SPA Modeler

I was poking around Scalemates and ran across global stats for the site

Managed on Scalemates:
» Stash (2,648,643)
» Wishlist (1,124,603)
» Completed (320,484)
» Started (86,013)
» For sale (47,479)

So we have 2.6 Million models, we want 42% more than that to get to 3.8 million models. Or my guess, we will always want 42% more models regardless of the size of the stash.
We have built 10% of our stash completed/(stash+completed)
We have started 3.2% of our stash

These numbers are why we see so many new model manufacturers and kits - we have an insatiable demand.

I compared that to my specific numbers:

Stash (162)
Wishlist (N/A)
Completed (74)
Started (9)

And I'm doing better than the base. I have built 31% of my stash but have started 6%

Shelf queens:
1/25 Trumpter La France fire engine
1/16 Verlinden Bandits! 2 O'Clock B17 Gunner
1/48 Hasegawa F-14A
1/350 Minicraft Titanic
1/32 AMT Anakins Pod Racer (the queen of the queens)

On the bench:
1/12 Tamiya YZR500
1/20 McLaren MP4/7 Honda

Just started (base coated cockpit black)
1/48 Tamiya Rufe
1/48 Tamiya P-51B

I usually have 3 or 4 kits going at a time. Perhaps I make one of those a shelf queen.

Stash 378
Started 14
Completed 89

Stash: 808
Started: 43
Completed: 315
Wishlist: 275

Sweet! Great numbers there. I only wish I knew how many I have in my stash. Most of it is inaccessible inside my storage unit. I don't even know what I have in there! As for built; well, I'd have to go back a few years, but I do average 45-50 builds a year so figure that out. The most acquisitions I get are during Christmas and birthday, especially now!

I started a scalemates account to post my completed models... all 1614 of them. I don't know how to use Scalemates apparently.

Mark, doing all the data entry for a stash can be time consuming. But the end results are worth it I think.

It’s been awhile since I updated my scalemates list.

Completed on hand: 100
Stash: 36 not including figures
On the bench: 1 Tamiya P-38

Shelf Queens: none,usually finished or trashed

Wish list: maybe 2-3

I haven't looked at my Scalemates account in awhile

Oh wait we were supposed to reveal our wishlist. Um...ok....well....15519. I like wishing for stuff

Thanks Carlos. I will be taking an even longer time to get started since I have no access to most of my stash. I just wish they'd have a setup that allows the posting of finished model pics with short descriptions.

They do have such a set up Mark. You create your own photo albums on there, the site hosts the images.
