I am very specific about my genre. I look at a kit. If it liiks like a cool subject, I'll build it. As a result, I've built models in just about every category.

I do autos, trucks(18 wheel),ships(past and present), armor, and aircraft. I feel that working in all areas enhances my skills. I do not limit myself to one scale in each catagory either. I will say that my aircraft collection is larger than the others.

I tend to stick with cars. Hey, I'm the Enzo_Man. I do cars from the Model-T to, well, the Enzo Ferrari. But I have been known to build Bandai LM-HG kits. I have the entire Evangelion LM-HG line. I have several of those Gundam models and other sci-fi/anime kits. I have done a couple ship in my days. Oh, and I like to build thes kits by, I think SkillCraft, the Visible Man and Woman, the Visible Dog, Horse, and Cow. They even have a Visible Trout! I have it mounted on my wall like a trophie.
Aerodynamics is for people who can't build engines.

Started out with jets, went to helicopters, started building Nascars because my brother got interested and these made cheap gifts with the constuction time for myself), then built armour and have bought a LEE kit of the Musachi battleship that someday I will build. I'm the type that will build a jet plane one day and an ancient roman figure the next. I will spend 2-4 months on an armour kit and will buy a cheap kit of something that catches my eye to build quick just to break up the thinking/planing etc.

I build anything I want to. Mostly in 1/72 right now, but a couple in 1/48. Mostly aircraft, and most of those with props on the front, but a few tanks and a couple of cars have snuck in there too. Wink [;)]

I had a pretty good collection on 1/9 Protar motorcycles until my mom...gasp...oh, the horror...

She threw them away.

*gasping, clutching my chest* the medication helps...most of the time...

yo copterguy........um........i always thought i'd only build fast jets of the private/corporate nature......'cept when i discovered that there was only about 5 kits ever built....i wandered towards military.......predominately the "Scooter" (A4 + all variants) Skyhawk..........i think the Blue Angels flew their best in that aircraft..............then i guess i kinda then wandered into history and the CBI theatre (early 40's) and was hooked.......with plenty of subject matter and tons of research to occupy my interest i thought i'd found my modeling home..........then i discovered the UH-60 in 1/48 and decided to convert a revell kit to the VH-60N.......[:0].........holy ca ca......it's about a 5 year project (approx. 200ish hrs. so far) and i've yet to put the first coat of paint on it......Blush [:I]..........then i discovered the SF3D Ma.K3000 armoured fighting suits and ........well..........it goes on and on.....Approve [^]..
i think when a modeler is finished it's almost a disappointment, though a satisfying one.......because "we" tend to start so many different projects in order to always have one big neverending (neurotic) lol..............project that modeling seems to be.
@ 6 months to a year to complete a kit....my 277 kits assures me of at least a life span of a further 250 years......and i've not even started some of the armour and car kits in the collection.
um.......oh yeah.....did i answer your question ?..........lol
i love the hobby and everything it encompasses!Wink [;)]
