Ive got about 35 built models and 55 unbuilt. That unbuilt number for some reason doesn't seem to go down much even though I have been finishing models lately. Revell and Round 2 have been doing too good a job the last few years. The best way to make sure your collection doesn't overwhelm is to build slowly. Put in the extra effort, the extra time it takes to do it the very best you can.

I've got about 75 built, and I have nearly 200 unbuilt, and tons of rebuilders... and I got back into the hobby at the end of 2012 with only a stash of 60 kits lol

I've got around 75 built and excess of 1500 Unbuilts plus resin bodies but I've been buying for a little over 10 years now. And no plans on stopping I just enjoy the hooby and I've been building off and on since I was 8 and I'm 56 now.

Unbuilt kits, I have hundreds of both cars and airplanes.

Built/finished, I have somewhere right around 100 each of cars and airplanes. This includes some I built as far back as high school (late '60s).

I've been building off and on for over 50 years.  Moves and other circumstances required giving away previous work (except for a few gems).

In the current crop, I have 16 built and another 10 in work or in the stash.

Advice from Mr. Jantrix is good.  Go slow, have fun and do a good job.

I have about 15 built, 12 that are partly built and maybe 100 that are unbuilt. I tend to make an enthusiastic start and then lose interest for a while, then pick up again.

Built? 30

WIP? lost count

Opened? a bunch

Sealed ? 200+

Although I am thinning the stash, as I sell off a dozen or so, another dozen somehow show up in their place!

Mine seem to breed like rabbits. Every time I go into the stash to find something of interest to me at the moment, I swear I find at least two or three kits I have NO memory of buying at all.

Much be catching, as i seem to do the same, I'll buy a new kit or win one on eBay, only to find I already have one hiding in the stash

I've got about 150 built, some of which are older and are packed away.  I have at least another 150 unbuilt and that pile just keeps on growing.

You just reminded me, the strangest surprise I've found in my stash is a nice restorable builtup AMT '66 Mustang fastback GT that was with a bunch of other stuff I bought off eBay six or seven years ago. I have absolutely NO recollection of buying it--maybe it was part of a Corvette junkyard I bought (was buying a lot of AMT '63-'67 Sting Rays at about that time). I'd have already stripped and rebuilt it except for one thing--it's been brush-painted--not perfectly, but not horribly, either--with what appears to be Pactra Leaf Green, which was exactly how I did mine back in 1966! Giving serious thought to just cleaning it up a little and putting it on my shelf just as-is.

I'm some where in this neighborhood as well.

In all various stages of completion.

I would say a good majority of them have been started at some point over the years.

Just looked on my Database, and I have 154 unbuilt kits, mostly cars, 2 old time German trusks and 3 London Buses, most of my older builds were either sold or given away a few years ago in a house move

These are my models I still have that I've built over the last few years

Built and done,,,,maybe 100 give or take a few .

Unbuilt last count was almost 400 .

Builtups / started on kits maybe another 50 or so . Hard to keep track,,they keep multipling everytime I ck .

 

Just a couple days ago I went looking for a kit I thought I had 3 of yet could only find 2 .

I did find a couple I didn't know I had , A builtup original issue 61 Ford convertible and a started on Johan Comet pro stock . I have no idea when or where or how long I've had  either one.

Built probably about 20, unbuilt kits 160 ish, I build way slower than I buy !

thats my problem as well, in my mind, I have plans for all of them ....

Mine too
I lost count of how many unbuilt kits I have a long time ago, I have bought car and truck kits regulary for almost 40 years and I build few so they seem to add up.
