Ahajmano Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hello, my name is Aydin. I have a problem. The first step is to admit you have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter31a Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 83 or so kits? Amateur! No problem that I see. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 They all fit on one shelf with room to spare. That not a problem. That's a start. I do like your taste in kits, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 You're right, that is a problem. I can help with that. Just feel free to box up that RX7 Convertible and the Jaguar TWR and send those my way. I'm sure with help from the community, we can get that shelf empty for you.

Snake45 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I see your problem immediately. No vintage American muscle/iron, no drag cars, no hot rods! Luckily for you, it looks like you have a good deal of "swap fodder" than you can trade for some REAL American steel (and fiberglass)!

And Aydin, I've been back in the hobby a couple years and have at least twice what you have. It's not a problem. Prices have gotten a little silly in the past few months. It that trend keeps up you'll be happy you have a large stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Cohen Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The only problem I see is that you need to organize your kits better so that: 1 - you can easily read all the boxes without turning your head 2 - arrange them flat so the parts don't shift and break. 3 - get them off the floor, especially if they are in a basement that gets damp.

bobthehobbyguy Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Don't see a problem. I see a nice collection of kits. Its a problem when you have more kits than you can build in multiple lifetimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 You have a problem when you are hiding them all over the place- friends and family houses, storage units, trunk of the car, etc. Admitting your problem is the first step, but if you are actively building them and buying more with the intent of building them, then you have nothing to worry about. Those of us who go to places like Ollie's and Hobby Lobby and scoop up discounted kits, we might have a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 While I like many of you have plenty of kits to build in my lifetime and then some, my problem is I don't have hardly enough "motivation" to even make a dent in my stash and convert some into built models. Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm. Yes, I am plagued by that same problem. Good news is that I have some vacation time this week and will be sitting at the bench getting some WIPs done.

Deuces Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Same problem I'm having..... Last model I built was in 1974….. I started collecting kits in???? '98 I think... I just need a swift kick in the keester to get me motivated.... ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Come back an tell me of your kit collection when you have to carry a spiral bound note book to log all the various kits you have . I had this many in the 1980's . I'm planning a cross country move in 2020 and I'll wind up renting a full size Pods cubicle just to move kits .
