remember this is just for fun, no model police will force you to be one or the other. as for myself i have to admit i am changing into a multi subject builder, and looking forward to increasing my abilities by increasing the variety of subjects.
[swg]hee hee hee…
i started & for a long time was strictly military and what corporate aircraft i could dig up…but, due to a LHS, ScaleFest of Dallas & meeting other plastiholics i’ve been influenced to look at other subject matter, which has improved my skills and broadened my horizons…i’ve a German half-track in planning…a figure or two completed…a few airliners in display cases (in storage) and what seems to be a lifelong helicopter in work…
God i love this hobby…[bow] now i just have to frequent a contest (show) or two for some more 3 dimensional inspiration…[:I]
neat poll Sean…
thanks[:D]
I am definatly a multi-subject builder. I started as a kid with aircraft (both Grandfathers were Air Force), then started building real space in teenage years (wanted to be an astronaut), started building helicopters when I joined the Army, then started ships after that. I have been dipping into the Darkside myself with 5 AFV’s under my belt now. I mainly do ships but am I still move back and forth when I need a change.
[%-)][banghead]whoops…i suffer (more freguently than earlier days) from foot in mouth syndrome…(too much Tenax fumes)…[8]
sorry joe and thanks for another neat poll…eeeeeeeekkkkk
I am mostly an aircraft modeler in the past but in the last few months I have been spending all my time on a diorama and will continue to do so for the next few months[^] After that probably back to aircraft as I have more than seventy unbuilt aircraft models[xx(] I do want to try some armor but I find it difficult spending hours and hours on a model and then cover it with mud[:p] Thanks for the poll[:D]
Since getting back into the hobby I have done mostly armor. But right now I also have a scratchbuilt firetrucks going, a plane soon to be going and a couple of armor going to. I am really just a confused modeler.
When I was younger - much, much younger - I built a lttle of everything. Ships, aircraft, and cars all adorned my bedroom dresser. Since getting back into modeling, I have only built armor (tanks, armored cars, guns) kits. However, I do have a few (about 10) non-armor kits laying around, but they haven’t been built yet.
Although I’m doing mostly armor these days, I consider myself to be a “multi-subject modeller.” Armor, aircraft (including helicopters and airships), automobiles, ships, science fiction, real space, resin and vinyl monster garage kits…I love 'em all!
Mostly Aircraft these days, with a figure painted once in a while. Have built some Armor in the past, but it’s been about 8 years since my last build. Picked up an Academy 1/35 Stuart kit recently & plan on building this Fall, Just to see what the newer Armor kits are like. But definitely AC is my first love.
I build aircraft and targets tanks and other military vehicles. I even have a few floating targets ships which I’d like to build. My general interests revolve around all of these things; but I am first and foremost an aircraft modeler.
Although I could see myself turning to the darkside more and more. I think that may ultimately be my modeling niche because I’m a bit better armor builder than I am an aircraft builder.
Besides, you don’t have to mask canopies on a tank. You armor guys got it EZ…
