How many?

Since my building area is a tiny part of the kitchen table, and the storage area is the top of the adjacent bookcase, only one "project" at a time ... but in this case the project includes (all in 1/700) a Haskell-class AKA, 110-foot subchaser and fishing trawler; and the companion dock with all its buildings, railroad tracks and cars, trucks, people, etc. All fitting in a 9x4 Imex case (I have a cat, enough said). Sooooooooooooo ... one project but in reality at least seven separate models if include just the major pieces - ships, buildings and dock.

Only on kit at a time,no matter what it is...........for me it's a hobby, not a production line,I stick with one kit till it's either done or once in a while in the garbage,then I start the next.Not saying anybody's wrong,just the way I do it.

 

 Well...hmmm. I have only to put the anchors and chains, screws and shafts on my N. Carolina, as well as paint,  but she is basically done, but not really...so..
 I also have my 1944 Missourri started. So technically, two.

 Both 1/350th by the way. I can't afford anything new and I don't really have a stash, so I am taking my time.

Hi All,  I usually have a few " projects " going at a time not all are ships but currently working on a Dragon USS Spruance, and a Modelcraft OH Perry class done up as the "Rueben James" these are in 1/350. on the shelf waiting to be built are the following AHM's Uss Canberra, Uss Long Beach, SS Hope, Uss Mission Capistrano....I dont know the scale though....I also have two Panda models of the USS Cole an Arleigh Burke class destroyer  in 1/350....and last but not least a Revell 1/720 "Graf Zepplin" german Aircraft carrier.....Gary P

Due to space limitations I only do one at a time. On the bench: Midship Models  U.S.S. Cleveland being modified as U.S.S. Dayton CL105.

at the momment...

old revell PT boat

Dragon 1:350 USS Kidd

old monogram Nimitz

 

and couple RUFEs 1:48 seaplanes

I stop for various reasons, mostly technical (need X or Y tool/paint, have to research how to do A, B).

I also build for relaxation; if a current build needs some complex scratchbuild something and Im not in the mood,Ill just wash some sprues or sand something else.

 

At least!  I guess I am something of a 'model ship whore,' as I have a huge stockpile of ship (and WW1 aircraft!) models in various states of build (and once in a while, I actually FINISH one!).  Sometimes I wish I had more discipline in this area, but actually, I'm not really that fussed about finishing these kits, as I primarily use the kits for 'compare and contrast' on ship designs, and once a kit is 'finished,' there really isn't much more you can do with it besides put it on the shelf.......  I also have several kits on hand that I uses to test painting techniques, assembly techniques, gluing techniques, etc.  These are generally low-quality kits that I have had batting around for a long time that I don't mind screwing up (you don't want to 'experiment' too much on a kit costing up to $200!!), and these will most likely never be 'finished.'
