I started a spreadsheet using Semroc's classic kit list and have added a few other manufacturers like Fliskits and modern Semroc to it to get a feel for what has been made over the years and the list has over 2000 kits in it. I wonder what the total number of kits ever produced is. I would be wonderful if someone could maintain an authoritative list.

I've built 573 as of 10:49pm on 2/27/17. Not sure how many I haven't listed because they aren't completed or how many I've yet to start.

WOW! Built 573? Over how many years? Where do you keep them all? I've been a BAR for a little less than 20 years and have only built 190. I presently have 160 of these and I'm running out of room (and the wife says no more room) |

I keep them all in the trees around B6-4 Field. Okay, maybe it just seems that way. We have a "bonus room" under the garage that is my storage area. My wife is making noises about turning that into a workout room, so my days may be numbered.

I was looking at my kit spreadsheet earlier this evening thinking about this thread and was surprised to find I had 29 manufacturers represented. I figured it might be half of that. It's dominated by Estes, Semroc, Fliskits, Quest and New Way Spacemodels in that order, but there are ones and twos from a bunch of others.
Total number of kits listed in the spreadsheet is 414. I don't know how many built-up models I have - I'm not sure I want to do that inventory...... I have two Alphas (one in the style of my first one in 1968 and one of the next iteration), a Big Bertha , a Solar Warrior and a Shrike (Semroc repro) currently actively being worked on.

Bill, you need to IXNAY those noises from your wife and let her know if SHE wants a 'workout' room that bad, SHE needs to build that said workout room and stay outta YOUR room.
When someone says they want something but are notified THEY have to build/create what they want, the 'need' often disappears, saving YOU a headache.
