    Number of projects

    I have two projects on the bench at the moment, a train and a car. I was thinking of starting on a biplane when I wondered how many projects other modellers have on the go at any one time?

      I normally have just one but at the moment I have two because one is the main model and the other is one I mucked up a bit so I work on that one when my main one is drying or I need a break from it

            i prefer only one but occasionally like now have 2, but neither are big projects


            i find it difficult to maintain enthusiasm for two things at once......one will always take precidence


            no idea how people do 3+ projects  O.o

                I normally only have 2, so I can still be doing something while 1 is drying or glue going off! If I had too many probably get bits mixed and who knows what I would end up with.

                  It depends what you mean by a project. I might do one kit at a time, or  2 or 3 kits at the same time, but they will all be related in some way. For example - 


                  The old & new Airfix Defiant kits, using surplus alternative parts & patterns from the new kit to improve the old


                  The same types, such as Hurricanes or Mosquitoes, so I can slightly cross - kit with propellers, decals, weapons and so on, especially if they have similar colour schemes


                  Different types, such as Beaufighter & Mosquito, which tend to have similar weapons and colour schemes


                  So, there may be a few kits that are made at the same time, but I would class that as one project


                  I would never have totally different types on the go together, such as a Spitfire and an F - 100 Super Sabre or have, say, a plane and a ship being made at the same time.

                    I normally limit myself to one kit at a time, but there may be some war games figures being painted or scenery under construction as well.
