No More Excuses GB....end date extended

[wyoroy]

Renovations have been part of my excuse for unfinished kits but my real problem is that I’m addicted to GB’s. In the past I’ve overcommitted to Gb’s that I had no realistic chance of finishing. I would get a build partially finished, miss the deadline and then think oh well, on to the next GB. [:I]

Is this where I say my name is Dave and I’m addicited to Styrene?

I would have to say that a lot of us have the same problem. Heck, I have missed the deadline and never even started the build[D)]

Welcome to our newest member, GA.modelmaker[#toast] We all seem to suffer from the same problem[(-D]

[(-D] I have the same problem Dave! But I don’t think we’re alone!

Summit - Those are some nice looking unfinished builds you’ve got there, but the thing that stands out to me is…your paint rack!! I love it!![tup]

[Azgaron]

I have a few that I could join with, but perhaps I should join with one at the time!
An Airfix 1/72 RA-5C Vigilante is what I’ll start with!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Graham,

Best advice I can give is try and plan what you will do ahead of time and just take it one sub assembly at a time. It seems to help me a little if I just take baby steps on a build. I personally love doing 'pits. It’s after those are done and the fusalage assembled and wings attached that I seem to hit the wall. Even if it’s just painting parts still on the sprue like attenas, machine guns, landing gear, etc At least you are getting something done and even if they sit like that for awhile, you won’t be getting stymied by all those little parts that we all put off doing towards the end of a build(I have learned this the hard way…) I can go on and on but I think you get the point. Also, if I’m justnot “feeling it” that night, I find something else to do.

Regards,

Jeff

Thanks for the tips. Yup! Gotta love cockpits! I hate filling, sanding, and the cleaning up stuff. Just a quick question, should I put pics on here when the thing is done? Or should I, “WIP” it? Thanks much!

Azgaron & Swedish Mick, Welcome to the No More Excuses GB[#toast] Great to have you guys.

Remember everyone the GB starts 15 Dec, this Monday. Unless I we find an excuse not to start that day[(-D] If you start before the date[%-)]why?

Hey Roy, I just realized that I started my Morris Quad and 25 pdr earlier this year so it doesn’t qualify. Could you take it off the list please.

Also, I just remembered that I have another build that has been in the box since the mid eighties. I’ll have to see if I still have it when I get home later. [:-,][8-]

[wyoroy]

Graham, WIP pics are more than welcome. In fact most of use enjoy seeing them. Most of all lets post the end photo and I’ll try and post them to the front page[:D]

Like we say in my other hobby, “Relax and have a home brew”

Dave, if it’s close to a year I’m willing to let it in. PLus I want to see what it looks like[;)] finished that is.

Why - because I want to get them done and on the shelf.

[(-D] good point. I’m still trying to finish my Weekend GB[8-]

So, true the spirit of the build we still don’t have a GB badge. Should we/I fix that soon?

I can try to create something Roy but it won’t be until tomorrow night at the earliest. I like the pile of plastic at the feet of the Rodin idea.

[wyoroy]

That would be sweet, by all means.

BTW havwe you noticed that I have not added the Weekend build to my badge? Darson did it for me because I lack that skill set. Since he has not been around for some time…

[wyoroy]

OK, I’m off to try and do some work on my Weekend GB P-40[:D]

Alright ~ alright, sheese you guys…[(-D] Roy you can scratch the Heinkel HE-11 and P40 B off the list as they are pretty much done. And beings the Official start date is not here yet…

Dave - that HE -111 is the old MPC Profile Series kit… Not the greatest kit - but not a bad representation for the era it was manufactured

Besides if I was not working on these Shelf Sallies I would most likely crack open another kit… [:-,]
