 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

A 90% complete Cyber hobby 1/32 Bf109E-4. It's been that way quite a while now. Less important stuff keeps getting in the way!

A Monogram 1/48 B-26 with a complete Edward PE set.

I wanted to learn to install PE is why i bought the complete set...HOOO BOY !  there's lots of it !!!! and I'm still attempting to install the first interior bag of it.  Got the pit done and traversing to the waist gun bays.  Sometimes I think I bit off more than I can chew but I;m hangin in there.  The parts bending is getting much easier and more enjoyable thru the experience though.  i found that using 2 sharp carpenter's wood chisels and a chisel- shaped xacto blade on a piece of glass in the bending process is working very well.

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

I'm also starting on the F-4G in 1/48 from Haseqawa.

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

Shoot. Waayyy too much. I've got a Monogram 1/48th F-100D that I'm building for the Monogram Mafia III Group Build. I just shot some paint on it tonight. I've also got the Academy 1/48th CH-53E that's being built for the USMC Group Build. A 1/48th Hasegawa A-7E and 1/48th Hasegawa F-18F are also sharing the bench, plus whatever I've got listed below........

All's I gotta say is you are the man! I just don't know how some modelers do it with multiple builds and my hat goes off to you that can. I tried to build my 56 F-100 and my Bf109G-6 at the same time and it just aint happenin' for me. I just can't seem to get my work to flow well with more than one on my bench. I've seen guys on here and other sites that have in the upwards of 8 projects going on at one time.Surprise

LOL, no, I ain't. But I was given it, and a 48th Monograme P-61, as a gift from a good friend on here a while back. I do like the look of the 61, so I felt it would be nice to do something a bit different.

But I don't know what's stranger, me having a PAO kit or me having a 1/48th kit. If the world stops spinning, I hope I don't get the blame.

Trying to wrap up on the Monogram A-6 Intruder for the USMC GB, just need to finish off on the ordnance and do some weathering. Make a base for the Pegasus Martian war machine for the Sci Fi GB.

Finish off a few GK figure sets. Pick out an A-4 kit from the stash for next month Skyhawk GB over at ARC.  I just ordered the Revell 1/32 JU-88 from Model Expo and might start on that when it comes in.

And I'm staring at 20 kits just in my hobby room and wondering if I'm ever going to get to them and all the kits in the other room?

Shooter, look forward to seeing what you do with that 88 when you build it. Are you getting the A-1 or A-4 kit.

I WISH I only had one build going! I have a problem of having TOO MANY going at the same time. Makes it hard for me to get anything finished. Right now, my goal is to finish what I've already started before starting another kit.............. BWAAHH HAH HAH HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I crack me up sometimes! Propeller

That will never happen, no matter how many times I say it, and promise it to myself.
