I have a cupboard full of kits mainly german armour…so why do I feel the need every other night to go on line and buy some more?

is this normal or am i craving some unknown kit?

happy Christmas

It is perfectly normal Mark. Same here! Each time I see a german armor I don’t have, I want it!

Merry Christmas to you![#toast]

It’s perfectly normal, as I do the same thing frequently myself. Look at it this way, women do it with shoes and purses…

I have no money or shoes…now i know why???

cheers

I too am in the same boat. I think my wife has given up on trying to slow my acquisition of models. This year my wife told me she wasn’t going to get me a model for Christmas. Later she broke down and told me to write down 4 models I wanted (along with some other things) and she would probably get me one of them. Short story long, I ended up getting the Academy 1/32 F-16CG/CJ and Academy’s 1/35 Huey. I think it’s an addiction. Hi, my name is Chris and I’m a plasticholic.

Sweet !

Hehe! I don’t feel fulfilled until I’ve ordered or bought at least 1 modelling item every week! Fortunately I have some willpower and haven’t increased my model stash for almost 2 months, but I’m tempted to every day! Instead I’ve gone crazy on AM stuff!!

Craving some unknown kit? I don’t think I’d stop buying even if I found some undiscovered kit that no one knew about!

If I had the cash, I would buy the entire Squadron warehouse!

its like a drug… [:D]

I can only control myself by being wasteful with my money so I have non left to buy models!

11

i have the same problem and (although it may be a harmless obsession) it is still a sickness

12

I wonder if there are any millionares in this hobby ?

13

there were but they got the sickness now they are no more

14

You think that is bad… I finally did an inventory of what I have in my basement. I have 3 M24 Chaffee tanks, 6 M46 Pattons… you know where I am going with this. I didn’t realize I had so many kits with multiples. This is as bad as you are going to get. At least you guys are purchasing things you may not already own.

15

The guy that owns Squadron is probably a millionare …

16

now M1 that will make clearing out your stash easier ( if you want to clear it out that is) you take all the chaffees and build all at once then 3 m46’s at a time like an assembly line it goes pretty quick that way

17

Wow m 1 ! Sounds like what i do (did )

18

I know…where does it end. Now if I could just build a few.

19

Well just say you were RICH, I can see it now… You walk into your LHS and start picking out kits to buy and the next thing you say is " WHAT ? What do you mean your out of models " Yes sir we are, you bought them all…

LOL

I can dream

Same situation here. I read a new kit or build review and I buy. I read a book or see a movie or TV show with an interesting vehicle, I search for one in plastic and buy it. Or I just end up cruising an online store and see something interesting and buy it. Lately I’ve been buying more AM and figure kits for models I already have. The funny thing about that is I hate installing PE and painting figures, yet I still buy! But the mortgage and other bills are up to date and the wife doesn’t mind so I don’t worry about it.

And oh that reminds me. I have to go now and check out the after Christmas sales at a few online shops. See ya!
