Modelling Plans for 2023

[AlanG]

Apart from a general clean up in the cave ( yes it does happen )

Jeez that would take me more than a year lol

I would like to get a few more builds (and SoD builds) done though. But i'm not giving myself deadlines.

[BattleshipBob]

Just want to geton with modelling lol

[stona]

My plan is to try and finish something

Nice one Paul, my plan is exactly the same!

[Panzerwrecker]

To ensure what little output I manage already gets better each build.

[Ernie]

To finally get my work area all set up and organized
To build all the kits I got at Christmas
To finish as many shelf of doom kits as I can, or at least not add any more to the shelf
To learn and improve my skills, old dog new tricks....we'll see
Quality over quantity....both are rather low :smiling3:
Have fun :thumb2:

Yep, that is more than enough for one year:surprised:

Some grand plans indeed for all!

I have to find some willingness when i return this time. I anywhere knows anywhere that has any please let me know. Scale model shop and all other retailers are right out of "bags of enthusiasm".
In the much reduced stash after selling 90% of it I have:
1/32 F14 - part built which i aim to complete
2 x 1/32 BAC lightnings
1/32 Eurofighter
1/48 Sea Vixen

I really want the Lightnings built but don't feel at the moment I would do these justice. If I have the F14 and Eurofighter done by the end of the year I shall be happy.

Is that the Tamiya or Trumpeter F14? I have built the Trumpy myself and while it has its issues it really builds to a great model.

Love to see a Lightning build……but lack of mojo is lack of mojo…..we all get that from time to time. I sometimes find a cure is to actually finish something. The relief from clearing a long delayed project can reignite the interest.

I might go completely off the rails with a war of the worlds war machine complete with lights and sound and then the squadron models Hanabreau ii or however it’s pronounced
I also have border models Lanc 1/32 and a hachette Titanic to do as well that should keep me busy for the year

I'm glad to see this thread revived so I can see my plan is already collapsing. Deviating from my list for 3 GBs.......

Funny you say that. I also am reconsidering my plans. I should have finished my 1/48 HK Lancaster within a couple of weeks and originally intended to get back to 1/32 builds with the ZM Raiden.

I am still keen to do so but I have these last five 1/48 kits in the stash and I am tempted to get in and finish them first. These are all modern jets, rather than my preferred WW2 subjects and I have no plans to buy any more 1/48’s (though the ICM B26 Marauder and Beaufort are seriously giving me second thoughts - I will resist and hope that HKM bring out a 1/32 Marauder.)

So my schedule is likely to be:
Kinetic Sea Harrier FRS2
AMK MiG 31
Airfix Buccaneer
Tamiya F4b
Tamiya F14A

Then the 1/32 ZM Raiden and it’s all 1/32 from there on in.

Planned purchase list now 1/32 only, all kits expected to be released in 2023 or 2024.

Italari Folgore
HKM Havoc
ZM Fw190
Kotare Spitfire Mk1 (I plan to hold out for the Late version, the mid, early and Mk V being released first - mind you, can I wait?)

Just remember Chris, as Von Moltke is frequently quoted…no plan survives contact with the enemy…..
