Title: It must have been a good idea at the time
Post by: Aksu on 25 July 2017, 04:06:08 PM
Looking for a ruleset in my piles of stuff I found my unbuilt 1/72 models. I must have thought at some point I need six more Airfix Chi Ha tanks. I mea, Six!? I already have two ready for gaming...

Well, you need eight minimum to besiege that castle anyway.

I found 3 Sheridan's in my stash just after I bought another one, because I thought I only had the one I had finished off. ;D

You can't have too many kits..

I just ordered a warlord chi ha, so i'm not judging here  :D

Now seriously, i have a bunch of 1/72 kits lying around that i don't intend to use ever. I just like to build one every now and then, for nostalgic reasons  :)

The Airfix Firefly kit in the top right hand was bought for pure nostalgia when I stumbled on it in a dusty pile in a local shop - it is the original 70s vintage issue that was the first kit I ever built with my dad. I don't think I will ever build it, just looking at the box gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

A couple of years ago I helped move a friend who used to go to our club and he had over 100 Kits, including lots of multiples that were far more than you would ever use in game.

I have about 4 times that, with a load of it resin kits (and therefore expensive...  :( ) from back when I bought to build (in the same manner as I buy miniatures to paint...  :- )

Never felt the need to buy 6 of one kit though...
