the doog

None, and none.

 

 I build alone....yeaaaahhhh with nobody else.... Big Smile

 

Now I'm gonna hafta play that song in the background while I build, Doog. Already got it stuck in my head!

And, I want to thank you for something that you did for my grandson last year:

I was the guy that stopped you at the vendors tables at the IPMS Nationals in Columbia, SC, last year and introduced my grandson to you. But, stupid me forgot to tell you who I was! I think all I said was that I lived in Charlotte, too, like that would've told you who I was. Duhhhh!! But, anyways, thanks for taking a minute to talk to my grandson. He was visiting us for the summer from Seattle, WA, and has autism, so he's usually very timid around strangers, but he seemed to be at ease while you talked to him. Thanks for doing that. It meant a lot. Yes Cool

Saw George many times over the years,just a couple of years ago in NJ at a very small venue,and he was still rocking it at around 65 yrs old.The funny thing was that I observed that most of us had to put on our glasses at the start of the show.The old rockers are really getting old.

I didnt finish the "Military Veterans' GB of some years ago. My Series 3 Land Rover and GS trailer still silently mock me from the shelf with just a coat of primer. Likewise the "Who needs Wings" Glider GB. The Zwilling towing a Gigant was a bigger project than I anticipated. It sits at about 75% done. A cardinal sin on my part as I started that GB.

Sorry to hear about that, Wirraway. That combination is something I would love to see, though. Maybe you'll get it completed one of these days.

Gary, it was a pleasure to meet you and your grandson. :) I hope that he had a great time at the show, and I'm glad that I may have made him feel comfortable. Usually, I imagine that people feel uncomfortable or nervous around me. Tongue Tied

I'm like stik and tiger, usually have a kit on hand, get wound up to join, then get bored with it and it sits.  Did manage to complete two though, in 3-4 others now, and got to try and get back to them.  Too many irons burning to spend much time with them in addition to motivation.

To answer the first question:  Too many.

To answer the second:  Too few.

I don't join group builds anymore, at least, I won't until I finish more of the backlog I've created.

At last count it was around 40, but I don't count or collect badges anymore, I just like to build along with others.

I've finished them all as far as I can remember. There may be one or two that I signed up as TBD that I never got around to but if I commit to one with a determined build I finished them so far.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.
