Am I the only modeler that has 2 or 3 projects going at the same time , I know I am not , what is it about this hobby , that we always have to do this , some of you have posted pictures of vast kit collections ( I don’t have the room here or else that would be the case with me as well !) Can’t wait to see replies to this one ![;)][:D]
I have 4 armor builds going, plus a car and a ship. I just want to get something done, my poor shelf is begging me to keep it company. If I wasn’t so picky anymore about certain accuracy issues, I’d be flooded in finished kits. To me they look much better built then lying dormant in a box.
Well, it is good to keep the fire burning by keep on stocking and chopping firewood.
I have an on-going Shermie Build, repainting my King Tiger, An M1A1 waiting in the wings plus a Concorde that needs some corrections.
I have 2 on the go for the Sherman Group Build.
But I set aside 2 other builds (including of course, another Sherman) for the time being.
Well I have just got back into modeling after 30 years [:O]
II am doing the Sherman build [first time filling seams, and going with weathering etc.] but I am already thinking ahead.
I want to do a M5 and an M5 recon, [and maybe a M5 prototype that had the quad 50s]
I want to do a M3 Stuart, M5 Stuart, Sherman, I have a Priest coming, and just got a M8,
I plan on doing a M3 Stuart with interior/exterior better tracks etc.
I also will be doing a bridge diorama with hunter/killer team under the bridge ready to kill a tank or half track…
etc [:D][:D][:D]
I’ve got at least 8 going on right now:
BARV
L6/40 Semovente
Famo
1/16 Tiger I
SU85
1/72 BergPanther
Sdkfz223
Faun
ive got
Panther A early (Dragon)
Jagdpanther late (Tamiya) needs tracks and painting
Sherman Firefly (Dragon) needs tracks
Stug III g (Tamiya) needs painting
Sd.Kfz 251/1(Tamiya) needs painting
Sd.Kfz 251/21(Tamiya) needs painting and some of the resin bits done
Sturmtiger (Tamiya) needs painting
Ostwind (a mix of kits) needs painting
there the ones i can see [V]
I’m doing good right now , only have 2 kits with glue on them. One is an auto build I am trying to get done by this weekend. It’s just not wanting to cooperate though and I have done some minor assembly on a Marder III. Of coarse with Hobby Lobby having another sale, there is no telling what I am going to wind up with if I manage to make it down there!
Lets see…
M4A3 (105) Sherman
M3 Stuart
M3A2 Halftrack (back dating)
Panther
M41 Walker Bulldog (finishing base)
CMP FGT/25 pdr
Hawker Typhoon

when am currently building a model, maybe an armor or aircraft… i visit hobby stores from time to time to buy what i need like extra paint or a new brush or thinner. that’s where i get tempted to buy a new model. i really love armor but the problem is i don’t have enough shelf space. but don’t worry guys…i’m still in the darkside. [8D]
Always a fair number being built and always tons of ideas in my head…!
let’s see…
panther G: futured, awaiting decals (tonight[:)]) and weathering[:)]
sherman firefly: got more after market bits than i’ve ever used before, but haven’t even started yet[V]
p-40 pearl harbour (wingy thingy[:p]): needs camo, and canopy masking etc
spitfire mk.I battle of britain: awaiting top side camo…
that’s way more than i can handle!![:)]
Panther G
Mobelwagon
Famo
Jagdpanther
Dragon wagon
105 Sherman
Stug III
Marder III
2 styer trucks
…yep that’s about it I think…
All in various stages of consturction and painting…
Peace
let’s see:
1/35 Tamiya Panther G nearing completion,
1/32 Hasegawa Me163 well along, but mostly shelved during the Panther group build.
1/35 Tamiya Pzkpfw IV-D well bbegun, but put aside for Panther group build.
1/35 Tamiya T35/85 barely started
(i needed something to glue while home for Christmas)
1/24 Tamiya CLK-GTR barely started and back in box
1/24 NASCAR awaiting paint & decals (since about 1996, i think !!)
so i guess i am always a few builds ‘behind’ !
ed.
You are definately not alone.
This is what’s on my bench at the moment:
- Tamiya 1/35 Panther G Early
- Dragon’s 1/35 Platformwagen Type SSY
- Revell’s 1/72 Panther A
- Academy’s 1/35 M36 Jackson
- Soon to be AVF Club’s 1/35 German Pak 43/41 (for the new group build)
All: Good thing we are all not assembly line workers huh … we would be bored the first hour! Great replies! , makes me feel better about my addiction ( ummmm hobby ) BTW just started ordering detail parts for my jagdtiger , gonna try that aber knock your head against the weall PE! This is a fun hobby , you always have some subject that you can do and if there is no parts for it , just make them yourself ( did any of you see Petbats interior of that panther he is doing , just incredible! And he scratchbuilds to boot !..Well maybe one day for me , I don’t have that skill yet !)…laterz , Shawn[8D]
This ought to make you all feel a bit better.
My ratio of unfinished to finished projects is around 6:1! [
]
Please don’t make me list them…
I am hoping to get back near even money by the end of the year!
Wish me luck…
I´ve currently got a Tiger E/H1 and 2 in the wings waiting to be built. I’m planning my ears off with the Tiger 1, because I got a stack of PE I intend using as much as possible of… I plan to do this one perfectly… I’m just wondering whether or not to take another step and get the fruilmodel tracks… decisions, decisions. It would make assembling the thing easier, because I’de just loop 'em round. The kit ones are link and length jobbies, y’see…
And you wonder how I sleep at night…
