Well, that's it.....I'm going to plan a Viking funeral for myself. I'm going to get a big boat and put me and all my 'stuff' in it, set it out to sea....
Better hope the lead mountain doesn't sink the boat before the flaming arrows reach it
A great thread and Bezzo's "letting it go would be the end of a dream" nails a good part of the answer to why I hang onto stuff but with the exception of a few spur of the moment purchases most of my (relatively small) mountain was bought for projects that invariably saw me buying books to research the history of whatever I was planning...I can fit the figures I've amassed into a couple of storage crates...the books,paints,modelling tools however...
I have come to realise the stuff that I will let go of was bought in the early years of Internet when I would go to a show to buy because I didn't own a computer and my few favourite model stores were closing down...the 'net has allowed me to become more selective...and I'm glad I hung onto all that stuff as I now am steadfastedly getting my brush onto figures I bought...cough...not all that recently...so the dream hasn't died...it was alive in my shed and lurking on the shelves
Addicted ?...no....constantly inspired...absolutely
