A recent exchange of comments with Paul and Al sparked an 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' challenge on spares boxes. I carried out a savage purge of my spares boxes last year - yes 'boxes' - it's a long time since there was just one!

1/144 scale aircraft spares. As well as unused kit bits this has been filled by leftovers from a number of bodge conversions. |

The still-embryonic 1/1200 ship bits box. These bits are the off-cuts from my recent HMS Hood conversions. |
Mh I'm also a long time in the hobby and I don't have much in my spare box. So you made me curious about the other boxes ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is allready nice :-)

Tim,
ReplyDeleteI have several boxes of 'spares' ... including one that is actually a large crate in my shed! I dread to think what I could make with what is inside that crate.
All the best,
Bob
I am quite shocked by your tiny spares box!
ReplyDeleteNot what I expected at all. A little voice in my head says this is a good thing.
This is a scary thought. I think I have more bits than figures.
ReplyDeleteHome casting has only made it worse. -Ross
only one? think I'm up to six...)

ReplyDeleteI've started gently withthe most 'organised' boxes. More still to come.

ReplyDeleteI knew it was time to cull my spares collection then it outgrew it's large archive box! I partly achieved this by using the contents to build several complete models!

ReplyDeleteFear not - it get worse!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure home casting counts as 'work in progress' and not spares...

ReplyDeleteLike I said, plenty more still to come!
