For me it’s probably about a modest 150 [:D]

Believe it or not, it’s not that many. If you exclude miniatures, only about 50 or so. If miniatures and wargaming stuff is included, it is well over 1000 (just those requiring assembly). Depends on who you ask as to what counts or not.

Ok, to clarify: model kits (plastic, wood, whatever) and scratchbuilt models count. Miniatures do not.
DJ
Over 200
FINAL CLARIFICATION:
Just realized that there can be quite a lot of building in a miniature, so anything that is a “build” counts. Any model kit, scratchbuilt model, figure kit with assembly or significant figure modification counts as a build. A diorama may be comprised of multiple builds and therefore each sub-assembly counts as one.
Yes I’ve been partying[:D]

Around 600-650 including those I’ve built for others. If you include Starfleet Battles minatures you can bump that up to just under 1000. They all required assembly but were very simple to build.
466 since I’ve been keeping records, that is since 1979, but there must have been around 150 to 200 more before that…

I’d have to guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 kits. Started in the early 60s, stopped in the early 70s, & came back in the early 90s.
Compared to you guys, so few I can name 'em! [:p]
as a kid…
- Fairey Delta II 1/72 back in around 1982
- incomplete Airfix BAC111 from around the same time
false start…
3. Airfix 88 Flak and SdKfz 7 in 1995
4. Italeri 1/35 PzIV H in 1995
now we’re rolling… (within the last couple of years)
5. Airfix 1/72 FW190 D9
6. Revell 1/72 Eurofighter prototype
7. Revell 1/72 Bf110C
8. Fujimi 1/24 Renault Megane Coupe (workbench queen)
9. Revell 1/72 Hurricane IIb
10. Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hunter FGA9
11. Italeri/Zvezda 1/35 T-34 M1943
12. Hasegawa 1/72 F104-G (work in progress)
In my 36 years I would have to guess at 250. It would be alot more if I add each 1/35 scale figures.
Do they count?
This is going to be a hard one to think of. My first kit was at seven years old & I’m now in my 30’s. Cars, planes, a few figures, lots of sci-fi… at least over 100, though I can’t think of the specific number.
Somewhere around 300-350 kits. Built a lot of cars in the late 50’s and early 60’s. One a week.
In the last fourty years more the 100 but probably under two hundred.
The first 5 years at least 100.
I took 25 years off to raise a familly.
RAF, 1/35 figures with assembly count.[:)]
About 250 since I started in 79, took a few years off to play with the bigger toys in the Army but that’s my best guess. In high school I had over 60 planes just hanging from my ceailing. Alot more on shelves though. All were pretty much destroyed by mom trying to store them for me when I shipped off to basic. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to rebuild them all.
Wow! Some of you guys out there have been busy! Right now I’m working on kit No.41.
I still have about 50 waiting to be started! I look forward to 2028 when I can retire and get stuck into them.
Probably the 100 and up group. Unfortunately the vast majority are in the landfill. Currently I have 12 on display, of which a paltry 5 are worthy of this site(being nice to myself!). Maybe someday, if I can figure it out, I will post something of interest and pride. [:)]

About 1 or 2 hundred when I was younger. Now I’m like U-69, I can name them all:
1:12 Chris craft cruiser
1:72 mahoghany tunnel hull racer
1:12 sailing dory
1:72 Bluenose
Working on in 1:48:
HMCS Chicoutimi (Flower class)
Foundation Franklin (ex Dainty class salvage tug)
Bluenose II
Halifax B-VII
1:18 Duesenberg
Researching:
HMS Admiral Gardiner
RCMP St. Roch
Just started late last year.
I have about less than thirty built. I gave away some so I can’t really be sure.
Probably about 100
Then again, those were when I was little and didn’t paint them, and they were generally real cheap little kits.
I’ve built two since my return to the hobby a few months ago because I’ve been busy with work and college stuff.
