OK we have seen your man cave/workshop, we have seen your model stash. I was sorting through my stash today and thought "How about showing off your parts stash". I'm sure if you have been modeling for awhile you have one. If your new to the hobby maybe this will give you some ideas of what you will be looking at in a few years.
I have been modeling for 30+ years and have a collection of parts that I am pretty proud of. Doesn't help that I don't like to throw much out.
The clear spot on the floor is where I have been sitting for the last couple hours sorting parts. I used to do this once a year and haven't done it in about 4.
I am bad for buying kits just for parts. Here is my collection of sprues with parts still attached. Have Some old Johan sprues in there even.
I mostly build automotive models so I have a collection of motor parts all separated. Makes finding a part I need if I am modifying a kit motor or scratch building something.
6 gallon tote half full of interiors and car bodies and I'm not done sorting. Plus I have 5 or 6 zip lock bags full of models that I have built and they have fallen apart from being packed and moved so many times I sorted and found most the parts to put them back together just haven't got to them yet.
Just some of my tires. Used to only buy the 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 kits ... Just for the extra parts
Engines and seats/interior pieces
Odd ball parts and misc smalls ... the box on the right is what I'm still sorting :-\
So that's my stash of parts, lets see yours!
