Ok how many unbuilt kits do you have stock piled?
My wife keeps wondering why I buy more kits when I have a few unbuilt already…Well I only have a few unbuilt kits…around 25 or so…Ive seen pics of peoples areas with numbers reaching over 100 easily…geesh and my wife thinks Im bad!
I’m not really sure to tell you the truth. I’ve sold off a bunch this year but I guess about 2000 give or take. Recently I found another couple of boxes of vacs I’d forgotten about with about 300 kits in them. I’m not a nut, I used to be a vendor. My personal stash has only about 350 1/72 aircraft kits. That includes the kits I intend to build and the kits I collect. [;)]
Last time I looked it was 350 to 375 - and yes my wife has asked me the same questions your wife is asking you - that’s what wives do - Just be honest with her and as long as you are not keeping food away from the baby or spending this months rent check you shouldn’t have any major problems.
I have about 400 unbuilt, about 30 or so with partially completed subassemblies
About 7 years ago I gave away about 500 to a couple of Boys clubs and a boy scout troop. Since then I have built up to about 50 and I intend to build all of them.[:-^] At least that’s my intention. We’ll see if that happens.[:D][^]
Ok Im printing this to show my wife…think it will help my cause any? ROFL
I’m lucky I guess because my wife doesn’t care how many kits I have. She used to help with sales at hobby shows and at that time I had more like 5000 kits! If anything she wants me to get back into vending at shows! Anyone ever been to the Kingcon in Memphis, Tenn?
I have about 80-90 unbuilt. Trying not to buy anymore until I whittle down the pile I have. Aaarrgghh I really am trying (at least thats what I tell my wife). JOHN
Wow. I only have about 60 or so. Could any of you guys with a couple thousand give me a few so I can increase my stash?!?

I have built my unbuilt stash up here recently by 300%. I now have 3 sitting on the shelf waiting to be built.
I probably have 30-40 including Train related kits.
I’m down to about 30 unbuilt. At least I’ve made some progress on the 50 I had at the beginning of the year…
I’ve got about 100 unbuilt, about 60 are 43rd (all race/rally cars) about 12 x 12th (race cars), 15 x 24th/20th race/rally, 5 x 350 warships, 2 x 72nd warships, 3 x 48 aircraft. I build when I’m in the mood but target about 1 per month plus I try to build the equivalent number of kits I purchase during the year so in effect I’m reducing my stock by at least 12 a year. 30 kits is the most I’ve ever done per year and 3 the least. Oh to be retired !!
I think I am up to about 250 or so and rising.
I am also seriously considering selling some online because at my rate of building I will be gone before I finish half of them.
I wonder if their should be a twelve step program for modelers and model collecters.
I have at this time 10 unbuilt kits. I am working on three others at this time. Have promised myself and she who must be obeyed that until I finish the three Im working on then start and finish the leopold (awaiting for workbench space), my collection would not increase ([swg].
To nicholma. I have been retired for 12 months now on still find it hard to complete kits, in fact the 3 I am working I have been working on for the last 12 months. I seen to have more commitments now than I had when I was working.
I’ve jumped from 3 to 12 in just a few months. I’ve never had that many stockpiled. However, there has been to many good deals to pass up.

well i have 8 kits up in the closet, about half have some assembly done
I have about 160. But my wife thinks that about a third of that belongs to friends who want them built. LOL. I try not to buy more, but Im an absolute failure at this. Everytime I go to the hobby shop I just have to come home with something in hand.
I have 120 unbuilt kits. They are predominately armor kits, but I have a few aircraft and one F1 kit. I didn’t include resin conversion kits or accessory kits. If those are included the total is pushing 140 unbuilt kits.
Only about 25. Including the ones I’m working on. And my wife thought I was crazy untill I showed her another thread on this topic this spring. And between Woody and BlackwolfSCD (over 3,000 if I remember correctly), she eased up alot.
