Number of projects

[Gwyn]

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 can see where me asking about projects could be confusing, I can also see that if I had used the word kits then people building dioramas would be almost bound to have a few on the go at the same time. Thanks for your reply it gives me an insight into how other modellers manage their modelling which from the replies seems variable.

2 - 3 generally, mostly as I use oil-paint rendering, and often have to wait a week or so between applications, but I do have a couple of builds on hold at the moment - a Dreadnought (bad choice for first ship) and a Diamond Wrecker (dunno why I didn't just buy a block of styrene and a file  ) - I may go back to them when I have a longish quiet period, but for me, it's all about pleasure and enjoyment!

I have two projects on the go, but illness has put a stop to them. I did the battle droid as a stop gap and really enjoyed it but, it left me knackered.


I have the RC 1/16 Tiger tank still to finish, new metal hull, sprockets and idlers painted but to do fit and weather.


I also have the RC 1/16 P-III, this is in total bits. New metal lower hull painted but not weathered, 2.4 system to fit, metal sprockets, idlers and road wheels to prime, paint and laquer then fit.  


I will get around to it, sometime.

I have too many started projects to mention but........ And I say but I will finish them all ( some of the GB builds I'm struggling to get done and a few projects have lapsed into the corner. So walks on the bench at the moment 1/48 Bf109f ( winter camo) and a 1/72 Mk1 Huricane ( special )

I have had 10 on the go but usually it's 3 or 4, you know what they say, variety is the spice of life.

Most of the time it's just one for me, though I might get started on the next build 'early', towards the end of the previous one, if I'm waiting for paint, varnish etc. to dry.

At the moment I'm working on:


1/16 RC Panther


1/16 Pz.kpfw IV


2 X 1/35 Panthers


2 X 1/32 Dr1s


1/48 Eurofighter


and around a dozen 1/32 figures.


Having several projects on the go at any one time has never really bothered me. My builds tend to be part of a much wider project now anyway and as a result finishing one kit is rarely the end result.


i guess it's simply down to what goals you have in the build.

Ive usually got at least two on the go , sometimes up to four or five. I find that i can always do something on one of the others while waiting for paint / glue to dry etc.  At the moment ive got the mig 21 for the GB , the yak 25 rv (another GB)  in progress and a monogram P61 Black Widow and monogram f101 Voodoo about to be started.  Thats not to say something else wont suddenly take my fancy and end up on the bench too!!

Ive got two on the go a long term project when i feel like getting back to it and a build which i can do what i want with it and have more artistic license as the say goes.


Although i do have a project that's a constant aswell which is the house aswell


All good fun!
