I’m sure there’s a diagnosis for this behaviour but when I first started building models earlier in the year it was buy one, build one but now it appears I’m buying them faster than I can build them. Is there a cure?

In a nutshell ..... No! You're now experiencing what a fly feels when it wanders into a spider's web. If your stash is organised and catalogued then you are deemed a 'collector' which is very honourable, otherwise if not, then you are deemed a 'hoarder' and should seek professional advice .I’m sure there’s a diagnosis for this behaviour but when I first started building models earlier in the year it was buy one, build one but now it appears I’m buying them faster than I can build them.

I just presumed that was a best kept secret.The cure is to let the SO know about all your purchases.............
(Yes the kit only cost £20, but theres £50 worth of AM stuff and £30 ofnew paints and I bought some new tools at £70 too.......)
It is, but you wanted a cure .......I just presumed that was a best kept secret.
Wot! keep a secret from SWMBO? You gotta be kidding! She'll know more about your purchases than you do!I just presumed that was a best kept secret.

Oh yes I would!you wouldn't believe how many duplicate books I've bought!
Yes: self-discipline.I’m sure there’s a diagnosis for this behaviour but when I first started building models earlier in the year it was buy one, build one but now it appears I’m buying them faster than I can build them. Is there a cure?
Lol, well I’m glad I’m not alone with this affliction.I’ve done that with records Dave. I once bought two copies of the same record on successive Saturdays.... I now have a database on my phone for the classical stuff.
Hi Carl, the only known cure is ever larger injections of plastic from your preferred plastic emporium!
Yes Jakko, it's very easy to say that!I’ve found it fairly easy to say, “No, not going to buy this kit.”
Also easy to then not buy it, is my experience However, experiences may vary …Yes Jakko, it's very easy to say that!
Every model show I've been to in the last 2 years, I've told myself and anyone else who'd listen "NO MORE KITS". The best I've managed is to only buy two.
My other downfall is charity shops. I can't resist a bargain.
