits, I have a huge collection of aftermarket stuff to go with those kits. Will I get them built? Hopefully, Yes. Realistically, probably not.
I really doubt that I could ever build all the kits in my stash, at least in this life time. Maybe in the next one [:)].
Regards, Rick
I got a good collection of unbuilt kits and I hope to finish them all someday. But considering the rate that I am going, and the fact that I seem to add two kits for every one that I have started, I don’t know. But I have decided to reduce the number in the stash before buying another…at least that is what I told my wife.
I HOPE I’ll live long enough to build all my boxed kits…I fully intend to, but the date of my passing ain’t up to me.
I DO know that I’m going to give it one heck of a try.
There is one problem…this website. It’s too interesting - so much so that I enjoy spending hours wandering through it - talking to others…which takes time away from my building. Bummer.
Shame on you, FSM.
Hopefully! My stash is slowly starting to grow, MUST STOP![xx(][:P]
well, i don’t really have that many kits - i only got like ~5 kits unbuilt. but considering that i build a max of 3 models a year, i’m not gonna add any more to the collection(at least i’ll try[;)]), and hopefully finish the collection before i add more.
i will definatly finish. since i told my self 2 months NO MORE KITS, i have not bought one. im sure as soon as the hobby lobby sale comes around, ill come home with a handful!
I have 20 in the stash and I figure if I can get a kit at an excepitional price I will buy it. My current inventory should last at least 5 plus years. I hope to model till I croak, so right now, the stash isn’t a problem.
i have 3 untouched kits, and 3 in-progress kits under my desk. assuming i keep up the willpower at the LHS, i will finish it all before haloween. but, knowing my willpower, and knowing that every now and then there comes along a really good deal, there will perpetually be boxes underneath my desk.
I finish a model about once a month and I add from 5 to 10 a month. At the moment I have over 400 kits sitting waiting for their turn to be hacked to death. If I live to about 750 yo I might get them all finished.
Well, I’m hopeful!
But not at my current pace of only one or two kits built a year…
i am hopeful that i can build all in my current stash. now that doesnt mean that i wont purchase more. but the current stash i hope will be done.

I plan to finish all the kits in my stock (only about 7), as I have only bought kits so far that I am very interested in building. I have begun to figure in all the costs for paint and tools now when I see kits I have the urge to purchase, and that has slowed me down!
For all of you who have been saying that you will never finish all of your kits, I will be more than happy to take a few off your hands!![:D][;)]
You’rec not a real modeler until you have some stock… LOL
I started collecting kits in case I would get bored after an early retirement,
things changed, no early retirement, so I hope to live until 100 [:)]
Only 15 unbuilts in my stock. I still enforce a model-buying freeze. I really want to get the Polar Lights 1701 and Klingon Battlecruiser, so will have to build some before I buy those.

If I stay healthy, keep building and live another 70-80 years I should be able to knock them out and I don’t even have that big of a stash.
Since the time of starting this post I bought another 4 kits…THIS GOTTA STOP…
Hobby Lobby half price coming soon…mmmmmmmmmm…beer… i mean kiiiiits…
I will be found dead under my pile because it got so big it fell over on me.
