Hum… $50 per kit avg. 1000 kits equals Pickup truck. 2000 kits could get you a Z06 Corvette.
Somewhere in between could get you a divorce.
Are you telling me I have sacrificed two Z06 Corvettes?
Sheesh …
Define "too many on the other hand I suppose it could be argued there is a fine line between hobby and obsession
The stash of stashes
Thanks Tony. Yeah, it’s quite a collection. There’s a second row, too.
I believe you’re wife probably intended to communicate you have too many OLD model kits and should buy some new model kits to keep up with the current trends & fashion.
That’s how I would understand it
The shelf looks correctly stocked to me.
I do believe strictly for aesthetic reasons a stash should be level at the top. I suggest purchasing a minimum of a dozen new kits to “fill in” the top. (J/k)
Plastic models are a low cost hobby realitive to the car hobby. Current engine build ate two years of hobby spending last week for breakfast. The hungry beastie will want lunch & dinner soon.
Nice stash!
Cheers
He who dies with the largest stash wins! Go for it!
That is such an awesome picture. Every time you post it, I want to do the same thing but it must wait until I move out of earthquake country.
I still have my stash in Ecuador, so far so good…

I know a good attorney, just sayin…
yup…
Your wife is right, only way out of this is to give me half your kits
Nope. Nothing wrong here.
IMHO you have to have a stash, what if you get inspired and you haven’t got the right kit? Now that would be a real problem.
Tell her you’ll toss one box of sprues for each box of shoes she tosses…
Maybe that’s the way to understand it… “Looking at your stash I feel I don’t have enough shoes/handbags/jewellery” - maybe that’s what she wanted to say, and remember, there are no “right” and “wrong” feelings. Talk to her! Communicate! And then hopefully you won’t have to get a divorce, it’s such a shame when it happens.
Have a nice day!

Just tell her you have a lot of kits stored up because you are making sure all the shelves in the house are straight and level.
Just showed that to the wife.
Quote: “I wouldn’t even mind that because it’s neat. Not that many, but I would allow it — some of it.”
My wife is always on my case about taking care of myself. She says she wants to maximize the number of years we have together. I tell her I cannot die with unfinished kits, so in fact, I am making sure I am here as long as I can be, with her…
Damon.
Well at least you don’t have enough time or money for going to the jiggly room bars or other things
