Default What's In Your Collection???

This area of the forum seemed like the best place to start this thread, so if it's not, maybe it will find the appropriate place on its own...

The title of this thread is a "theft" of the Capital One commercials (What's In Your Wallet?). I know most of us here are builders, and our sickness is the proverbial "Just one more, I'll stop after this one, I promise!". And, it's always "just one more" after that, ad nauseum...

We're addicted...

What I want everyone to 'fess up to is just how bad your addiction is. Just how sick a puppy are you?

As part of this deep-soul-cleaning, I intend to start this session with the attached zipped HTML file listing the bulk of my rocketry sins in detail. It shows how many I have in the collection, and in what condition they're in. Many have been left this way for a long time, patiently waiting their turn in the queue to be finished.

Be sympathetic...

(Update) The attached file had some corruption, but it should be repaired now. If you cannot read the page after opening the zip, let me know...

[SNIP] Be sympathetic...
ME: "Hi, my name's Jay..."

GROUP: "Hi, Jay."

ME AGAIN: "...And I'd just like to admit that I have about 10 boxes of parts from Semroc in my model rocketry stash. Oh, sure I've got some Estes stuff, but it's mostly for kitbashing.

And for Out Of Production stuff, I've got a 'Blast from the Past Rocketry' M-10, a NASA Space Shuttle, and an Omega that I haven't touched in years.

But then I've got that way cool Shrox Icarus that has about a million basswood fins that need to be sanded so I can put the whole thing together."

(LOOKS AROUND THE ROOM) "That's it for me. Who's next?"
