Paul, you said to much in the hangout.

I don't live in Germany, otherwise that 6610 was probably mine.

This is my modest WnW stash so far!

Post by **Tarasdad** » Fri Sep 12, 2014 10:36 pm

I'd love to have a WW stash.

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Mon Sep 15, 2014 6:54 pm

I was hoping that WnW had some early flight stuff...Wright Bros or Santos Dumas really early planes
Got a lilttle hooked making steel rigging for a Revell Wright Flier and want more
Have to stop buying and get my space organized for winter, will do a stash shot when I get it all done

Not much in there but it'll do for a few months

Hi Rob. Bit of a Skyhawk fan then?

Nice stash mate. Would keep me going for years.

LOL! Yep, Skyhawks, Eagles, Hornets, and Tomcats, nothing better in my humble opinion.

Thanks!

Wow, now I know who to talk to when I get going on a Tomcat. Great stash and well organized.

Yeah, same here. I always try to get in between her and the stash when she comes down to the cave to talk to avoid her looking directly at it. She seems to have eidetic memory and I can't let her know exactly what I have in there.

WOW. What a stash!

That's the Academy 1/32 Hornet. One of the best kits out there!

I hope some of you are sitting down.

I'm almost embarrassed to post these, but I've been collecting kits since I was young and this is easily 30+ years of modelling hopes and dreams. Sorry for the poor quality of the last two pictures, they were taken with my i-phone. So without further ado, here's the stash. Enjoy!

Holy F**k! That's alot of options you have there! In many ways, im envious but the other day I was kind of depressed of having too many kits...now, im feeling much better! Thank you, sir, thank you!

Awesome stash!!! i showed my wife those picks as she thinks my 50 kit stash is crazy.. now my wife doesnt think my stash is so crazy anymore.. lmao.. My favorite think about your stash is that you have a little bit of everything.. much better than me as i have 100% aircraft

Post by **WebbyNZ** » Sun Sep 21, 2014 10:35 pm

Nobody should be embarrassed by a stash that impressive.
We all love to see what other builders have, no matter how big, or how small.
It's actually helped my purchasing decisions knowing what others have been willing to part with their hard earned cash for.

Have been eyeballing this thread for a long time without wanting to add my own photos til I got all my deliveries. Now they are there and I want to share them with you guys! At first glance, the stash looks very modest. I sit in a closet while modelling so I dont have much space. Ive had to photograph all the kits in steps since I couldnt get a good shot of them in the closet!

As you probably are aware, you have to carefully organize the stash so it looks smaller than it really is. The missus can never know how many kits you really have in there!

The plans for some of the kits:
SR-71 = 2015 Double engine SiG or Eye Spy rec SiG
Sea Vixen FAW2 = 2015 In the Navy SiG

The plans for some of the kits:
F-16 = Desert rats GB
Zero = Rising sun GB

The plans for some of the kits:
EE Lightning = 2015 Double engine SiG
Scud Launcher = 2014 6 wheels or more GB / 2015 Crazy Ivan GB

Plans for some of the kits:
J35 Draken = 2015 Homeland GB

Plans for some of the kits:
35 Draken = 2015 Homeland GB
JAS39 Gripen = 2015 Homeland GB
J29 Tunnan = 2015 Homeland GB
Merlin = 2015 Navy SiG
Hind = 2015 Crazy Ivan GB

Every stash has an oddball, here is mine!

1/8 Vinyl Predator figure

As I said, its alot more than it looks like on the shelf! Hope you enjoyed this viewing.

Thanks for the tip LudvigN.

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 4:14 pm

Great stash Ludvig!
You need more autos!!!! The Ferrari jumps right out at me
Somehow this Ferrari came along with the Huey kit for the GB

I just broke my own purchasing moratorium and bought a Ferrari Dino last night in a moment of weakness
Will post when all the others get here too, just don't tell my wife

I'm not really a fan of super cars, but that is one nice Ferrari. I think I might have found my oddball (-ish)...

Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, doing some organizing. Most of the kits are here save some Tamiya motorcycles for my son.

I also have one of these tucked under my bed: 1/12 Acura NSX Rosso Kit....it is worth a bit of cash apparently

Only three more kits and some custom parts on route. I HAVE TO STOP BUYING NOW!!!!!
Time to build

Mwaaaahhh... There's a 1977 Monte Carlo Lancia Stratos in there. I haven't got that particular version of the Stratos yet. Me very jealous.

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Sun Oct 12, 2014 4:56 pm

Hey, that one was your fault for your Lancia build thread

I still have a Stratos Turbo on my wish list, but really need to get building some stuff
Many of these kits are ones I built as a kid and am re-visiting as an adult
There is so much more out there now to buy, all at your finger tips with a few clicks of a mouse

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 5:30 pm

Darn, bought 5 more kits on E bay, think I need counselling

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 5:55 pm

Had me chuckling at that
My excuse:
I get little breaks in between patients at work and get bored so start looking at E Bay and.....whammo I got more stuff
If I could get some guilt free time to work on building some darn models, life would be perfect
Scott

BUT, I got a cool Porsche 944, a rally Subaru STI, F4 phantom and accessory ground crew , a Huey Cobra and F1 pit crew..plus some Tamiya tools

Sounds exactly like me Scott - I've accidentally bought nearly 20 models in the last month since i started doing a second gig (over for now)

and also yes on some "guiltfree" time!

Mate if your username is like my life - a 1 year old and 3 year old - yes, no sleep - just working all day and then after dinner and kids finally asleep, the guilty look I give my wife when i say - I WANT TO MODEL TONIGHT DEAR!

she just wants to sleep, so its all good...

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 10:28 pm

We are Kindred spirits; mine are a 11 and 13 and it changes with them getting older, not with time involved though. We give them much more time and attention than I ever got as a kid and it is super rewarding in the end, but you sacrifice.
They won't need me in a couple years as much and I will get more time for modelling and other hobbies, I hope

You don't need counselling... You need a higher limit on your credit card.

Spend some time during the weekend organizing part of my stash a bit better. I did get some more space, problem is it will most likely be filled with new kits pretty soon.

Top shelf of one of closet.

More stuff on the same shelf

Bottom of the same closet, the stasis pod is build and has some other stuff in the box now.

Cupboard above the fridge

This is what I have in the apartment, it looks like this in the attics.

One of the green marked bags has unbuilt kits, one has built kits, the white box behind the bags looks like this

There are four more layers of kits in the box. Under it is another box.

Then there is one or to more boxes that I can't get to plus two boxes of left over parts. There is also some bigger models like the Millennium Falcon and a 1/8 scale Bentley lying somewhere among all the other crap in there.

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 7:38 pm

Superb collection

We have similar taste in autos....muscle cars, classics, racing, F1 and then airplanes
Loving your 1/20 f1 stash and I see a couple MFH kits in there too!
Thanks for showing

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 5:53 pm

annd I had to buy a Mercedes 300SL gullwing on E BAY
At least it is Canadian shipper
I will let the kids give it to me for my birthday

Post by **LudvigN** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 11:07 pm

I see that you have Tamiyas 1/20 McLaren MP4/4 in your stash, love that kit!! Just make sure you got some aftermarket decals. Dont understand why they are so afraid of tobacco-commercials now, 25 years later

Post by **cib2265** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 12:54 pm

A bit of an update after I, ahem, went nuts recently!

My 1/32 stash - I'm also waiting on the 1/32 Tamiya Spit VIII, Corsair and Mustang to arrive, no idea how they fill it there, so I might have to start building some of these!

My modern 1/48 stuff:

My WW2 single engine 1/48s: (the Panzer 38 (t) is actually two bagged Tamiya kits):

And these hidden away:

My armor stash - theres actually a 1/16 HB Tiger at the back of those - this is inside a TV entertainment unit:

My twin enginer 1/48 WW2 jobbies: I blame Paul for the HB 262s...(Ive ordered some replacement decals to be safe too)

And my Panther stash (and some interlopers):

Theres actually another night fighter Panther in the back plus the bagged kit is a Beheflswagen.

I also have some smaller kits around the traps, egg planes, figures etc - all up I've now cracked 100 kits again, with 9 or so in progress.

What have I done!

Post by **Paul** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 2:17 pm

Nice and yayyy to the 262's , need to get a few more myself
