How many kits have you purchased but not started yet

Hello all

I was wondering how many kits have you purchased but not started yet.

Dave

Post by **Paul** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 2:25 pm

LOL about 195

Post by **GangsterNo1** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 2:35 pm

Cheers Paul, now the rest of us can be embarrassed about the stash size

15 for me.

Post by **Davethepitch** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 2:38 pm

Paul are you being serious about 195 kits.

Post by **rodrant** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 2:41 pm

About 50 or 60 I guess ...I still have a lot of tamiya 1/24 in boxes ...but holly mother of kits Paul ...195

Post by **Lee** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 3:08 pm

About 140 odd.....lol

Post by **Icemannique** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 3:34 pm

About 20 models ... and counting...

No wonder he keeps going all Del Boy and selling them off!

I'm seriously lacking in that department! 17 is my current stash, and that'll drop more when the phantom sig starts

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 3:44 pm

Oh dear, Scalemates tells me I have 106 in the stash and I know there are a few more I haven't told it about.
So my guess is at 125.
In Paul and Lee's defence, they are doing this as a serious business and are makers, not collectors.
I am just a slow maker, so started and not finished I am at 8 projects incomplete. I count finished, but not diorama complete into that.

Not sure I can count that high, or want to.

Scale mates says about 140, but I think 10-15 are started. But I haven't added all the kits hidden in the attic.

I have seen pics of your stash, Jon...it is full of superb awesomeness

Only 3 kits for me, Meng T-90A, Miniart T-44 and a Revell USS Lionfish Submarine.

I could spend more money on kits but I need a new spray booth so going to get the £300 one from emodels tomorrow

It's in my sig. Needs updating, though. I feel like it might be a tad higher now >.<

I have a grand total of 1.

I know what you mean luckily the Tamiya Hayabusa GSX1300R i was going to have is out of stock and i missed one on an auction site the other week by £1 so if i can get on for about £20 i will be happy but i dont mind waiting.

550 odd unstarted kits in the stash. You can see them via my scalemates link. In my defence I am an idiot.

None of them are in the garage or loft either, too precious.

Did you get what you hoped for the DAK Tiger Paul? I bid but I kept thinking how many other kits I could get instead.

I almost passed out when I read how many kits you have got.

Not far off mate, happy enough and the new owner is very happy so alls good

Post by **Paul** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:37 pm

My stash can be found here, as said i had over 250 kits at one point, sold a lot of armour and excess aircraft then added a load of cars and bikes instead lol.

https://www.scalemates.com/profiles/mat ... 30&p=stash

And i did a bit of a stash tour here, but prob don't even show half of it

Post by **EvilCarrot** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:52 pm

Too many, lol, stash is currently at 340, give or take a few. Not all of those are unstarted but most of them are.

Post by **Willem** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 9:27 pm

Can of worms...................

Opened.

I'll weigh in with about 60. Given my speed of building, and my inability to resist new, shiny aircraft kits, I'm going to have to make some serious lifestyle changes to be around long enough to finish them.

Post by **chalkyw** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 10:13 pm

WOW

, some of you guys ain't going to be around long enough to build all that's in your stash, lol

.......I've got 10 AFV kits which is going to take a while as I always build a dio as well

Post by **sheppsea** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 10:15 pm

I have one, and another two on the way, to be honest I am intending to buy as I build except maybe a few that I want to aspire to and will build when I feel skilled enough

Post by **demarcation** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 11:44 pm

I'm not sure but about 30 would be a good guess....

Yes yes yes we all start off like that and you see what happens

Post by **digger303** » Mon Sep 12, 2016 12:59 am

Scalemates says I have 219 full kits with 9 started built , but not painted and 2 actually finished. I will get there one day. I'm A BUGGER not finishing..really have to push myself. I am a really slow builder, my credit card is faster than me !!
88 detail and conversion sets
2 figures...sure I have 7 or 8 of them ?
7 decals sets

It's all good......

Post by **CJSomerset** » Mon Sep 12, 2016 7:47 pm

1. But I didn't buy it, I won it on an ISM prize draw

I'm quite happy to keep all the kits I want in a shop until I want to build them.

Post by **jelliott** » Mon Sep 12, 2016 8:12 pm

I'm somewhere around 30...and counting, much to the displeasure of the Mrs. I guess its better than spending the evenings at the pub down the street.

Post by **RustyWarrior** » Mon Sep 12, 2016 8:14 pm

just counted and the grand total of.... drum roll...... 5!!

I'm a noob

At my last count it was around 95 kits unstarted in my stash. I have made a start on a couple of those since then but also added a few. That's really bad as I only bought my first kit 9 months ago, which I still have not actually started.

I think your stash building abilities should be applauded....

In fairness, I already have three extra kits on the way!

I realised this Thurs is the 100 year anniversary of the first tanks being used in battle so wanted to commemorate that by building the Mk1 Male and Female, and have also decided to try to have two on the go at once

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Tue Sep 13, 2016 4:20 pm

Adding the PE and extra resin detail stuff for kits you already have doesn't count, right??!! It isn't a NEW kit, it is the SAME kit
That is what I seem to be doing these days. Then I forget what kits and PE I already have...Scalemates check important before anything purchased

I added eight tiny pieces of PE for my Sci-fi build...eight. And now I can't stop looking at how much I can add to the next one...well, not the next one, I <3 Tamiya is OOB, but the one AFTER that. And the next. And the next...

Again, I break this out to illustrate my plight.

Some of you folk must have loads of room at your home's to store your kits.

Post by **Stokesy44** » Tue Sep 13, 2016 8:31 pm

I've got 14. Don't know if I'm lagging behind or flying the flag.

They're all beautiful kits, the oldest is a Trumpy 1/24 Hurricane IIC, the rest are all new tools from the last 5 years.

Didn't have a stash as a kid or young man so this is a novelty for me. Perhaps its a mid-life crisis stash!

Still, its better than buying a motorbike and damaging myself trying to get my youth back.

yes the missus gives me some grief, so I have resorted to hiding them under cupboards, on top of wardrobes and such out of her eye line so to speak. This strategy has been successful. You would be surprized how many can be hidden away like this...
