How do you choose your "next build"?

Hard to say,no formula,whatever hits me at the time the last one is completed.As was mentioned,sometimes you need a lighter build after a real test,sometimes it's a group build,or maybe a new release you just grabbed goes to the front of the line.

Good question. 

 

All of the same reasons you posted.

 

Sometimes my next build choose's me! If some people I know/respect/like from this forum are having a group build I will join it even if I don't normally build that subject matter. I've found this forces me out of my comfort zone and to try new things.

I find Group builds to be very helpful in keeping builds going along while exposing me to the vast knowledge of other builders.

Sometimes I just see a kit in my stash and it's time for that build.

Many times when a newer, better kit of a subject I have is coming out. That will motivate me build as a comparison. This is what just happened with my build of the old AMT Star Trek shuttlecraft.

 

 

 

I usually alternate between prop and jet.  Scale doesn't matter.  Right now I'm working on the 32nd scale Revell P-51D-5NA.  Next build is going to be a 48th scale Hasegawa CF-18B.  After that, I might break out my 48th scale Lacaster.  No rhyme or reason to my decision.
