Stash in the Attic

All kit modellers have them, and I think we all actually love to have them.  The inevitable stash is the pile of our aspirations, of trips to shows and shops with the thoughts of 'Oh go on, its not too expensive' or 'Well I really want an X to go with my Y' or even 'Weeeeell she'll never notice at home if I get this one!'.  We have all done it for one thing or another but kits just seem so easy to keep buying.

My stash has transformed over the last couple of years, if you asked me last year what was in my stash it would have been just 1:72/1:76 German vehicles and figures.  Well its moved on quite a bit now!  I still have most of the figures and a few vehicles left but until I can find a suitable diorama or other excuse to build & paint them they will be staying where they are.  That is my 'stored' stash, kits which will not see the light of day for a while for whatever reason, but I may bring some of the vehicles out of the store if I find I have display room.

So on to my 'active' stash, all of the goodies which I have collected for immediate building. This does not include kits which I have started, they have their own pile!  (Which seems to be increasing, I must get around to getting somewhere to put these on display so I have the morale to finish them!)  The stash is as follows:

There's quite a bit there to be getting on with as you can see!  I'm not one of these people who tries to put a timescale on these things, they will be done when they are done and I prefer it that way.  But which one to start first?  i think it will be the Tornado F3 or the Wessex, I'm in the mood for some Super Detailing!  Keep a lookout as I'm sure all of these will make it to the blog at one stage or another.
