Hi everybody, I'm brand new to this site and have registerd today. I build 1/48 WWII aircraft, all combatants, all types. I think my biggest problem in modelling is that I have to many projects on the go at any one time, 32 at last count. I think I'ts something to do with getting stuck on something and while waiting for insperation I'll start something else, because I want to be doing some modelling. I have tried to limit myself to building one at a time but it wasn't possible. I'd be interested in you comments.

Hi Holdfast! Welcome to The Best Modeling Site in the Galaxy!

I don't think you're the only one with that problem, if it's a problem in the first place #:-)
You'll fit right in because most of the guys, gals and kids here have piles of unbuilt and unpainted kits
Upload some pictures if you have them!
Ask away if you need help or inspiration. You'll be swamped by the replies, I kid you not

Welcome aboard Holdfast! Glad to have another on deck that can't build just one at a time.

I build WWII armor U.S. mostly, and I have only six going at the moment. I think 32 would be my entire stash...lol

All the inspiration you could need could be found in this one place! :-)

Welcome aboard, Holdfast!

Hmm... I usually don't have the problem of working on too many kits at once. Normally I can only work on one.
Now, buying multiple kits at the same time... that's my weakness!
At last count I had 30, with another three headed to my house via UPS... (:-)

Hi, Holdfast, and welcome. 32 kits at once? Wow! I've got two armor pieces and 4 Civil War figures in active building. I've had as many as 5 of the same kit in various modifications going at once. Regular production line. Keeps the detailing consistent. :-)

Welcome HoldFast. I had the same problem you have. Lost too many good kits. Now I limit myself to one at a time. And I found myself finishing just as many in the same time . Imagine that. Anyway, welcome aboard. Mav

Welcome at the greatest site in the world


I think with 32 kits waiting for you, you have nothing to complain about
my problem is that when I`m working on a dio often great ideas come up for other dio`s than I`m putting the one where I`m working on aside and start with the new idea
problem with that is that I`ve got quite a couple of unfinished dio`s waiting for me.
Ah well christmas is coming up plenty time to finish a couple of things....

:-) Since joining this site I have managed to finish 4 of those 32, with 2 more nearly done. I have started 3 others though. I seem more focused. I believe this site has contributed to that. Thanks everyone.

Wow!, I would never think of building more than one kit at a time. I also build in the order that they were purchased, so my older kits dont sit too long (paranoid about cracked decals)

Hi propboy44256,
I have kits over 15 years old with no sign of problems with decals. :-)
Since joining this site I have brought 9 kits, almost, to completion. I don't know why, for some reason I've been inspired to find the solution to the problem that has stopped me completing those kits. :-) Probably has something to do with the great advice and encouragement on this site.
