  • Building scale models and collecting them are two seperate hobbies! I know this from experience as I seem to have more in my stash than I will or have ever completed!
    Many people wanted to see what I have in the stash - so here it is! Kinda . . .
    As I have so many models I thought it would be a good idea to show you all the "small" kits I have, a second video will eventually be made to feature all the larger kits.
    Join me in this video as I finally come to terms with how many plastic model kits I really have in my stash!

      @Cmndr Roy Fokker I know alot of modelers who look down on those of us that don't build the most complicated or difficult kits. He definitely seems like he is one of those. I wouldn't say it's a sense of humour thing, as he's not joking.

      @Cmndr Roy Fokker His history of rude comments in the past says otherwise. Definitley agree with your point though. Some people seem to think they'll gain social status by building the most overcomplicated, pain inducing kits out there (I'm looking at you, Revell T90!)

      It's a hard reality. Some kits are short run editions, some are limited, some are so hard to get (because they quickly disappear from shops), some are true unicorns and some are just great offers on auctio so it would be real shame not to try to obtain them. Besides, I've noticed model kits got more expensive recently, not much, but still and I'm glad I bought some back in a day. Some models can put on value with time, so if your modelling days would pass eventually, you can leave them for someone or sell with good prize

    Oh my goodness... I had such a wash of nostalgia just now coming across your video, it actually brought a tear to my eye.
    The Airfix Folland Gnat on the thumbnail brought a flood of memories of my dear mum. It must have been one of the first kits she ever bought me. We didn't have much growing up in the early 70's, but she indulged my model making hobby whenever she could. I didn't do them justice, being a little kid, but they will now serve one purpose as I still have them in a cupboard, and that is to remind me of those special days and one special lady.
    A heartfelt thanks Matt for bringing back some 'lost' memories. I haven't touched a kit since 83 and, like yours, it's untouched, still in the box - a Revell History Makers Gemini capsule. A birthday present from, you guessed it, dear ol' mum. You have inspired me also to get back into modelling. Thanks again.

    Hi Matt It was illuminating to see your stash but 83 is quite small compared with my stash which numbers some 800 + kits.
    Yes I have a bigger problem
    There are a couple of warnings I have to make you aware of.
    Firstly the Ta 152 is actually the old Frog kit and the He-70 is and ICM kit.
    The He -70 is a really nice kit and worth a good bash at but it has a serious flaw in the wing roots engineering as you will find out.
    you will need to whittle the spar sections to allow the wings to fit properly and after that its a real gem.
    The Academy P-51s are terrible but fun to build and the Revell Spitfires are new and older tooling kits both not that accurate mate.
    I did a project on my channel of the older tooling Airfix Mk-Vb Spitfire and it still has it mate.
    I may well do a video on my stash which will probably blow peoples minds I know my wife just stares at it in disbelief.
    Good video mate and I will check out you bigger stuff.

    When I decided to emigrate sold my stash (about 200 boxes) and with that money I paid for the airplane ticket. I'm seeing many kits that I had (curiously, never saw a Heller Thunderjet box in good shape, ha!), BTW: The Ta-152 is a rebox from an old Frog kit if i'm not wrong.

    Bro.... I had a painful realization, over the past couple decades, that I unintentionally became a collector. I don't know how many kits I had in total, but I'm sure it reached easily over the 100 mark. I bought them only with the intention of building them.
    Life, however played the same cruel trick on me that it has played on most of us. I ran out of time, space etc. Gaps in employment made it neccessary for me to sell quite allot of them on Ebay over several years. That was a painful, but liberating experience. I still have quite a few kits... still more than I have room for, but hopefully I will be gifted with time and space to construct some of them.
    Going to cry heavily in my coffee now... pardon me.

    We're not here to judge, just want to see what you've got!
    Some of us have large stashes because you have to buy kits (and even aftermarket parts) you're interested when they come out; if you wait until you're "ready" to build, the kit will no longer be in production and difficult/expensive to obtain. Buy when you can or you miss out. I've missed the 1/48 Wessex, 1/35 FV 432, resin detail sets for 1/48 Sea Harriers....

  • @brucegibbins3792

    I don't have a stash, Matt. In my wonderful world of kit building, there is the kit I'm currently building, the kits I have finished and behind all of those are the kits that are awaiting their turn to be built and these seldom number more than two, or three max.
    Perhaps if I had a wide range of interests then I'd have a stash I guess, but now my interest is pre-nuclear Submarines, USN & RN only and further limited to 1/72 I'll finish those up; PDQ. Flicking through the net recently, I've scoped the next kits RAF MTB with a big roundel painted at the forward quarter, from WW2 and a USN PBR from the Vietnam War era. Those should see me out.

It turned out pretty damn and runs very nicely. I’m sure they would only be too happy to give you any advice you may need to motorise this kit.

      Yeah I know the guys at budget model railways, if I remember correctly they used an old Lima chassis to power the rail bus kit.

    I think every scale modeller can relate to this stash video. We end up buying a nice collection of models, because we like the subjects & we want to build a model of it . But instead of making the kits already in the stash; we get more because we like the look of them. But fear not there are things in life much worse to become addicted to, than collecting & making scale model kits.
    However if you are feeling like you have got one, too many kits. Just go through them and think "do I want to build that?". Put them to one side to sell or donate them to a charity like MODELS FOR HEROES. That's what I ended up doing. I ended up donate about 7 or 8 kits to MODELS FOR HEROES, a few months ago. That I had lost any interest in building.
    It’s always a great feeling when you donate to a charity of any kind. Plus it helps to free up space. Anyway great video Matt. It was nice to see what you have got in your collection.

      I part exchanged a drug addiction for modelling. 18 month clean. Actually met someone in rehab who was into scale modelling and we talk on the regular and share pictures of out projects. Modelling genuinely keeps me on the wagon; having my mind in one place and seeing the finished outcome. Always like to talk to other keen modellers on FB groups too, the community on the whole is very friendly.

    Hey, everyone is a collector of something. Here in the great state of Texas, most people collect firearms. There's people with vast shoe collections. Having model kits A) takes up less space, B) isn't as expensive and C) if you're into it, retain a large amount of value and sellability (I don't do that but still.) Also, having a nice, relaxing hobby like building model kits or lego is good for your mental health. I've never been happier than when I have something on in the background and I'm building a model kit. Those who judge should look at themselves too, everyone collects something.

    I love that DHC Twin Otter. It's an old Matchbox kit, and I've had several, and never had any fit problems. Matchbox kits did have some annoying quirks, but fit was never one of them. Matchbox were great, as they made subjects nobody else did. Their inter-war Armstrong-Whitworth Siskin, is still one of my all-time favourite model kits.
    Likewise, the Dapol/Airfix crane. That dates to possibly the late 1950's. It can be made to work. I've got a couple of them in my stash - they're good for greeblies on sci-fi models. Bits turn up all over TV shows like 'Stingray' and 'Thunderbirds'.
    The Thunderbirds kits are retools of the earlier IMAI kits. I have all those,(over many, many years) so didn't bother getting the new ones. I was hoping that they had been retooled, to remove the 'play' features of the older IMAI kits, which took a lot of hacking away at missile launchers, overscale wheels, etc.
    The Academy 'Storch' (Stork) comes with a 1/72 scale VW 'Kubelwagen' ('Bucket Car'), and is superior to the Airfix version in all respects.
    The 'Blue Box' Airfix Spitfire Vb, in the markings of 303 Squadron ace, Jan Zumbach, dates from the 1970's. I had one when I was still at school. Very nice kit, though.
    Not a problem - very similar to my stash. Although you always say to yourself: "No more. That's it." Ten minutes later, you're flicking through a copy of 'Flypast', and think: "I don't have a kit of a Bronco..." When Airfix were brought back to life, I made a point of buying all the kits that I'd made as a kid. A lot of kits. 😂😂😂

    I can totally relate to this, I am a keen 1/35th scale vehicle modeller, I started as a teenager, stopped for 25 years (but kept all my old unmade kits) and restarted three years ago. My collection is vast, over 300 kits and mainly WWII (good job I have a man cave to store them in), I just enjoy collecting new models and adding them to my collection but I don't think I will be able to build them all in my lifetime, however, they often become more valuable as they become rare to find.
    Collection is part of the enjoyment as well as constructing and painting them, I am enjoying rekindling my younger days and developing new skills (airbrushing, photoetch and resin parts) so no need to feel guilty.
