I used to be a bit like that, but the stash out grew the house! So stash control became a priority, hence my modelling philosophy
Yep, the both look smell and taste great, also overly expensive! Ha!
I really don't like binning kits, not just economically but it's like admitting defeat! The only kit that comes to mind that got the better of me was a German night fighter, I can't remember the kit of aircraft type except it was a twin and had an antenna array on it's nose, my ham fisted attempts to fit these fiddly little spindly aerials meant I kept breaking them, I'd fix one and break another, eventually the morass of tube glue and bits of aerial sticking out of it at odd angles had me launch it at the wall and a scale velocity that must have been very near supersonic! After a moment to recompose myself had me sobbing in frustration! I suppose I would have been about eleven at the time. since then, patience is my greatest virtue and have a 'Zen' approach to kit assembly, which may go someway to reason why I build a lot of Japanese subject!
Miko (the trauma of the experience also put me off building WWII German types, I can't think of one I've bought since??)
[although I do have a rare foray into1/48 in the stash namely a Ju87 Stuka, but this is for a wacky 'what if' that destroys the menacing sinister reputation of that particular Nazi dive bomber, more on this later????]
