but Yann don’t you feel (just a little) more pressure or (just a litlle )more stress because of the amount of pcs, to do a better job on it than a model with just 88 pcs
I have to admit I’m still new enough to modelling that every time I open a kit box I have to take a few deep breaths and wonder if it’ll end up just gathering dust! My strategy seems to be to open the “next” kit while I’ve still got a few days/weeks work on the current one. The kit gets opened, the sprues examined, the instructions read, the paints identified and any “interesting” areas closely examined. Then the sprues get individually poly-bagged and pinned to the corkboard above my work area, the instructions get left lying around and picked up at different times, the web gets searched for kit and build reviews. By the time I’ve cleared the current kit off the work bench the “next” kit is like an old friend. (some of them are still the kind of old friend that you might not want to have come and stay for too long, but at least by then I know how to handle them!) Enjoy.
I don’t think there are any kits which scare me, but I do find myself getting bored with builds that take too long.
I’m just to fickle, always on the look out for that next project, before I’ve finished the current one, or the one before that!
I’ve ended switching to small projects, currently Airfix’s 1/72 Fw 190D, all of 30 pieces, and Tamiya’s 1/48 Beetle, not many more! I’ve been working on both for a week, and they are approaching the 50% complete mark, and I haven’t lost interest!
I built Trumpeter’s KV2 earlier in the year, and this has to be one of the best armour kits I’ve built, fast build, no need for loads of expensive AM goodies, and it was on the shelf in under two weeks!
BTW if you want to fit the link & length tracks after fitting the fenders, just leave the retutn rollers loose, and you can feed the parts in.

The one I’m about to start. Scared I won’t be able to make it look right!

I can’t say that I have heard of them, but, being from Indiana, I don’t get all that excited about the 500 like others do. To most around here its just a week you want to avoid the west side of Indy cause of the traffic. I will say you are most likely right, I am young and enjoy hanging out with my fiance, I’m sure in ten years its will be more like I enjoy spending time by myself, but I have to spend time with her [:D] Oh jeez, don’t tell her I said that, she will hurt me…
I have a Classic Airframes HE-51 and a Smer Mig-17 with too many PE parts that I can’t do
Ihave been wanting to build these forever. Maybe someday I’ll get the courage too try .
