Let me see...

Monogram P-47D bubbletop in 1/48;

Monogram Zero and SBD in 1/48, for that Monogram t'ing of ours (Godfather fans?  Anyone?  Anyone?);

Monogram and ICM P-51B's in 1/48, which were due for my club's December meeting;

Monogram Tom Daniel's Red Baron rod, for another online build;

Hobby Boss' 1/700 Arizona. 1941 version, which I'm converting to her sister, the Pennsylvania, in her state around 1935;

Hasegawa 1/700 Essex;

Aurora's SBC in 1/48;

Monogram TBD in 1/48;

Life-Like/Pyro Hawker Fury, in 1/48;

Lindberg's Curtiss F11C Goshawk in 1/48;

Aurora's Boeing F4B-4 in 1/48;

and a pair of Monogram P-36A's in 1/72;

and about 30 or 40 toy soldiers in 54mm, in various states of completion.

Short Attention Span modeling....

Normally just one at a time. There may be occasions when I am working on two....  if the "scene" includes two pieces I will sometimes start another prior to finishing the first.

Enjoy the ride!

This is my habit as well. I work on one until it gets to a point where it has to set and dry and there's nothing else I can do on it. That's usually when it's about 90% or more done and all the subassemblies are done.Or, if some finishing touch has to arrive in the mail. At that point I'll bust out the next thing in the queue and work on that until I can go back and finish off the other one.

About ten years ago I had about six things going at once and all of them had been in work for a long time. I got tired of not finishing anything so I worked at those orphans one at a time until they were all done. Since then, I've been on the one-at-a-time bandwagon.

I don't see anything wrong with having a bunch in work simultaneously if that's what you like. I think it's okay if you never finish one if that's your bag, paint cockpits and put 'em back in the box? Cool. Only ever open the kits up and fondle plastinc and never build anything? That's cool too.

It depends upon available space. I have enough space for 1 build at a time at present. As soon as I rethink my studio I'll have room for 3 or 4 but no more than 4 at a time.

1 partially due to space but mostly being a newbie I think that's all I should concentrate on at a time.

I have the best of intentions when I start a kit. I always have every intention of finishing the one I'm working on before I dig into the next one. Unfortunately, as with all good intentions, seldom do things ever go the way we imagine.

At the present time I have 14 different projects going on, all automotive. After going to a regional IPMS even this weekend, I can say for sure I will have at lest one more project started before sundown today. 

Check Six!!!
