=) I got enough projects to last me atleast till june (atleast) lol I am working on about 4 dios and about 6 different models that arent for the dios + I am finishing up kits I never actually finished right now. I got all the kits i need for the dios cept one which I will b getting next visit to the model shop. I am trying to decide between a dio idea I got from the movie Stalingrad (German with English subtitels) or a halftrack dio that I have been planning since last august. If I do the halftrack dio, I gotta figure out a way to do Pea Pattern cammo. lol then I am gonna try to participate in that towed gun build. so I am happy, and to sum it up It will probably b an all year project instead of just till june. lol

hehe, I hope everything goes as planned. I just saw that Trumpeter will be releasing the Karl-Gerat (like Dragon's) but on a railway carrier. I've wanted to build one of these super-guns, so that'll be one I'll definitely pick up, and hopefully be done everything else in time to start it.

After that I want to finally build my USS constitution now that is going to take a while to complete lemme tell ya ! Like I said in my post in here ... always building 3 builds ahead ... and yes this is an addiction but not a self destructive one anyhow ! Big Smile [:D]

Have fun my fellow armourheads !!!!!! Cool [8D]

hehe, right on.
Maybe I'll get around to it this weekend. I think a couple of hours each night should be fine, giving me enough time afterwards to 'rest' before the GB

Good for you zokissima. I've exceeded the Panther Group Build deadline and now my goal is to finish before the next build. Motivation or what?

I have about a dozen or so kits lying around, left to build. I'm kind of a really picky builder, so I don't tend to stock up. That, plust I absoltely, without question, HATE starting something and not finishing it. So at times, I'll start a kit, won't finish, but REFUSE to start anything new.
Right now I'm in the middle of Italeri's M-925, which I have less than a month to finish before the M1A1 biuld. I absolutely have to finish, as I am realy looking forward to the build. Guess a couple of late nights are in store.

Ugh! I know how that is! Mine is the flu, and I'm losing the fight! Dead [xx(]

I pulled a muscle in my abdomen two days ago during a violent coughing fit and hurts like everything every time I cough. Black Eye [B)]

I enjoy visiting these Forums between my sleep times. Seeing everyone's posts are like visiting family! Wink [;)]

I came on to try and post pics of some of my earliest Armor, and to put up my third Factory Tour, but Ron's site is still down. I can't access my photos I uploaded earlier. Maybe later in the week.....

Until then, I can't wait to feel well enough to start building again!

Yep, this hobby is truly an addiction. I've got kits I forgotten I even have. I still have two KITT's from Knight Rider I haven't finished and a Delorean Time machine. All three I started before the armorbug bit. Haven't gotten back to them yet! I'm scratch building "turbine engines" for both the KITTs. One will be KITT and the other will be KARR. All three kits will have fibre optic lighting on the consoles!

I don't really stock up on kits. As of the moment I only have the Dragon M1A2, Italeri M-32, Dragon Sherman Firefly VC, a towed gun kit, and soon a 1/70 Mayflower ship. I am not building anything at the moment (just waiting for the start of the M1 and towed gun group builds) but with the coming of great new releases, I could say that I will be busy until the year end.

I have about twenty-five more Braille Scale armor pieces to build, and at least 40 more Aircraft and ships each; along with another twenty helicopters. Once I recover enough from this flu, I'll be back on the workbench banging these kits out.

I got an M1 and a Quad Tractor for the M1 and towed gun group builds. I'm building a two U.N. Hummers one a standard and the other a desert atro version not mention an Italery Dearert hummer with 3 more Hummers on the way in the mail. I'm building a U.N. Bradley and I have a Rover Ambulance which will also be done in UN colors. What Rover you building M1AbramsRules? Because I also have a Pink Panther and a Rover Abulance still on the shelf with a second "pinkie" i'm "experimenting with.
As far as sci fi build I have zoids Gojulas Giga [robot Tyranosaur] and several other mechs.

Now that the M-50 is done, I'm really going out on a limb with a sci-fi build of a scratchbuilt starfighter ....hmmmm where do I start? Oh.... and a Marines build of a V22 Osprey. I'm not sure about the Towed Gun thing....I'm just too slow at these things!

Regards, Dan

Have fun with the rest of the group build Chris and Eric. Once I finish my Sherman Calliope I will try something different. I will be kit bashing a German half track 251 with the left over Calliope parts from my Sherman. Domi posted a picture of it a while back and I going to try building it.

I have more than enough group builds and subjects to keep me plenty busy. Only problem is I can't seem to finish anything. I thought I would have had my last group build finished by now.

well, let's see
first I have to finish my M10, and then I have to do tamiya's me262 and gloster meteor by april 23. somewhere in there and after that I have the M1 build which I could be building a few for it, then I have a leopold on order at the LHS that I'm going to do sometime after. then I want to get a kubelwagen kit and use the chassis to scratchbuild one of the germans training tanks they used to perfect strategy before they had real tanks. (I'm really looking forward to that one) And I should be getting my PE for my Tamiya landrover fairly quickly so i'll have that to do. and whatever kit happens to strike my fancy at anytime.
other than that it'll be a fairly slow year!!! Wink [;)]
