I've built about 10-20. But out of them only about 9 turned out looking good. The rest have been trashed.

Must be more than 30 since I started building kits when I was about 9. Most of those kits were tanks and military planes, which in turn got blown up some time or another.



Recently built 7 kits in about 3 months. The more recent ones turned out better than the earlier ones (for obvious reasons)

I would be guessing at least several hundred for me, likely more. I did my first one when I was 6 or seven and havent stopped building since. I have a hundred or so unbuilt, and about 50 built that have survived a couple moves and general mistreatment. My first one was an `82 Trans Am (it was a brand new kit back then) and i tried to paint all the parts after I built it.

Gee,I guess 3 or 4 hundred since the 50's. I've "lost" several
collections over the years ! I have about 50 built up and on display another 50 or 60 packed away awaiting more display areas and about 150 unbuilt ,and thats not counting diecasts !!
