How many are you building?

Currently i'm working on about 13 (though i'm not the best at building models I do still love doing it!)

Revell: Acura Integra Type R

99 Mustang Cobra

69 corvette Coupe

Impala SS

Amt/Ertl: 1995 Toyota Supra

1969 Ford Torino

Lost in Space Jupiter 2

Milennium Falcon

1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse

57 Flip Nose Corvette

Minicraft: RMS Titanic

Kitech: Enterprise Aircraft Carrier

German Battleship Bismarch

I find that two is usually all that I can handle. If I have more than that going I tend to get into the overload stage and have temporary burn out. I do try to have about five or six models on stand-by and I prioritize them by my particular interest at the moment. I am currently working on the USS Carl Vinson carrier and a Osprey so my interest is modern warfare at this time. Who knows what it may be next week????

Usually I try not to have more than 2 on the go at anyone time, but at the moment that really isn't working out.

Current build list:

Italeri 1/48 CR42                     98% complete
Revell 1/72 Fokker Dr.1          95% complete
Tamiya 1/35 Panther G            90% complete
Hasa 1/48 Me190G10              50% complete
Trump 1/35 KV2                      50% complete

As you can see I have a problem with finishing!

4 or 5 going at the same time is my norm.

Hase F-86F, eduard P-39, Academy P-26, Monogram P-47 and Minicraft 727 currently.

feeling rather ashamed to say this, but...  7.  Tamiya 1/12 KR500 GP bike, 1/12 NSR500, 1/35 T34/76(90%), 1/35 Kubelwagon diorama(60%). Dragon 1/35 M4A3 VVSS (2nd one for the year, 20%), 1/35 Panther G Command(10%), and Revell 1/24 F-2003GA(20%). I kept on starting new kits as my interest shifts around by the week.  Life is tough for a guy who likes a large range of models, and tough on the wallet, too.  The next one up is an Academy 1/48 F-15D...  I should really just stop going onto modeling related websites, too much inspirations.

Same here archangel, my mood changes all the time and i like a large range of aircraft/helicopters etc and when u see u really cool kit i need to have it, like u say it hurts the wallet. Seem to have a crazy thing for paints at the moment lol over some 200 tins

At the moment im building 3, 1/144 space shuttle, 1/72 f-18, 1/35 SAS pink panther.

1 aircraft, 2 ships, 3 race cars but if I look hard enough there will be several more race cars partially built back in the cupboard

Gee lets see i have a F-14 from monagran 1/48 thats toast, F-15 1/48 havent started i need acanopy for it, 1/350 USS Arizona that i have some of the PE stuff done but itson the back burner right now just about finshed with my A4J Skyraider by tamiya 1/48 ive got Flak 36 88mm from DML that iam gona start next and a nisson skyline gtr34 half done colecting dust. thats it so far oh i forgot 1/72 KC97 that has some real bad fit issues ian gona make a boneyard bird out of it.

Currently I have two going at the same time and that's pretty typical.  I once had three going at the same time and I won't repeat that mistake again.  Quality started to suffer.

Well for me only one can`t work on more than one, my way to do things step by step

I build one at a time. Quality really suffers if I split attention on more than one.

Great eizzle, glad my antics helped... but be warned...
I did that with my wife too, I'm a GM man and she picked out a bunch of pony cars. Now after about 5 it doesn't work anymore.

We're up to new curtains, living room furniture, yard furntiture, new clothes... you get the idea. But at least I still have my project car in the garage besides the models, oh yeah and my new tools every once and awhile. Like the new AB's & compressor she bought for us.

Thats a pretty good story J. I am going to have to start using that one when the old lady asks me why I bought another model. I tried something out last night, I told her I wanted her to go to the hobby store with me and pick one out she like, anything she wanted, and I would build it however she liked, that seemed to go over pretty good, so this might turn into a good thing!

Well, I'm just getting back into the hobby again after a long absence. My 10 year old son showed an interest and I figured it would be a fun father and son thing during those long winter months and hopefully prevent cabin fever too.

I used to work on one at a time. But I came up with a plan of action since I don't have the spray booth completely built yet. I built up a decent stash of our favorite 1:24th & 1:25th scale Muscle Cars and sprayed about 12 bodies ahead of time, most factory colors. Then when my son and I are bored or we don't have homework, we spend some time at the table painting and glueing.

We drove Mama crazy... we have boxes filled with models in the shed, in our bedrooms, in the back of my truck, just about everywhere I could stash them. Whenever we seen one we liked, we would drop it into the shopping cart. Mama would say - "Don't you guys have enough models already?" My son would say - "Nope, and if we don't get it now, next week it'll be gone." She'd look at me... and I'd say - "Honey, he's right... besides, I could always shop for the real thing and rebuild it in the garage."  We'd get the models hehe.

Presently:

All scratchbuilt: Curtiss C-46, Liore et Olivier H-43, Tupolev R-6 "Aircruiser", IMAM RO-41 and for a group build which ends on March 31 : DH-4 and Renault WW1 Tank.......I work on one for 3 or four days then continue with another.....eventually they all run out of the shop!!!!!..

The R-6, C-46 and H-43 should be out in January, so I am planning on starting:

DC-6, B-18 Bolo and SM-75...............

Wow, I admire that philosophy. Me:

Dragon Elefant (got new tracks, will finish early 2006)

Hasegawa Zero (looking for time, but want to complete next year)

Tamiya Panther G (in limbo, no rush)

Tamiya Universal Carrier (may trash)

Tamiya M1A1 (waiting after everything else)

I too lose focus and start other kits from desire and whatnot. Sometimes the kit stumps me (Elefant tracks) that it detours my building. I will finish it early next year though thanks to the tracks given by Stuart.

I only build one model at a time - start to finish. I did have 2 projects going at one point about a year ago, but one of those was a diorama. The model and figures for the diorama did not get started until my previous model was completed.

My list is pretty short

1/48 scale

Dragon - Ju88 & a 190

Eu - p-39

Tamiya - 190

Has - P-40

Wow! I just went and counted I have 11 going right now!!! Egads man! No wonder I can't get anything done! I have them anywhere from ready for decals, to just started painting the smaller parts! If I get burned out on one, I put it away and work on another one until I feel ready to get that one going again, that helps me from getting sloppy. I have 1 that is waiting on parts so I can finish the paint job, but I am getting this sneaking suspicion (SP?) that the order didn't get place, since the lady I talked to could barely speak english I am off to work on a model

I build one at a time. Generally speaking, even if I get bogged down, I'll just step away rather than starting another kit. Were I to do that, the unfinished ones would just remain that, indefinitely unfinished.

 

Having said that, at current time, and for the first time, I have two projects in the works. Both 1/35. Tamiya 2 1/2 ton truck and Academy M-18 Hellcat with a bunch of figures. They're for a dio, so I need both vehicles roughly completed for planing of the dio.

I build one at a time.

My modeling desk is too small to do more than one! I also like to keep my stash small, so I try to finish one before I get another kit. (although if I find a deal, that rule wont stop me)

i only do 2 or 3 at a time. i make it a point to finish one first before starting on the next. keeps them from piling up. but i just hate it when i get a new kit, i get so exited on building it while i have current builds to finish! Whew!

I usually have 7 to 9 going at one time.  I've sometimes had as many as fifteen at one time, and as low as five. I do eventually get them all done though; most are completed about a weekm or so after they've been started. I do have about three partially-built kits sitting from a year or more ago, but they will eventually get finished too. Right now, I have six 1/72 scale trucks I'm building for the Allied/Axis Truck Group Build on the LEM, as well as a 1/72 scale Tow Tractor that came with the Academy Ambulance Set, and a small 1/72 scale Model T Scout Car from WWI. I'll post pics a bit later showing my work.

Five right now all Gundam kits.

i work on 2-6 at a time

2-3 if they are diff. closer to 6 if they are the same

like  last yr i had 6 hazegawa zero's 1/72 scale did them all at once as an assembly line.

all step 1 all step 2 etc

bosshaus don't finish them put them closer together throw your spare parts on top of it all

you now have a junkyard diorama

3 builds, a MiG-3 1/48, Me-262 1/72 and and E-550 1/72. 3 is my maximum number of builds at the same time, else nothing would get finished.
