niels wilhelm right there with you.

Rex I am right there with you, Wim,,,,,,,,but, as a singer. I would like someone to tell me why a singer ends up with 7 Microphones, and enough gear to be the host of the local singer/songwriter night.

Spanjaard the same that some people here could make a modelling shop

Rex It is easy for us to say we are going to stop buying,,,,but, the model companies aren't helping us with that. (they want to sell us things)

I recently bought 5 kits of a new release,,,,I was going to kit-bash and use vac conversions to do them,,,,,and then the 1/72 Fury was released in 3 boxings for me to build them OOB when I get to that part of the collection. It will be sooooo much easier for me to build them almost OOB than to get Fury models from my stacks of parts and pieces.

It seems that just about the time we get enough old toolings of a model, or get a few built, that some company comes out with a kit for it that is better than what we were going to use before. Academy did that to me with their F-8 Crusader model, they did it so much better than all of the toolings in 1/72 scale, that I wound up buying enough to do all the Squadrons I will need for my collection in the end. (and if they are still for sale when I get to those, if I only "bought as I went along", they would cost twice as much, 4 boxings and 6 years from now)

So, the stash grows.........

Maciej Bellos I posted a solution... which I know I can't follow I am with you all in this one, not enough time to build and buying kits once in a while.

Markus Antonius is often buy kits just because i like the box-art... or i like the particular plane -knowing perfectly well that i will never build it
i even tried to sell all of my stash (which i did) ... and then go on with my hobby by saying: "buy one, build one - done, buy one - build one, done"... well.. looking at my stash, i could not manage it

Spanjaard no, certainly no!

bughunter Until you have build all kits of your stash you can't die! So buy more

Spanjaard we all have it in one way or another

Holger Kranich Procrastination is well known behavior of me.

Ed Froix Writers have a writers block, Woman have a menopause and even God took a pause when creating the world!
i sometimes have the same problem, and you know what.. often these become my best work!!

Peter Hardy I think it is a symptom of the realisation that the build is not aligning with that picture you have in your mind. I get it ALOT!

Ed Froix true Peter. I also have it a lot after seeing pictures of the real subject or someone elses his build. I am almost never completely satisfied

Markus Antonius thank you mates for helping me overcome my doubts and hesitation on that matter got some inspiration and giving me some drive!

Michael Hickey Awesome, well done.

Patrick Hagelstein Shouldn't be any problem. The doors are all separate and knowing Tamiya in exactly the same size as their corresponding openings.

Markus Antonius ok, but it is not intended in the instructions? thanks anyway

Patrick Hagelstein Who needs instructions anyway?...

Florian Ludloff Sehr schön! Waren die Ätzteile in Ordnung? Hatte mal in ner Revie gelesen, daß sie größtenteils nicht passen würden bzw. viel Schnibbelei und Schleiferei an schwer zu handhabenden Teilen erfordern würden?

Markus Antonius hallo florian, das mit den ätzteilen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, denn die sind ja größtenteils anbauteile. ich hatte damit keinerlei probleme, sonst hätte ich das ding in die ecke geschmissen - bei sowas bin ich leider sehr impulsiv

Florian Ludloff Ja das kenne ich! ^^ "sooo, jetzt haben wir das mikroskopisch kleine Anbauteil nach ewig langem hin-und herbiegen in Form gebracht....jetzt nur noch mit der Pinzette anheben und ....SONOFABITCH!!!!!

Spanjaard very nice vehicle, and really well done little dio

Patrick Hagelstein Yeah! I like this!
