… I want to own every plastic airplane, armor & ship model ever made. The only problem is that I can’t afford it, nor do I have the room for it. LOL
Am I the only one who suffers from this condition?
PS: thanks to all of you forum people who I have learned so much from over time.
Blueline, you are not alone! I am the same way. I check on eBay at least twice a day for deals, I go to Craigslist looking for people selling kits, I network with all my friends for any news of estate sales (or people they know who like to trade). Yeah, it is a serious problem…but ain’t it fun! [6]
We should start a Plastics Anonymous! [:$]

The problem is when you want them all, plus multiples of certain kits…
2-C-47’s 3-P-61’s
2-Ju-52’s 3-F-15’s
2-B-47’s 5-F-4’s
2-B-17’s 3-F-16’s
2-B-24’s 2-X-1’s
3-F-105’s 2-V-1’s
3-F-111’s
Nope, no problem with multiples here! [;)]

I have a problem buying models I don’t have room for. Like the larger 1/48 bombers B-29, B-17, B-24 etc. And I just bought a 1/32 JU-88[whstl]
My only problems are time and space… and funding… 
Roger that! My “wishlist” is bigger than both my wallet AND display case!

exactly…
Oh yeah, on my Sherman list I forgot to add a M4A3E2 76mm…
The fool, the meddling idiot! As though his ape’s brain could contain the secrets of plastic! BWAAHHH-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAHHHH!
I have no idea what the problem is that is being mentioned in this thread.
For me, I see a model, I buy, I take it home,noooooo problem.
I have repeated that procedure hundreds and hundreds of times,still don’t have a problem with it, I will probably do it again at the next five shows we go to.

(the above post was done completely tongue in cheek, no plastic kits were harmed in the typing of it)
You have to admit, though, the next time you’re standin’ there, lookin’ for something to build, that you now understand how your wife feels when she says, “There’s nothing to wear.” Right?
“…The ‘Riddle of plastic’… Yes you know it boy…” “Do you want the answer? It’s the least I can do for you…”
Every time I go into a hobby shop or browse eBay or thumb through pages of my Squadron mail order catalog, I see dozens, maybe even hundreds of kits that do not interest me in the least bit and I wouldn’t want even if I won the lottery.
Of course there are certain kits I do want and buy, some I’d like but know I’d never build, etc.
I hear ya, I have the same kits (multiples of course) and I sit and look at them and wonder…where am I going to put them?! BUT…I HAVE THEM!!! [6]
LOL! Well said! [Y]
Shhhhhhhhh!! We can never let them know that! Unless it helps get the 5 1/48 B-17 you just HAVE to have! [whstl]
That’s good! I like the reference!
I know the feeling. I’ll be checking out kits on eBay and come across one that I did as a kid and the memories slap me across the face. I’ll want to get it just cuz! Then I see the price and that feeling usually subsides! [;)]
