Yeah it's over-indulgence at it's finest! Guilty as charged.

All of those have been bought since January 2006.
Dam dude, that's a better selection then my local hobby shop!!!

I know that one Terry! My dad made one for me (out of cardboard), a round disc with the words:

"This is a Round tuit. Not a Square tuit, an Oblong tuit, or even a Triangular tuit, but a Round tuit.
Whenever I ask anyone to do something, and they say 'I will when I get around to it', I expect it done immediately, because I've got one !"

Charles, I wish I could make models the way you do! Unfortunately I have two main collections in my head...Luftwaffe 1939-45, and aircraft of the NZPAF/ RNZAF 1918-present.
If I see a kit that I need for either of those collections, a good parts donor, or (very rarely) just a type I like, even if dosen't fit in with above, I grab it if I can... yes, I have a cupboard like Dwight's (Kgambit's), which my fiancée 'affectionately' refers to as "THAT cupboard"...!

Just tell your fiance' that you're expecting a long cold winter.

Same here. My local hobby shop is the pits except for some basics so I have to buy everything mail order these days. Most of those kits were purchased while we still lived in Texas though - where I had access to some really good hobby stores.

Here is my little stash. I also have a SdKfz 251 armed with Wurfkorpers, a Deuce and a half, F-105 Wild Weasel, and a Space Shuttle - all which have lost there boxes somewhere in the past 20+ years

All but 3 of these I found in my stuff stored at my parents and had totally forgotten about them.
