New Years resolutions for modelers?

Posted by nicodemus on Wednesday, January 14, 2004 11:15 PM

Any new years resolutions out there?
This is the year I'm going to finish that.............
I will only work on WWII fighters/bombers this year.........
I will concentrate on WWI biplanes this year..............
this is the year I am going to buy that.........
You get the idea, any suggestions?

[img=right]http://www.ryanahern.net/The_Fleet/DauntlessUnder.jpg[/img=right] Loose 20 lbs. on Atkins again to get down to 175. Only took one month to achieve last time I tried it. Problem was that month was November. As soon as Thanksgiving came around it was hopless. Only gained 15 of it back though. Shouldn't be hard now with Friday's and Subway catering to my needs.

Current and Subsequent Projects:
1/48 scale Tamiya P-47 "Razorback" - Complete
1/48 scale Testors/Lone Star Models PT-22 Recruit - 20% Complete
1/48 scale Monogram C-47 Skytrain - Not Started

My big resolution is to make a dedicated modeling space in the house that my wife and I just bought. I spend entirely too much time setting things up to work on the model, and then taking things back down when I'm done.

Lufbery I know exactly what you mean, it seems like I spend more time setting up and tearing down than modeling.

I've resolved to take my time and really enjoy the whole building process. Pay attention to detail and use what I've learned and strive to learn more.

Over and out.
