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.

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)! B)

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. I noticed that right off.

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.

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. :(

83 or so kits? Amateur! No problem that I see. ?

You have a problem once you get over the one thousand mark.

I concur! ;)

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!

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.

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.

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.... ??

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 .
