I know its early in the season to do this but every one does this We make a goal for a model and then don’t do it. My current main project turned four this week. It would set on a 4x6 index card and I keep putting it off. Here’s my proposal:
We keep after one another and actually do it. We put one or however many up and then report back periodically on them. Maybe as a group those excuses like “I can’t find…” and whatnot will disappear.
Here’s mine: I will finish my 54mm Vietnam Dog Handler dio.
I’m even itemizing a checklist
BASE
Get a placard
Dust cover(forgot)
DOG
Finish collar and leash
Dullcote
HANDELER
Finish painting uniform
Attach hand
Paint arms
Make webgear straps
Paint grenades
Attach head
MISC.
Make sling for M16
Arrange everything
Since I started this I’d best come though.
That is all done by 1-1-05 at the latest.
That’s quite an itemized list. My goal in no particular order, because it could change day to day, is meet the goal of Feb.1 for the Panther group build.
My goal right now is to actually build a model! I have been on a toddler-enforced break from the hobby for quite some time and it is time to get back into it.
I think I’ll start with something small like my Revell 1/72 M2A2 Bradley. Should be a fun little reintroduction to modeling.
Eric-yeah It’s itemized a little too much but if you do that from the begining seeing all the stuff crossed off is nice. How is that panther G going?
Mark- There’s a lot of detailing options for the Bradley. I like 1/72 armor. I’ve got the Airfix Buffalo and the Academy Ground vehicle set. one of these days I’ll get to them. Model Expo has onsale like 5 1/72 armor kits I’m eyeing: a Sherman, a Churchill, a Tiger, an AMX 30/105, and a Somua-$2.68 a piece! Build what have, build what have,…
I only have 16 kits started[:D]
Im hoping to start on my 1/20th Tamiya Williams BMW F1 kit on 12-19-03 and have it done by the time Diane goes back to work on the 26th of December.
Heather Diane and I are hoping to have our VW Bugs wrapped up by the 1st of January. Heather,Diane and I have a lot of building time planned while they are home on Vacation…Diane returns to work on the 26th for a short shift…and Heather doesnt go back to school until the 12th of January once she’s let out on the 19th of December…
Im not sure if this fits in here, but my resolution is to “NOT” buy any kits for myself next year, “at all”. (Not inlcuding detail sets and such) Im doing this because , I have sooo many unbuilt kits that I keep saying “Im gonna start on that one next…” and I never do. I just hope nobody comes out with something really unique and irresistable, cause I dont wanna cave ! [%-)]
Hey, is that Vietnam Dog Handler dio done yet? I’m checking back tomorrow if it’s not. [;)]
My goal is to assemble an army and conquer the world. [:)]
Well, maybe the conquer the world part will have to be put off for the next year, but I’m serious about the army. My goal is to complete my Lizardmen Army (Warhammer Fantasy) by the end of 2004. It’s by no means a small feat. I have over 180 figures (Skinks and Saurus), a Slann Mage priest, a Stegadon and Tichi Huichi’s Raiders. I have figures at different stages of completion but I need to dig in and complete them all. For anyone wondering what these are, you can see pictures of the different Lizardmen miniatures on the GW site.
Hey David, My goal is very similar: to finish my Dwarf and Khemri fantasy armies and my space marine and Imperial guard 40K armies. More specifically, I need to finish my Tallarn Desert Rough Riders in time for Golden Demon in June as well as my mobile “stage” of Noise Marines built on a Land Raider. REAL heavy Metal
Thanks for asking Cassibill, our group build started today. I had a near disaster, but am pacing self to do a good job. Check our group build thread if you’d like.
Sweet!! Have you entered the competition in the past? Personally, I’ve never been to one, but seen the pictures in White Dwarf and on the GW site. Very impressive stuff!
My goal is to finish this Academy M10 that’s going into a dio of Audie Murphy’s Medal of Honor feat. The M10 for the most part is done. I just need to paint the .50cal, add accessories, and finish weathering.
Then the base which is a whole other project all together. I’m hopping to have the M10 complete by the end Feb. Then I’ll start on the base.
Courtney, are you one of those people who has a real short attention span? Do you have to list everything you do to that detail or do you just have a bad memory like me?? [;)] [:D]
We’ll keep after you if you like and have you post a progress report once a week. That way we can give you a spankin an extra assignment if you fall behind. [:-,] [;)] [:D]
My goal, which I achieved this year, is to build one model a month and then to also build the equivalent number I purchase on top of the one per month. This way I should always see my unbuilt stock declining. So this year (so far) I’ve bought 4 kits and am just about to complete my 14th so I’m only 2 behind.
I’ll never resolve not to buy any more models! Sure, I’m probably getting ahead of myself in the kits bought/kits built ratio, but heck, that’s half the fun for me!
I will resolve to post less and build more. though!
