Too many planes, not enough time

Hi Mark, I haven't been here that long either, but really enjoy it too. And, I really know what you mean about list of "things to do" as well. I am really trying not to buy another kit until the one I'm working on is done, but it is not so easy to do. Do you have a workbench? I used to, but since i moved here to california, I lost my basement! So now it's the kitchen table......arrrghhh.

what are you working on now? Myself, a Jug - what a brute!

take care

Mark,
I could'nt agree more-this site is great just like all the folks here. Your post caught my eye because I was just thinking the same thing. I got my own space to work in and way too many kits to build, just not enough time!
Oh well, only another 24 years until I retire..........................

i know the feeling. with the amount of kits i have and at my current build rate i will have to live till i'n about i'm about 175 years old!!! not that i will ever get that far. plus if i keep buying kits at the rate i do i would have to be immortal to finish them which means that i will probably live long enough to see the B52 go out of service LoL

Mark, I feel your pain it seems like I spend more time posting than I do building!! LOL

I usually utter those words when I'm standing in the LHS trying to decide what kit to buy...

with you there, kik36!!

LOL I come to this site while I am at work so my girlfriend can't put a time limit on this site. I too have an extensive collection of kits that need my attention and time. Right now I am currently working on 2 Panda F-35s, one Air Force and the other will be the Marine Corps version. Plus now I am still adding to my collection with Ebay.

Aren't you worried about getting fired surfing unauthorized sites? Damn you government contractor sucking up our hard earned tax dollar. Bet there's 100 leaches like you for every welfare queen in the inner city.

Okay, I'm being sarcastic if you can't tell.

I think I'm going to exploit some third world country and go to an orphanage and make the kids there build my models without compensation. LOL

I know what you mean. I have got into the practice of building by color (planes with the same interior/exterior colors, painting all the kits' metallics & tires together). This really speeds the construction time, and I load & clean the airbrush less frequently. Its only when it comes time to masking greenhouse canopies that things slow down. All of them receive Future, decals, washes & dullcoats at the same time.

If you have two of the same kits, give it a try. You may be able to expand your built collection at twice the rate.

HI Mark
I buy many kits nowaday , from webshop, cross country HS and so on. Long time ago when i buy i buy it when i have time to built . For now the problem is that i don have any LHS here and it seems kit ,like hasegawa , monogram don come by here at all. The kits i like to built when 10 years ago , i couldnt find it now shit. now wat i don once i got hold of the any brand of kits i like i just buy worry i may not get it later on. well wat to do

since ive joined this forum my wish list has grown by leaps and bounds. the money has not. oh well. i am also finding kits that i can rework in my closets. looking forward to many hours of reworking some of my older kits.
