Clifford KeeslerThanks Augie, and that is not all of them. There are the F-4s, F-18s, F-15s etc. I will take some pictures of them also. Holger wanted to know where I put all of these models, so I told him I would show him. LOL.

Clifford KeeslerThank you both,@ James, actually that is a much modified Lindberg Goose kit. It was rather basic, so It gave me great practice on my scratch building skills, plus it only cost me 6.00 U.S. so not a bad. Lindberg puts out some very nice 1/48 biplane kits as well.

GlennNice display but clearly you don't have cats! 🙂 I have to photograph my cabinets but most are hidden behind stacks of boxes of models waiting to be built!

Clifford KeeslerThank you all very much.@Glenn, I have one cat, but somehow she manages to step over the Heilo's without breaking them.

GlennGee Your lucky with your cat having "respect" for models. My furballs would "play" with them! I can't even leave a build unattended for a few minutes without something going astray! 🙂

Clifford KeeslerThank you all very much. That is just the "upstairs" collection, I have not got around to taking pictures of the "Man Cave" collection yet. LOL.

Clifford KeeslerThanks Holger. @Murad I agree AMARC, or at least that is what my wife thinks. LOL. I just realized I missed another whole shelf , that I did not take pictures of, guess I will have to add them. I now have all my F-4s on one shelf, so will get better pictures of them. I think the only person that has more F-4s than me is Augie.

RexIf 1/72 scale counts,,,,,,,umm, I have "a few" Phantoms. (96 in stash) I've only built about 50 in my lifetime, though.

GlennOh now i don't feel to bad about only owning around 43 Phantoms! I guess i don't have to join "Phantoms Anonymous" yet! 🙂 But i think my F-16's and F-18's will soon overtake them anyway! 😮

Murad ÖZERnah not an addiction when it comes to one simply can't have enough phantoms and cats, rest of the jets are pretty much insignificant next to them.

Rexlol, Augie,,,,,,,,,Rhino's Anonymous for all the Phantom Pholks on here,,,,,,and some other thing for those of us that build Skyhawks as our "potato chips" (most aircraft are like a meal, skyhawks are a snack)
15 December 2016, 18:03
Clifford KeeslerOK, I don't feel so bad anymore. Defenitely we need Rhino's Anonymous. I guess I am doing "Potato chips" right now as I am building a Skyhawk right now. I think I have more Tomcats than Rhino's. They are my 2 favorite aircraft. LOL.

RexClifford, don't get me wrong. I don't mean that Skyhawks are "puny" or something like that. I build 1/72, so almost everything beside Skyhawks are bigger and more involved builds. To me, Skyhawks in the stash are like a bowl of Lay's sitting next to my elbow while I watch a movie. I just can't help dipping into the bowl and building a Scooter anytime I don't have something else going right at that moment. I build Scooters on the side while working on something else. That helps with the painting time, and all of those moments when I have to wait for something to dry or the cement to set up.
Sort of like having a chip (crisp in UK) in between bites of the Entree, lol.

Clifford KeeslerI understand Rex. I have kind of gone on a Skyhaawk binge lately,I have added a few to the stash. LOL.

DutchI must say, you have covered every available surface and tucked your kits into every nook & cranny! I envy you. My wife would never let me do that. She went by a re-sale shop and purchased a sideboard with glass display case for my models, then promptly took it over for her sewing things and dishes! I have a few sections underneath for my books. Not to worry, when the last child moves out, I will take over the spare bedroom and crate a real man-cave!

RexHey Dutch,,,,,,,,Anne has that same basic rule. I am "allowed" to display my models in the living room, and anywhere else in the "open" part of the house,,,,,,,,as long as the shelves are in a "decent looking piece of furniture." Lucky for me, her idea of decent looking is not as strict as I first thought she meant, so it is not hard to meet her criteria. My problem right now is that I have display space for 50 aircraft, and I am building a collection to a theme that needs about 200. Expansion is not going to be very easy from here on out.

Clifford KeeslerI am slowly running out of space also, I will have to add some more shelves to the "man cave" LOL.

Clifford KeeslerSome where in all of this I have to find room for a 1/35 scale CH-47 Chinook and a 1/48 scale MH-53E.
