Show us your stash

General Discussion FSM Ready Room

No, not your mustache! Your stash – you know, the stockpile of models filling the attic over the garage.

Some Forum members have suggested that there be an easily accessible space for the “stash” photos and discussions to accumulate. So, here it is! If you come across a thread showing off someone’s stash, let us know, and we’ll consider merging it here.

Thanks,

Tim

I recently sorted my stash, packing it so now I know which box has which kits. And as I did so, I thought I would take some pics of the whole lot. So I might as well kick this off.

Theres quite a few pics as I could only get a small number in for each pic.

I think I may have a 251 fetish.

And this is my collection of 1/35th figures. I don’t count them in the stash, but while I was there, I thought what the hell.

Stash stored in larger boxes for neater, dust free storage.

I could post photos of the kits in their storage boxes…[whstl]

4

Bish, what is your final number?

5

Not including the figures, there 214 in the pic’s, plus 6 I got after. So currently 220.

Here is the start of mine,all 1/72

decals, weapons, trucks and tractors, invaded by the booklets that I never seem to file back in the correct bookcases

more weapons, resin storage boxes and beginning of F-4 Phantoms

F-4 Phantoms,one stack is missing between the Phantoms and Scooters

A-4 Skyhawks and scrap view of missing Phantom stack on the right,start of Intruder stacks on the left,one of each molding of Skyhawk is missing from this,they are in the process of being compared by photos, over on the workbench

skipping over the Intruders and Crusaders, this is the misc Navair area

more misc. and the start of the A-7 Corsair II stacks,the Tomcat and Hornet stacks are over on the left of these,I didn’t snap a photo of those

and the case that drives Anne batty,it faces her left side when she sits in her computer chair,and the colors distract her, lol

and that is where I stopped,I figured by now that people would be bored by looking at models of nothing but Navair stuff,there is a couple of shelves of “old tooling, bad boxes, not going to build, use for parts only” types of kits over in another room, but, I spend most of my model time in this corner of the living room,or in the corner of the dining room at the workbench

There are some under the table in the foreground and I have added about 20 since the pic.

Great idea Tim! Hey, could you post pics of the work place? See where you sit, the infamous workbench, etc.? Just a thought.

Eagle, that is how I want to do mine “when I grow up”

We don’t have currently have a separate room for my hobby,but, something like your set up with everything in easy reach would be cool,and then I could go back to using some of the bad smelling things again

Wow, I’m impressed! Bish has a few non-German subjects and Rex a few non-Navy!!! [:P]

And so nice and neat guys, let me apologize beforehand for my mess here:

And there are a few more scattered around, even messier than this… [:S]

Here is part of mine:

All totaled I have about 150 kits. Mostly Sci Fi but some real space and aircraft too.

11

Just in case anyone panics and thinks I am losing it, the Su-85 is going to be in German markings. The none German aircraft are mostly for certain projects, such as Norfolk airfields and MiG’s. The modern US ones are just because I like those aircraft.

Thanks Tarnship. When we moved in to this house, the wife said I could have two of the basement rooms, one for hobby, one for my music room, she gets the rest of the house…works for me!

nice collection Borg

I like that you arranged your’s so we could see the boxtops

I am also glad to see that someone other than I likes the Rareplanes and other Vac models

The box tops is the best part of the stash! I often just take out some boxes to look at them.

And yes, I like vacforms, I have build a few. They look intimidating but be turned into nice models. And since I like odd ball aircraft I have a lot of vacforms and short run kits.

Great stash Borg! You have an awesome range of subjects. You had more “out of the ordinary” kits than ordinary. It was very interesting to check out! Thanks!
