im not sure how to answer this one.......
i got back in to this hobby in 2007,....since 2009 ive kept records of how many ive bought/built/sold each year
worst year was 2009 when i bought 72 kits (and funny enough im currently making one of them!).....ive slowed down a lot, last few years have been 20 to 25 kits,......so far this year it has been 1! (but that should change next weekend when i go to a show)
i used to buy a lot of stuff simply cos i could not that i actually 'needed' it
ive slowed down cos my modelling interests have become more focused over the years......now i dont see the point of buying stuff i have no idea when i shall build it,.....the loft is full of those already
ive managed to get the stash down to just under 120 kits (funny how i still 'cant find any thing to build lol ) and am comfortable with that figure....was once over 250
the Memsahib always moans if i DONT buy stuff every now and then.....she says i dont smoke, virtually dont drink, dont gamble or go to the football, etc, why shouldnt i spend money on something i enjoy?....think she's a keeper :D
