What ? No June or August !

Martin Oostrom
I now have to live with that failure for the rest of my life. 2023 is ruined forever
🤪

Bill Newcomer
Dude! You need to build faster!

OK you made me look at my damage. I bought 33 kits this year. AYE, Yi Yi!

Spanjaard
you can still order some more to compensate for June and Augist LOL!!!

John
Now I had to look at mine, 31 kits this year. One regional show and IPMS/USA in 2024 so I'm thinking dozens more in 2024. Happy New Year and Modeling in '24

I find it better not to pay attention. I just added 5 more and haven't finished a damn thing in forever. Is there a way to see what all got added to the stash in THE STASH?

Ellis Smith
Woah I need to buy more kits to keep up with you lot, mines a very small stash by comparison.

Martin Oostrom
Welcome, my fellow addicts 😄

Bossy, if you add the date bought and the price when adding a kit to your stash, you get two 'benefits'...
1) Your projects show a total cost 🙁
2) In the stash, on the right in blue, you see a date in a blue bar, that's your date bought/sold.

bossy122
Yes, I noticed the dates. Looks like I acquired 29 kits and only finished 4, none of which were started this year. Awful.

Spanjaard
good i have never added those details 😄

Pepe
😲

Bill Newcomer
Martin, the date method is how I determined my count for this year. I am generally pretty good at adding inventory. Cost? I don't want to know. Especially since I have purchased a lot of paint this year.

Martin Oostrom
Bill, Paints are priceless to me! I love the Molotow stuff, but at €29 for 30ml, thats too much. I'll wait for a discount somewhere.
I know that a €50 kit needs about €10-25 in aftermarket stuff and paint.

Bill Newcomer
Have you tried Green Stuff World Chrome?

Martin Oostrom
Nope. I did a quick google search and we have one supplier over here and 17ml costs €7,99 with another €7,50 for shipping.
Alclad is cheaper, but oh so fiddly to get just right. Que the Molotow!

I missed this post
Yes you should do this
I am always interested in stach albums
Always interesting to see what others get
Sometimes I see kits I haven seen before
I also.love to see what people wish for here its a good way to keep up with coming kits
You sure got some nice kits in the last year
I few I would be happy to have in my stach to

Martin Oostrom
Most of them were bought on Dutch eBay. To prevent more purchases I deleted the app from my phone 😁
No more temptation!

Jv
Lol not sure that would help me much
Just got another 8 models today

Bozzer
Mate, I noticed that you have the AMT Allied Van Lines kit? I'd love a scan of those decals, before you get around to using them.

bughunter
Martin, have you ordered also a new cabinet? Many of the new kits will merge into huge models so I guess you will need a lot of space for the finished ones.

Bozzer
Bughunter, I believe that he's ordered a barn, from IKEA! 😉

Now I don't feel so bad about my purchases this year. : )

Spanjaard
i so not feel bad.... about not adding the dates, so I can not even count 😄 😄

Martin Oostrom
Hey! This was all in 2023. I'm a changed man now 🤔

Spanjaard
you do not keep track anymore? 😄

Bozzer
Spanjaard, sometimes it's best, not to keep track 😉

Spanjaard
indeed!!!! 😄

Urban Gardini
Well I for sure don't keep track and that's damn good as my inflow of kits is unhealthy and I've not finished a kit since 2019. Started many but get them done is difficult for some reason. But it's too easy to buy kits...

It is like a duck

Wings are on and surface details beginning.

Trev
Nice. I'm definitely going to try the "pencils and tape in engine" trick, that looks really useful.

Dave
Really nice diorama, great details.
