She never did. But cleaning out the house when my dad went in the nursing home fell on me. The bedroom closet was filled floor to ceiling, wall to wall of yarn my mom hoarded over the years.

My mom passed away in 2015. My dad went in the nursing home in 2016; so the house was cleaned out that summer of 2016. Dad died in 2017.Stuart wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 6:07 pmIt's a shame you can't do it for her if you still have all the pieces.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 4:51 pm

Oh hell no... threw them all out. She had way too much of yarn, I was glad to get rid of them. Even my wife was astounded with the amount of yarn my mom hoarded over the years.

Good thing she wasn’t into building models! Whoever heard of not finishing a project before starting another? And hoarding stuff to do it with?BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:47 pm

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Achtung, Spitfire!!!!
Yeah, I've never heard of anyone doing that in a hobby before!

The most numerous subject type in my stash is 1/35 M4 Sherman’s, counting in at 21… 22 if you add the sole M50 Sherman… for aircraft, my most numerous type is Bf-109s, coming in at 18. With two of those being in 1/32 and the rest in 1/48.
