You could open up your own online hobby shop with all those models.

And what about the two vacuum cleaners?

I'd rather build them myself, thanks. Besides, where would I get a diecast Caudron G-4? Voisin La-III?

That's alot of books and , yeah stuff i guess.

By the look of it you'll need to stash away things everywhere you can, i would seriously consider using the bathroom and more 'workspaces' to stash away all of that.

In my case i just use the 'stuff it untill it's full then call the trashman' room under my apartment, i got loads of stuff too but most of it is in my hobbyroom where my PC used to stand, and my books and such are there too i hate the smell of old books and they dehumidify the house

I guess i have stuff that i would never throw away, like the newspapers from the landing on the moon, some old albums i got from an old man who stayed in England during the war that contains unique pictures. Some aircraft instruments and mostly books, books and magazines like 5 years of Air Forces Monthly and other stuff i gathered during airshows etc.

I guess during a lifetime some things really grow in sentimental value, so i understand your 'problem'

I am. I divide my time as carefully as I can.

If it's not out by the first of October I have my eye on Friedman's new British Cruisers of the Victorian Era.

I'm reading plenty, as I seem to have time to spare these days. The models have to wait until I can afford a computer desk. My model-building table is currently doing that job.

Actually it's rather small these days. I started the collection when I worked for a hobby distributor back in the late '70s. I lost more than a hundred to a fire in 1997, many of them very rare.

One of them was in my storage and I couldn't get it home on the train. I bought the second one cheap. It's nice and has cool attachments but the belt is broken so I'm using the older one until I can get a new belt. Then I will either throw or give the old one away.
