So I was reading through these posts and said to myself - I can't possible be as out of control as my buddy Tom. So I started counting kits this evening.  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[  Okay so I got it bad and I need to sell some kits.  I will be offering them to the forum first. I sure wish I wouldn't have started down this road.  Number of kits x $300 per kit = OMG  And Dennis thinks he needs help!

To be honest - I quit counting when I got over 100 and there were a lot more to go. Way more than I will ever fit on the layout. I do see a number of them that I can say for sure will not find a place on the layout - I will be posting a list when I get ready to sell some.

 ;D  I don't have 300+ of them but I have enough kits that I had to create a spreadsheet listing everything I had stashed away so I could print out a listing and take it with me to the EXPO so I wouldn't accidentally buy something I already had stashed away.  It wasn't really a problem with the bigger kits, like the FSM kits, but with the smaller kits I'd often confuse "I'd really like to have that one" with "I already own that one".  ;D  ;D  ;D

There's a fine line between Hobby and Mental Illness.

Being fairly new to the hobby I have not collected more than I can build yet, but I am working on it! I have had the privilege of visiting some amazing layouts from long time modelers. Each and everyone had stacks and stacks of kits waiting to be built, even when their layouts were nearly complete (one is never done). So not to throw kerosene on this fire  ::) ;D I noticed even more smaller boxes stacked at least equally high. I think they are called 'kit built rolling stock' and 'Brass Locomotives'. I wonder how many heart attacks would occur if these were counted up, priced out and added to the total. Sorry, sometimes I just can't help myself  ;D

Bob and Jim, Thanks. This hobby is crazy lol. I already move some framing to try to get a large area for a city scene. I really like George's city scene's but not no way near as much detail. He's a amazing modeler, As the guy's here. I can't believe it's that complicated and yet rewarding to us.Dennis
