What's on your "Shelf of Doom"?

Hello ;

 Are you a Garfield fan ? I like your Avatar .     T.B.

 

Yup, TB, been a Garfield fan near on 30 years. The F-4C on my SOD is going to be a Michigan ANG F-4C serial #63-483 with the Garfield nose art by Bare Metal. 

I just relegate my 1/48 HSG. F-86 to the dreaded shelf of doom. 

During the THIRD re-painting of the black base coat ,prior to Alclad NMF, I forgot to cap the color cup and a large blob of paint dropped on the port wing ruining the paint job.  ENOUGH !   Maybe I'll get back to it someday but for now it's time to model something else.

Wow,I just don't start more then one kit at a time,I'll stick with one till it's done,so really no shelf of doom.

 

If you mean stash of kits unstarted,I probably have between 30-40

 

 I'm with you. I am currently building a Dragon M4A3 Sherman (ETO) and only have two other kits unopened and waiting. I try not to accumulate too many kits as it makes me feel guilty. The only exception is when I see a really good price on one that I know won't be available for long.I think guys like us are in the minority though as all my modeling buddies have tons of unopened kits in their stash!

Our club's theme build has given me new encouragement to resume work.

I have the Thunderbolt assembled, seams cleaned and kit primed.  I have hit a minor snag, because I need decals, but they are on order from EagleCal.  As soon as they arrive, I can apply the final colors (it'll be a natural metal finish).

I also moved forward on my Typhoon.  That's primed and in progress on applying final colors.  My subject carried the RAF's ID marking, white and black stripes under the wings, and I have the white down, and am masking for the black.

But in the meantime, I acquired and started a brand-new kit.  Our monthly build theme for February is "Cats & Dogs", and for that, I picked up a Maschinen Krieger "Grosser Hund" ("Big Dog").  I have that about half assembled and primed, my goal is to finish assembly by this weekend and start working on colors and weathering.

I have way too many to list, but I do have a few I would like to get to this year.

1. Tamiya - Bristol Beaufighter Mk. VI 1/48

2. Hasegawa - Macchi C.202 Folgore 1/48

3. Pacific Coast - Macchi C.205 1/32 and C.200 1/32

4. Hasegawa - Foke Wulf FW190 1/32

5. AMT - Henschell Hs 129B Tank Hunter 1/48

6. HobbyBoss - A-7E Corsair II 1/48

I know I wont build half of these this year, but I would like to get at least 3 of these together. If I was to pick the first one to build it would be the Pacific Coast C.205 1/32 or the Tamiya Bristol.
