You're not the only one. I have zero model kits as well. I do have a few boxes of Orcs & Goblins I am slowly working through for my next Warhammer Fantasy army, but that's it.
Every time I hit the hobby store I see a dozen new things I would love to build. But no money..sigh.

Have slowed down a bit, and need to go through the stash and peel off some I know I will never build....but still, the stash is somewhere between 600-700 kits, plus PE and resin addons and conversions.
Not bragging, but I put the Addict in Scale Model Addict.

Of course, that's an addiction in and of itself.
But if we consider to build all of the kits in our stash and I think we do (at least I plan to) we plan to have a very long life ;DModelMakerMike said:Hmmmm.... my wife refers to me as a hoarder. I tend to think of myself more as a collector. I am not buying stuff just to hoard it. I intend on building them. It would just take a really really really long time to build every kit I own. I am not sure how many kits I do have. Maybe on the next contest, I could contribute some prizes ;DIgard said:So would any of you guys describe yourselves as 'hoarders'?

Airmedical said:O.k. guys. Lets all gather arond in a circle and tell each other our names, how many kits we have in our stash, how long we've been and addict and what do we do to recover. I'll start.
Hi every body. Thank you all for attendING. My name is John. I build 1/48th, 1/32 and 1/35th helicopters.
As for how many kits I have. Well...uh....I've lost count. :-[ Well, you see, I returned to model building in 2006. Slowly increasing my inventroy. I recently obtained some actual helicopter display models that the helicopter companies used to sell back in the 70's and 80's. They were Sikorsky, Bell, Hughes and Boing Vertol. I knew the owner that used to beuild these models in my home town for the aircraft companys and he went out of business. A friend of mine bought the building and allo the stuff had to go. Well, I asked the model owner how much for the model kits, and he said $2 each. Well, I have several garbage bags full. As for the actual off the shelf kits. Well, I lost count. I had many kits given to me and obtained some off of ebay at garage sale prices. I couldn't pass it up. It was a deal of a life time. They were calling out to me. They needed a home. and....and...then I found Scale Model Addict. You guys encouraged me to build a shelf for all my paints and supplies. :'( The support was overwhelming. That meant I had to get organised. It made more room on my bench to do more models and increase my efficiency. And then I started to ware an orange hat. And then, and then, I felt the love and the acceptance. 8) I'm not alone after all.
YOU GUYS!! I LOVE YA MAN!!!
