Also have a 1/540 Revell USS Wasp that I found when I was moving last year, from when I was a kid. This has to be at least 25 - 30 years old.....

Does being worked on count as being in the stash?
1/700 Fujimi Kitty Hawk (1968)
1/350 Hasegawa Isokaze
1/350 MHM Arizona

No pics, because they are scattered in 4 rooms over two houses!

And as far as the CinC goes, what does it say that I had to sneak a 1/350 Akagi into the new house a couple weeks ago and have it tucked away on a top shelf in storage room in the basement?

When she eventually finds it (and she will), and I get the "Where did THAT come from?" thrown at me (and I will), I'm just going to say "I had that one and brought it out from my old house", and hope she buys it (and she might)!

Lets see.........
1/350 USS Missouri in process
1/350 USS Nimitz in process(on hold) conversion to 2005 config
approx 30 1/350 Trumpeter aircraft kits
1/350 USS New Jersey
1/350 Yamato
1/350 Arizona
1/700? USS John F Kennedy
approx 50 or so 1/72 scale aircraft (all post war modern)

Just added one today: Italieri 1/35 Vosper. Now, if the C-in-C just doesn't find out I'll be fine!

I felt like I owed it to myself. I was on one of the flights caught in the bad weather in Tennessee last night and we were on final approach and had to abort after we hit a wind shear. That plane was no more than 1,000 feet up and all over the sky! After we climbed out and headed to another airport the pilot came on the intercome and told us what had happened. I've never heard a commercial pilot sound so unstrung and the stewardess was visibly terrified! I think I came close to buying it last night, so I figured what the hell, life is short and uncertain - buy the darned thing!

Glad the finance minister never looks in my closet.

I was recently swapping spare rooms between my cave and the kids cave and at one point the stash ended stacked in the basement. Strange how much worse it looks piled up in the open compared to neatly stacked in a closet. And yes my wife did see it and yes she has an absolutely magnificent sense of humour...the stash remains intact, in my house and has actually grown slightly since....and we remain happily married. Bless her.

There are a few classics in that lot. Well done!

Wow...my C-in-C thinks I've lost my mind because of my (now) insignificant stash, haha. I can only hope to one day match the massive stashes on this thread.

My current stash is: (all 1/350)

USS San Francisco
USS Fletcher
USS The Sullivans
USS Alabama
USS North Carolina
USS Laffey

and a B-29, F4U Corsair, SBD Dauntless in 1/48.

One question has been plaguing me...What do you guys do with the models when they're finished???

Depends on how they came out. I keep them in a self( thats why i switched to 700 from 350).

Luckily, we have a thread showing that as well: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16218
Of course, there are others who donate, gift, or sell their completed works, too. Then there are those instances where the build was commissioned and is handed over to the customer.

Ok this is what I have waiting to be built.....Cheers mark

So here's my stash... not hard to guess that I only build IJN ships





Built ships' boxes. I'm not sure yet what to do with them...

Oh. My. God.

Hahaha, do it!! I got rid of my TV so shipbuilding is my #1 hobby...

My CinC is happy as long as I am, so I have no problems on that front

You got pretty much the entire Imperial Japanese Navy in there...

Wanna know my stash?
2 tomcats (1:72) a Merlin (1:72) and a Sea King (1:72).
Both helo's are in contest to become ship board helo for my Well Enhancer, the loosing helo might the winner for a place on Seven Atlantics helo pad, the Tomcats are just for decorations when they're finished...
BTW, 1 Tomcat is from the sundowners, the squad used for the movie Topgun.
O wait, I also have the Type VII C from Revell.

Edit: Um. It looks a little... too much when I type it out. I need to stop. Oh, and I have a ton of aftermarket PE, resin bits, etc from buying out stuff in package deals.

This is my shipyard on the left and the airfield to the right.

This is embarrassing..

Phew... I thought I was overdoing it. Now I feel almost normal.

I've got:

1/72 Gato sub + Eduard and WEM PE sets
1/35 PT 109
1/200 Arizona +KA set
1/72 "Black Swan"

and have a 1/350 USS New Jersey on the way + Pontos USS Iowa set.

... also a couple of 1/24 cars should the mood strike me.

I had some false starts on a couple of 'em but I put them all away and decided to focus on my 1/200 Bismarck. We'll see how long that lasts.
