When I was 19 I made ticket deliveries to business for a travel agency. My normal car was a VW Rabbit. When that car died one summer I had to use one of the boss's Cadillacs, a 1960 convertible. I got plenty of attention that summer.

I do not have a stash, at least technically, and it does seem to be pretty rare.
Allow me to be more specific...
I have boxes full of old work, finished kits in various stages of disintegration, mostly stuff from childhood that deserves only to be stored in dusty old boxes. When I recently caught the modelling bug again (my 3rd time) I went through all that mess and discarded about 80% of the mess. I kept some key components like the top cover of my greatest Christmas present ever, the Tamiya 1/24 scale Tiger-I that I was given at age 13. It is a disaster, but I still love her. But a few (now down to one) boxes of poorly built not maintained old kits is not a stash right?
So when the bug bit again (recently) instead of rushing out to buy a new kit, I promised to either finish or sell the ones I still had in their own boxes, not the community graveyard boxes mentioned before. The kits I had that were started are:
Kits I have that I do not want to build (they are way over 25 years old) are:
So yeah, no stash in the way ya'll mean.

- 1/48 Tamiya FW190A
- 1/48 Revell Pro-Modeller Me410B
- 1/48 Hasegawa F86 Sabre
- Verlinden B-17 Waist Gunner (120mm)
- (I have finished the top three, not sure what to do or where to take the last one)
Kits I have that I do not want to build (they are way over 25 years old) are:
- AMT 1968 Shelby Mustang "Custom"
- AMT 1967 Mustang Coupe
- Fujimi 1966 GT-40 with PE
- (I plan to put these on FB Marketplace)
- AMT Dodge Viper GTS (I'd guess maybe a 1995 version?)
- Monogram 1997 SVT Cobra
- Monogram "Mc'Donalds Thunderbird" (Bill Elliot I think)
- Monogram "Texaco / Havoline Thunderbird" (Davey Allison)
- Monogram 1/48 "First Lunar Landing"
- AMT Star Trek (NG) "Cut-Away USS Enterprise"
So yeah, no stash in the way ya'll mean.
