Is this normal? How many unbuilt models do you have?

I have probably 20 or so unbuilt kits. Most of which are Accurail. I have one Roundhouse and 5 Athearn kits, the rest are Accurail. I have one unbuilt structure. The ADM grain elevator.

Only going to add more to that list tomorrow after I go to a show. I can't wait. I haven't been to a show since July. I've only been to the hobby shop a few times, but that gets old after awhile because it's the same thing.

Hopefully over my break coming up next week I'll maybe get a few more kits done and then over winter break I'll have plenty of time to work on stuff most likely.

I have several dozen structures unbuilt, at least 8 locomotives awaiting conversion and/or painting and decalling and probably 25+ freight cars unbuilt. But that is nothing compared to my plastic model airplane kits of which I have over 100 (unbuilt).

If I build one a day starting the first day of retirement, I should finish in 18-24 months. Of course this assumes "several facts not in evidence": I will live long enough to retire and I will still have the vision and steady hands that will allow assembly of HO scale models. Currently, all these points are iffy at best!! Thank God for RTR!

I think I still have some O scale kits to finish up...and I switched to HO in 1987 !!

all mine have been started. my problem comes in when i think i can do the next step better than the kit design dictates. then there is the interiors: the kit was'nt designed for one, but i'm going to include it anyway, and so it goes....

i do have this watertower i'm having trouble finding something to do next for..., it could be nearing completion.

At train shows or when visiting a new hobby shop, I will pick up a kit or two. I have on the larger number side of unfinished kits. Now that it is getting cold, I will work on several at the same time, aging differently to not develop a pattern.

One kit unbuilt,thats it. Seeing I work six days a week,Sunday is model train day. I can't just let a kit sit there and go unbuilt,it must be done. The best part about this is,once the kit gets built. I send the wife to the hobby shop in Savannah,GA "Bull Steet Station" for more.

12 HO cars kits, 5 structure kits.. and I'm really looking to put them all away as I'm shifting to 027/0.................

Nice to have kits around foir when you might want to building something. I have heard where a lot of folks are not buying car kits like in the past............. don't have time to building them................

I have around 300 kits still in their boxes. Most of them are simple kits like Athearn "blue box", Roundhouse or Accurail, but I also have a lot of detailed ones like A-Line 5-unit well cars kits with tons of add-on details, Intermountain cylindrical hoppers, many industrial and commercial structures, two refineries (Plastruct and Walthers) that I want to combine, and so on. I'm not in a hurray because the only place I can run the 110 available cars is my son's 4x8 layout. The real 20x15 two-level layout is still being planned but could be under construction in the next few weeks.

You'll know you are out of control when you discover that you have bought two of the same kit at different times. I've done that. TWICE!!!

[Cannoli]

At last count I had 7 cars and 3 buildings in HO, and 3 buildings in N that are still untouched.

[jacon12]

I have no kits to be built. Painted, yes.... I hate painting... [^]

Having just returned from a weekend GXT show, I managed to pick up ONLY two grain car kits and one beatup 40' flat that will be a weathering project for my new Bragdon weathering powders. I also get to practice swapping wheelsets and couplers on the flat car. So, adding in the two grain cars, I think I'm at 4 Pullman palace cars, 4 grain cars and two structure kits.....All waiting for when it gets too cold to even GO outside.

Remember the adage "the mind is the second thing to go" guys. Take stock early and often, build, build build.
