I finished both projects I had going at almost exactly the same time tonight, (Trumpeters SA-2 Guideline Missle on transport trailer and Verlindens Jolly Roger) I took a few pictures which I will try to post here tomorrow. Now I am staring at my stash trying to decide what I want to build next, man, I hate these decisions!
So how do you guys decide which kit to start next when you are staring at your stashes?
What ever current build has sucked me in
the most interesting subject that i have on the shelf
I pick the one that I am most preparded for. Correct paint, enough refference materiel, AM parts etc. And if that fails, I open the boxes one by one and see which one screams Build Me Next![:o)]
I usually just go through my stash and open a few kits until I find something that I want to build. Unless I have just bought a new “must have” kit and want to start immediately building the kit, like the DML Tiger I.
I’m with matthew9 on this one.
Eny miny mo. catch a DML Tiger by it’s toe.
Oh! I just close my eyes, and reach into the pile. If I don’t like what I pickout, I close my eyes, and reach into the pile again. Usually by the third or forth try, I find something.[:)]
Semper Fi, mike
ive not aquired a sash yet so i build whatever i bought that day heh
I usually pick whatever is most unlike what I’ve just finished.

I made a “Order of Build” list that mixes up all my subjects so I’m overworking too many models of one type, starting at easier models and moving up to the one I want to build after gaining enough skills to do a good job on (currently my Tamiya Enzo Ferrari Giallo Modena kit, for a $51 kit I better do a good job on it!) Of course, my stash has around 15 kits in it, so it’s easy to make a list of.
For me it’s what Group Build is up next, since I’m sucked in until the fall at least.
This is kind of the way I like to build also, I have pretty much any subject in my stash, so in order to keep things interesting I will bounce from one subject to another.
sometimes an interesting group build… or if I have a long time consuming build, i’ll pick a simple kit next time… or i’ll switch from allies to axis… or vice versa… and sometimes throw in a wingy thing for a change… hmm do have some cars and trucks setting around… but they are so uncreative…or that got to do it kit… . got the 251 3 in 1 waiting for the halftrack group build…
There’s a half track group build?
A Decision has been reached!!
As I was rearranging my stash to accommodate the stack of recent aquisitions from HL’s half off sale, I got a chance to see everything I have in my inventory, there were several kits I considered for building and settled on Tamiya’s Nastro Azzuro Honda NSR 500, it’s a kit I picked up from HL’s clearance section a long time ago, I have never built a racing motorcycle before so it should be quite interesting, many years back I built a Harley Sportster, but nothing like this.
A study of the instructions gives me the impression that this kit may pose some unique challenges, it comes with some itty-bitty screws and little vinyl tubing for the cables and such, I can’t wait to get started so off I go!
I build whatever GB commitments are looming up on me! Yes I am very over committed.
Now you’ve done it…if there isn’t one, now there will be. [:)]
I was just thinking that the parts left over from my M3 75mm GMC could be used to backdate Tamiya’s M3A2 into an M3A1…

I might even jump in on a halftrack group build, it would be my first, I have several half tracks in stock.
