Do you work on one kit or multiple kits.

I usually have 3 or 4 going at various stages.

I do the same thing I always have at least 2 going at the same time . I was like you I would get bored just building one.

I have mulltiple projects ongoing.

I think I have 6-7 going at the moment.

I usually have 2-4 going....depending on the size of the build.  I also like to mix up the builds.  For example, last year, at one point I had a plane, armor kit, Sci-Fi and a sub going at the same time.  Never got bored.  LOL!

I usually have 3-4 going at the same time in various stages.  I like to have more than one going since I might have to wait the the paint or glue to dry on one.

I work on one at a time. I have tried having several kits of the go but i always just focus on one. As i mostly build diorama's, i get around the issues of paint drying by useing that time to do figures and other parts of the dio.

I did build 4 at once last year but they were all part of the same project so i bult each kit to a certain point then the next and painted them all together.

Hello!

Looks like the norm here... My goal is to build two at a time, but somehow I wound up building four projects (one is a two kit project!). Luckily three of those projects have good prospect of being done soon, so I'll move closer to ma target number.

Good luck with your modelling projects and have a nice day

One main kit at a time, with a secondary kit started as the first is winding up.  Whenever I'm waiting on something to dry on the major kit, I'll just work ahead on the next subassembly.  But when I get to the point that there are no more things to work ahead on, and a lot of time is spent waiting on paint or whatever, then I'll start the next kit.  When the main kit is finished, the secondary becomes the next primary.

I find that if I try to build more than that, then I'll usually lose interest in one (or more) and it'll just end up on the unfinished shelf.

I almost always have 2 to 4 kits going at the same time, usually in various stages.

I have never worked on more than one kit at a time.  My TBI is a factor to this.

Your friend, Toshi

Just one at a time.  I never feel in a hurry to finish something.  Taking my time is part of the relaxation of building a model.

At the moment I have 5 on the bench

1: Heller 1/72  Caudron

2: Revellgram 1/48 P-61 Black Widow

3: Monogram 1/25 Slingster dragster

4: AMT 1/25 1925 2-in-1 C cab fruit truck ( This kit leaves a LOT to be desired. I don't recommend it for beginner's )

5: Glenco 1/240 USS Oregon. This has been on the bench since I got it in 2007

I also have an "assortment" of kits that get rotated on and off the bench..... Too many to list here ( maybe another 5 or 6 .)

Heller Caudron 635 or 714? I'd built the latter c.1991, nice kit.

The 714.

 I like the Heller kit .... I just need to stop messing it up !

Usually working on 3 or 4 at a time in different classes. One at a time usually brings on boredom.

Once I get close to the finish line with #1, I put all my energy into it until it's complete. Then #2 usually moves up.

I used to work on multiple kits at once. After many years of doing that, I ended up with lots of projects in progress and very few completions. Nowadays I’m trying to clean up that backlog by completing those side liners one at a time and knocking out a complete build here and there in between. Slowly it is whittling down that batch. So nowadays at most, I’ll work on whatever my primary project is, and tinker with a sideliner when there is down time in the primary.

Well, I cracked. I was working on just the one kit when I hit a sequence of steps that required a lenghty period of curing before I could proceed to the next step. So I started two other models. They have similar colours so it should be easy to paint.

I work on more than one at a time, or rather, I start one, hit some speed bump on it, start another, get hung up with something on that one, start another, and on and on.  And that's why I have a Shelf of Doom with about a dozen or more stalled builds.  I don't join group builds anymore, or take part in my club's monthly theme builds, either.  I'm focusing on finishing thos stalled builds.

I usually work on 2 to 3 for all the reasons listed above, but also because sometimes I build models grouped by their having a relationship. For example race cars that ran against each other, or warships or planes that fought against each other, or planes flown by the same pilot, etc. I even once built a Klingon Bird of Prey and US Navy destroyer together because they were in the same scale, had interesting camouflage and performed similar roles in their respective forces.

The only downside to multiple kits is that it occupies a lot of workspace and mine is limited.

2 kits max right now. I am getting back into modelling after a 5 year hiatus so I don't want to get into to many different problems all at once like gap filling, bad fits, warped pieces etc. Right now I am starting with what I catagorize as easy or crap-kits that are good to learn on but won't hurt if I mess up. 

When I hit my stride I could have up to 4 going and would mix it up as well so I would have armor, aircraft, a robot and maybe a car as well. It definitely helped by mixing things up when building and painting. It especialy helped when I got to point on one kits where I couldn't do anyting because of waiting for paint to dry or needed a break for having to do too many of the same subassemblies on one kit. 

Space is an issue right now so I have to plan very carefully right now.
