How many projects do you have going on at once?

    I thought I was the only modeler who has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) by having two projects at once. I was working on my La Renommee project, but decided to finish constructution of the British East Indiaman, Falmouth, kit that my wife gave me several Christmas ago. She is miffed that I did not complete her gift, so to appease her, I will continue that model. (You married guys, you know that that goes to keep the household peace. Men and dogs usually obey, while women and cats eventually have their way!)

        Montani semper liberi !  Happy modeling to all and every one of you.

Currently?

About 2 dozen 1/6 and 1/8 scale figures (Garage Kits), 2 1/72 PBY-5A's (for the Group build), 1/96(?) scale Scott Brodeen Disney Nautilus.

Accept for the 2 PBY's that I am doing regular work on all the others get worked on a little at a time sometimes in groups.

For the figures I grab a few to work on while others are having seams filled or primer drying.

Since they are all female figures I'm trying to get them clean and smooth as possible. 

Eric... 

One, two or four, depending on how you total it up. My current effort is all one "project," but consists of the following parts:

• Haskell-class AKA, mostly done except for masts, rigging, flags and cargo boom rigging;
• 110-foot SC, done except for crew figures;
• 80-foot fishing trawler, done;
• dockyard base to hold everything, mostly done except for figures and little details like coils of rope, touch up flat clear, and whatever else I can think to add to it.

Glad to see I'm not alone in having too much too do!  I've lost count of the things I have on the go and it's always been the same with me.  I think I've got too many interests which can be a bit of a problem.  Here's a few things I'm doing at various stages

Pyro Santa Catarina

Hasegawa 1/32 Frank

Hasegawa 1/32 Thunderbolt

Dragon T-34/76 STZ

Dragon 1/35 JagdTiger

Revell 1/400 Red October sub

Hasegawa 1/48 Mitsubishi Raiden

Tamiya 1/35 German infantry French campaign

And the list goes on and on as I'm finishing (or trying to finish off) many other projects.  Never seems to be enough time! 

ADD? I guess that is an accurate description! I have the following working:

Le Soleil Royal

HMS Pandora (Constructo kit)

La Stella (Heller)

HMS Victory (Aeropiccola)

Kirishima (1/700 scale Hasegawa)

Kirsk (1/350 scale by Zvesda)

USS Missouri conversion to USS Iowa (Tamiya 1/350 scale)

Strasbourg (Heller)

   Bill Morrison

Right now I've 5 projects

Chebec

USS Constitution Half-Hull (You will have to wait for the pictures)

Special Cutty Sark Project - ONLY John Tilley knows, nah, nah

A customer Dauntless Bomber in 1/48th.

Same customers - A P-61 Black Widow in 1/48th.

i always have 2-3  projects going at once

although 1 of the projects always involves 2-5 models

example if i am working on a me 109  i work on 2-5 at once  like an assembly line

Shipwreck,

Sorry to hear of your loss. I honor your father and appreciate all he did for us. Your glider model will be a special way to remember him. Go Airborne!

Over the years I have ALWAYS had way too many kits in progress at any given moment.  I probably have 75-100 started-to-nearly finished kits either on the "in work" shelf, or put back into boxes into the stash.  (Good luck to the sucker who gets my stash when I croak.)  Right now, though, I am still on a good-behavior kick, lasting since the New Year Resolution to finish some "in work" kits.

So at this moment, I am SERIUSLY working on:

Loose Cannon 1/700 USNS  Hayes (started fresh as a reward when I finally finished that USS Navarro from the Montrose kit for my veteran friend, after a 13 month effort)  I'm starting to dread painting a white ship.

AMT 1/25 Pontiac Country Time stock car, started in 1992, I think.  Was 90% and I got beaten by the need for replacing the grill opening surrounding pieces.  I think I finished those last night.

Skywave 1/700 USS Independence CVL 22, started in early 90's, when the kit first came out.  Just ran out of steam and lot interest.  It was at the 30% mark.  Since then, GMM photo etch has been produced and that should be fun.

Skywave 1/700 DE.  Same as the CVL, except it was 80% done, without photoetch.  I will have to backtrack a bit.  This will be practice for the Ms32 camouflage for the CVL.

AND NOTHING ELSE UNTIL ONE OF THOSE IS FINISHED, dadburni it!

I try not to have more than two at any one time. As we all know sometimes there is a down time while waiting for paint to cure etc, so only as I get to 90% done on the main build I may start the preliminary things for the next.

I had started the Revell VIIC interiors from CMK and was so frustrated thet I put them away and built the Herman Marwede. That is 98 % done so I opened up the VIIC stuff and its going surprisingly easier this time. Some builds you just need to lay off for a while.

 I had started the SS US and removed all the fake plastic rails, lots of bull work and sanding, so thats something I might do while heavily into another build, if I need a break from fine detail work.

I never really have two full build going, and haven't for 30 years of doing this.

Stuff on my workbench that I'm actively working on:

• Mini-Mamoli wooden La Goleta schooner with the rigging 3/4 finished.
• Revell 1:196 Constitution, working on the hull and deck
• Revell 1:48 F/A-18C Hornet with a Eduard cockpit photoetch set
• AMT 2000 Corvette convertible

Hope to get the La Goleta finished in the next week or so, then concentrate in the Constitution.  The Hornet is mostly for a change of pace and stress relief.

Always have a few to avoid ruts or bypass my inability to paint at times due to weather (spray booth in unheated attached garage).

Revell Star Wars Star Destroyer (My son's)

Revell Star Wars At-At (My son's)

Revell P-61 (My son's) about 25% complete. My son is most interested in just seeing the kit done, he doesn't even care if they're painted. Though I care so it happens :-)

Revell Panther bridge layer (My son's)

My son picks kits for himself and he helps me by cutting parts off the sprues and applying glue.
