Roflmao!

I have a Constitution  on the bench, currently working on,  and another one just starting, plus a 1/350 scale 11320 Titanic (Minicraft) on the shelf over the work bench.

It's always a good idea to wait 24 hours after painting or gluing, and having another to work on while waiting breaks the monotony of just one plus it keeps you busy, which always sems to please the better half, as you are not in her "hair".

I have an n scale model RR and have always had several projects going at the same time. The down side is a cluttered bench, which can be a problem if you are as big a slob as I.

Good luck and enjoy!

I'd try not to let it get beyond two-three though. Or you end up like me with about twenty kits in various stages of completion and nothing ever finished... 

I typically do one at a time but with all this time on my hands, I have found myself with three going at once.

I don't know if that's a rule I would break. If you start multiple kits then you lose interest in the older ones and they get shelved for months. Only to return months later to disrupt another build you're trying to focus on.

 

A valid argument against the practice.  But I'm gonna live on the edge and try it anyway.

My biggest problem has been hurryitis. Too many times I haven't waited long enough for paint, glue, or filler to dry before hurrying on to what I think will be the next step, only to notice a fingerprint in not-quite-dry paint, parts that shifted after I thought the glue was dry but it wasn't, or holes/gaps where I tried to sand filler that was supposed to be dry......

I had that same problem is a kid, mainly due to wanting to get started on the next one!  I finally learned patience, and now, if I must wait, I can do so without driving myself bonkers!

Now, on the bench, I have an Academy 1/72 F-86F more or less ready for a skiff of primer its first coat of aluminum paint, and an Italeri 1/72 UH-34D helicopter, waiting for final detail on the instrument panel, the drilling of a couple of holes in the fuselage, attachment of the nose, and then a lot more of everything. As long I don't screw something up badly, or lose a part, I should always have one model or another to work on.

Way to go Rick! I always have at least 2 or 3 on the bench at one time. You always need something to work on while the glue and paint is curing.

Stay Safe.

Good on ya Rick.

I always have at least two on the bench at one time. I had seven at one point, finished all of them.
