I've got huge stash of kits (my wife -when we moved in together - "ANOTHER box of models?").

I look at a build someone has posted and think "I've got that one, I'm building one of those next", then look at the next post "that's a nice paint scheme, I need to try that one next", and so on it goes.......

It is wonderful for inspiration tho!

The hardest discipline to master is keeping to one project, pacing yourself throughout the project until completion. Unfortunately, even after nearly forty years of modeling I haven't yet mastered that part of it yet. Getting better though...though my inprogress pile doesn't reflect that statement too well.Wink [;)]

My problem is that i only do one kit at a time..Religeously. The problem is a i rush the little bits at the end so i can start the next one. Invariably theres a goof somewhere along the line LOL.

Guy, I know what you mean.

I do try and finish everything before I start the next build.

Mostly......

 i try to build one at a time but my desk is cluttered with at least three builds ata time,i also speed along some of the mundane or simple construction areas only to place a finger(or thumb)print from liquid cement in an obtrusive place which generally migrates across the model to rest in the exact place i need a flawless finish under the paint.i've come to think of it as my trademark and sometime challenge a friend to "find waldo".enjoy the hobby and build for your pleasure.Smile [:)]

we're modelers it's what we do
