I have in any case:

not buy any new model until my stack is at 0

I know, it is totally unrealistic but that is what end of the year good intentions are all about, no?

Hi Drabslab

My resolution isn't as drastic, but is definitely along the same lines:

Add fewer kits to The Stash - build (and finish!) a lot more!

All the best

My goal is to simply build more kits. I am finishing school, a Geography major, at the ripe old age of 43 and want to have more time to build kits. I would also like to build some more civil aircraft something I haven't done a lot of in years. Although the military stuff is really great too! May everyone have a Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year in 2010! Russell

I tried this too, but it resulted in growing reference library which of course is not bad thing at all. If I'd only have time to read them all.

finish at least 50% of the "almost done" models sitting on my bookshelves.

Buy much less...build much more. I would very much like to see my stash take up less and less space.


Cheers,
Mike

Hi all
Mine is buy as few kits as possible next year, particularly as they seem to be getting very pricey. Start looking at my stash for builds rather than internet model shops!

Build only for campaign since I'm in so many. I have the problem of joining a campaign then see something I like that isn't allowed in any campaign and build it instead. Then I rush to get the campaign build done with 2 weeks to go.

Well, since I'm new to aircraft modeling I intend to add several new kits to my stash of one at present. Got plenty of auto kits, just bored with them all!!

Hey Robert, welcome aboard and long live the Wingy Thingys !!

I am going to finish the 4 campaign builds I have underway before I start the 6 more I'm enlisted in, and the 2 new ones I've proposed, and the other ones that I will be unable to resist !!

I'm going to see the stash shrink instead of grow !!

Cheers all and have a great chrissy and new year !!

I have full good intentions to stop picking re-release of the same aircraft ( except for pfalz's )
Start working on the list of kits which I'm still looking for . Build more of the stash to make room for the new kit's which will be added . Work on building the library up more ...get a subscription to Windsock and Cross and Cockade .

Get just a tad more into 32 scale in WW1 .

Keep enjoying this wonderful site and all the great folks on here !
