Are you sure?
How can you tell?
The biggest problem I have with modelling is deciding when the job is finally done. - How about you?

This is a good question!
For me, I will detail and weather a kit and then let it sit a few days. I will then go back and look at it. It sort of clears your mind. You can look at it in a different perspective, without having worked on it for a day or so.
Well, sometimes I will work on a kit until I simply can’t bear the thought of painting even one more detail. As with my ST:TNG Enterprise-D… all those “aztec” pattern panels and the hundreds of tiny windows, I simply decided that enough was enough. On to the decals!!
No… it is not yet finished until a new kit of the same model is available.
Its never done…it will always need dusting! LOL so youll be working on it forever LOL
When I can no longer stand looking at the next unbuilt one sitting neglected on the shelf.
[:)] completed and on to the next project [:P]
It’s pretty much done when I apply the last coat of clear flat and glue it on a base.

Heck, I still tinker on models I “finished” 10 years ago!
For better or worse…[;)]
Done? Finished? Wow, what a concept! [;)]
Only with armor, when I build a car or A/C I know when I am done and don’t feel compelled to mess with it ever. But the few armored pieces I have done I constantly mess with. A little more dry brushing here, try some pastels here, add a gas can… Armor never ends.
I am not familiar with the term finished or completed a model. [%-)] Is that something new? [swg] A new concept of model building? When did this start?
Finishing a model must be like achieving nervana-you go around in circles, fixing this and that, ocassionally mess up really bad and start over, and when it happens it’s oh-so-good[:D]
My models will be finished when you pry them from my cold dead fingers[xx(]
They could go on forever sometimes, but I’ve finally learned to recognize the point where I have to say, “This is as good as I’m gonna get it.”
