Modelling Plans for 2023

[BarryW]

I've learned the hard way never to plan anything in advance.

Model making? The best I can wish for is to stay on the planet long enough to finish the build on my bench at the moment.

Anything after that is a very nice bonus......

Staying on the planet is always a good plan….

That is, of course helped by having things to look forward to and in my case it’s two holidays this year, a Mediterranean cruise in April and a couple of weeks in the USA, in Wisconsin to be exact where I will meet my ladyfriends family for the first time and it will be her first visit home for five years or so.

Having a plan for my hobby, kits to build and buy plus an idea of what and when to build them is all part of ‘staying on the planet’ because you need things to look forward to in the short term not just the big long term holiday things.

My main objective for 2023 is to move to the new house, where my bench and stash are waiting for me.
About staying on the planet: I cannot imagine how would be modelling at 0 gravity... and what carpet space monster would look like... :smiling: :tongue-out3::upside:

I'd like to finish my extended Red Ball dio, also complete my Werkstatt group & display it on the same base. I also have an upgrade kit for a ROCO BW Fuchs in the stash to do, my redo of the WWII Quarry dio & the other WWII US Combat Engineer Battalion elements always beckon.

Looking forward to all these builds Barry, be sure to keep posting your build logs..

Well, I'm hoping to nudge my retirement plans along a bit by reducing my summertime hours at work - already sown the seed on that one. The reduction in income coupled with a little more time should result in me joining the ranks of those set on completing more than we buy. Maybe. Fingers crossed. So I need to stop looking at 'spots on the Internet'....

I'm also hoping my 2020 holiday that got cancelled first due to a certain pandemic and last year due to worries over a certain leader's expansion plans might also happen this year, if not then I have an alternative in mind.

My main modelling aim is to improve the finish I achieve without taking forever about it! Some hope, eh?

Oh, so that’s what they were thinking over at Virgin …

Hi All

All change for me. i have closed down Sarnia Miniatures so I can focus on making a dent in the stash.

First on the bench are some SAS/LRDG builds; a jeep and a couple of Chevvys, each with a couple of figures. I hope to complete my 6 Dunkirk 'vignettoramas" by November as well as my B-17, some 1/285 scale diorama, and I am sure at some point I will sculpt a bust. The common thread with all of these is to improve my painting, something which has suffered while I spent so much time sculpting.

i may fail, but I am determined not to but any kit this year!!! (some hope!!)

My plan is to try and finish something

[Mickc1440]

Only got a mini plan so far, finish my F-16, a double Dakota build then the Space 1999 Eagle for the GB

Apart from a general clean up in the cave ( yes it does happen ) I need to go though my stash and find a suitable kit. More foam board to order.

I really need to finish my Fusiliers , but I keep getting ideas for new figures. And that all depends on my work situation- I am 'between jobs' at the moment . After that I am going to get on with sculpting the rest of the WW1 6"Howitzer crew that I started in 2021Here
I have loads of other projects planned, some embryonic and some quite well advanced, but I think I owe it to my brother to crack on with the gunners next

Finish the SS Grenadier, and then look at all the part builds with a view to completion (and there are several!); all being well I think I may well start the M40 150mm SPG. Well, that's the plan at the moment!!

Just followed the link back to the howitzer crew figure, and then on back to the sculpting SBS. Completely gobsmacking! Can't wait to see it painted.
