How many models do you have going at once.....

I like doing one at a time. Keeps me focus Plus I don't have alot of space.

Two sci-fi spaceships ready for final gloss, two German and one American armored cars ready for paint, one American armored car almost done and one Ford Tri-motor almost done for a total of 7. Get bored sometimes and need to switch projects or work on one while the other dries(paint, putty and glue)

helicopters don't fly, the beat the air into submission

just an update... working on one model is kinda refreshing for me... just started a SBD and it's kind of fun waiting and anticipating the next step... I think I got ahead of myself with the multiple builds...

one at a time suits me fine for now!!!

4 cars, 1 boat, 1 aircraft

27 currently

- One at a time for me. I build 1/32 aircraft so there is always something to work on while the paint dries. I think my last 3 kits (Trumpeter F-105G, Tamiya F-4E, Trumpeter A-10A (on the bench)) had in the vicinity of 400 pieces plus some aftermarket stuff.

I'm pretty much a start to finish type myself, so unless I cant find a specific paint color or something, never more than 1 or 2. although, if that happens I usually just box it and start and finish another one in the meantime. so lets say one.

One at a time, all the time. Start to finish for me.

At this moment I have three going

Thad

I normally have 2 going at the same time, sometimes three but rarely. Anymore than that and I loose focus and on top of that I barely get enough time or have enough space to do 2. Though right now I am only working on one.

I try and keep to 2 or 3.

Anymore than that and I start to lose focus, any less and I bog down waiting for paint/glue to dry, and end up doing something stupid!

I'm also trying to do more research prior to each build, which now means the average build time is around 2 - 3 months.

Current builds are below.

Karl

Usually between 7 and 9 at a time. Most are small scale Armor, but I have one ship also going now.

ive got a helldiver, and two hurricanes in 1/72 that ive had wait for a while, cuz i ran into some problems and set 'um aside.

-----------------------edit--------------------------

generally though, i try to work on only one at a time. its getting too messy round here...

although i may start more, generally i build one at a time. right now i have two in the works. they are at the same level and are progressing well.

joe

now... thankfully ONE! well one and a half... I decided to put the others aside and concentrate on one I am building for my dad...

the half is a 1/7 F6F Hellcat.... just doing it for fun for something to do in between parts drying...

Right now, only two. A Tamiya MiG-15 and the new DML 1/72 M2A2 ODS Bradley. As for ones started and shelved, haven't checked lately

Right now, I have 3 1/2 on the go. Started a brummbar, quad tractor w/ 25 pdr, sas jeep and have 2 diorama bases in the works along with assorted buildings, figures and other accessories. On top of this, Im moving next week so I have to pack it all up for a couple of weeks.

Actually, for me it's a question of sanity more than perseverance. Prior to starting a build, I will set up a file on my computer and set up a section of shelving to organize electronic and hardcopy reference material. I'll typically spend at least a week researching the subject before I ever dig into the box.

Then, I'll look at the decals provided, the details on the vehicle molding, the optional parts available (if any), and start to whittle down "exactly" what vehicle I'm going to build. I'll jot down an outline of the things that need to be done (modifications, scratch-built parts, critical steps, etc.) and double check all my research before beginning.

Once started, I will frequently have to go back to reference photos or text to make sure I'm on the right track. So you can begin to see why I only build one kit at a time. There is just no way that I could do all this and keep the information straight for multiple builds at a time. There would be far too many chances of making bad mistakes and my sanity could very well suffer in the mean time.

At the moment 7 (2 are the same kit)

.......used to be 1 at a time......start to finish, not unlike Foster (Job)......but, i fell off the wagon and average 3 simultaneously........with maybe one finished every 6 months.......

I have 5 right now, one king tiger (porshe turret), two m4's and two jagdpanthers

7

Usually never more than five on the go at a shot and one is usually a hypothetical project and those take even longer than normal builds.

I like to keep enough going so that there will always be something at the bench to go to but not so much that I spread myself too thin amoung the projects and they all suffer for it.

I am always working on a single project at a time. I have a hard enough time fining time to do even that one, never mind any more than that.

Wow, Foster! You must have the patience of Job! Perseverance is a most admirable quality.

Thus far, through 10 builds, it's been one at a time...start to finish.

I generally focus on one at a time, but ocassionally (like right now) I need to distract myself a little. My P-61is driving me a little buggy for reasons I can't quite figure out, so I'm playing around with a cheap, simple BMP2 that has been sitting on my shelf for years.

Three or four. Generally two planes and a ship.
