SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

Guilty as charged.

After posting I realized that what I posted is the stash I've purchased since last year that I do intend to complete. I might looks for a better F-8 kit and stow the classic one.

There's another pile near the same number of old ones purchased in the last century, literally, many of which I might never finish. Things like the cutaway Enterprise, NCC not USN, or the lunar landing.

But this situation seems to be most common...

So I came home with a few kits and when questioned by my better half I replied...

On my way home I accidentally parked outside the hobby shop, then accidentally went in to have a look at the models. At which point I accidentally knocked 3 into my basket which I had accidentally picked up as I entered the shop. I felt so bad for messing up their display that I felt obliged to purchase them.

This explanation was met with a ummmm.... not unlike marge on the Simpson.

I think she bought it and I made a hasty retreat to the mancave. Pantherman

If I choose to hit the "Checkout" button on a number of shopping carts I have throughout the various vendor sites and Amazon, my stash would increase suddenly by the power of ten. I have a current fetish to collect 1/72 planes and 1/700 ship kits. Is this healthy?

Depends on how long you expect to live, or how long your eyesight and steady-hands last.

Some people in the club have 500+ kits and take 2+ months to finish one.

We had a discussion about this last year at our IPMS monthly meeting. We agreed on the following to determine if a collection of unbuilt model kits is a stash, or if you are a hoarder: if you can't build all of your kits before you die, you are a hoarder. Otherwise, you just have a stash of kits.
Since I have quite a stash of kits in the crawlspace, and I'm not a hoarder, it seems that I will live to be about 145 years old!
