    Builds to finish and complete

    I just had the wife having a go at me big time ( spring cleaning ) and she says to me Robert " no more models are coming into this house, you have to finish what you have abs get the stash down to one coffer ( I have 3 full )


    So it's the orders and in pretty gutted but ruled are rules


    I'll do whAt I can with the gb builds if I have it In my stash


    Ouch ouch and double ouch


    Women just don't know or understand imho


    Regards

    I don't now, nor have I ever had a stash of more than three kits. At the moment I have one on the go and one in the cupboard. I can't be had with that one. I do get accused of putting ten hour shifts in my little model studio, but that's nonsense. After two or three hours I've had enough


    I buy to build rather than to own the kits, but each to their own.


    Cheers

        I agree with both comments, my problem is I go into a shop and well I can be bad and then I see other builds on here and also on Internet and I say think that's good I'll try that etc etc but heh in my own worst enemy.


        Oh well I'll learn the herd way

          Well Robert, some people build to buy, others like to collect model kits and don't really ever intend to build them. Other just can't resist a bargain and end up with a significant stash without ever intending to have one. It sounds like you might be mainly in the third category


          The thing is that it doesn't matter. Some get as much pleasure from collecting kits as I do from building them and there's nothing wrong with that. Horses for courses, as they say.


          Cheers

            Well, stop following the herd and be ya own man!


            I had loads in a stash and I thinned down, nowhere to store and it got overwhelming, I would look and then couldn't decide so I ended up making naff all.

              I need a stash so that I have a choice of what to do.


              I'm always tempted by bargains.


              I'm lucky that I have and understanding wife(Paula)And I can do what I want with my money as she does with hers.
