Most of us have a stash of kits and materials, sometimes impressively large (I’ve known modelers whose stash rivaled a small hobby shop), others much less so. And most of us know that an awful lot of the stuff is not going to get built or the materials used. That’s more obvious with a huge stash, where a program of building at a rate of a kit a week might require a decade or more at that rate to make a sizable dent in the total. But even a smaller stash may contain a fair amount of stuff that no longer fits your needs or interests.
Another option is to donate it. Many model clubs and organizations have a “donations” section on their websites where you can offer up your
model for sale or trade. You can also check out online marketplaces like eBay or Amazon to see if there are any buyers for your model. If you’re not interested in selling or trading your model, you can always donate it to a local museum or historical society. They may be able to use it for educational purposes or to display it in their collection.


So, what to do with all that stuff?

Well, there are a few options. One is to sell it. There are a number of websites that specialize in buying and selling model kits and materials, and eBay is a good place to start. You can also try local model shops or swap meets.
