Are You a "One & Done" Builder?

[Casey]

I saw the "Favorite Kit to Build More Than Once" topic but I wondered who here will build a kit only once, then never again?

[Lunajammer]

Every kit. I haven't doubled up on any. As the saying goes, "So many kits, so little time." And I would add, "Never say never again."

[Ace-Garageguy]

Anything worth doing once is worth doing to excess.

Not sure I would build another AMT Gremlin.

[High octane]

I've built Revell's '41 Willys a few times and have another one started.

[slusher]

When l finished the 33 willys l said l would not build another one, just don't like the kit and it was not fun to build for me...

[disabled modeler]

Id really build anything but there are models i could build as many as I could get a hold of...there is always another way to be built from the last version done.

[Harry P.]

Generally I only build one of any given model. Once I've built one, my interest is off to other subjects. The only exceptions that I can think of offhand are the Monogram 1/8 Jaguar and the Big T (built 2 of each of those).

[Tom Geiger]

I build slow so I don't have many duplicates. But every time I finish something, I think I should build another with the 'lessons learned'. My Heller Citroen is the poster child for that one!

[gtx6970]

The only kits I have built just one of , is the IMC Little Red Wagon ( aka Lindberg kit now ) and the MPC Wild Willie Borsch Altered. And I have no intentions to do another one of either

I've only got one of the AMT 1962 Belair's done, but thats going to change soon

[brad4321]

There are far too many models that I want to build that I will never have time for to consider doing one model twice.

[rel14]

Thats the best part of building, each time you can do a little more, and or modified stuff to inprove it,,the opitions are endless,,

[Fabrux]

I have multiples of several kits to build different versions. Some are new-in-box, some are built-ups. Sometimes I'll build a kit now that I built when I was younger, either to replace one that was destroyed or one that I still have on display to see how far I've progressed.

[MikeyB08]

I'm always try to revisit a past built model. Most of the time, I give a good 3-4 months before building the same model. I always try to find other ways to do stuff. Plus, being new to the custom model genre, I always thing of the best details after the fact.

[Austin T]

Lindberg Model T custom pick up, Nuff said.

[OldTimer50707]

I'm still waiting to get "one" done

[scalenut]

the revell/model king Henry J,, but honestly I think after that first build I'm not so scared of it anymore

This one. It was so bad, and so far from a snapkit that I even threw the box away. I cant remember the name of it and dont give a fig. It fought me all the way. Check out the gap at the bottom of the windshield. UGH.

The nascar trailer car hauler

[CEKPETHO BCE]

There are a few models I will never build again.

After building a Revell Ferrari Daytona (Miami Vice) I feel like never building another one. Same goes for Revell Shelby Cobra. For some reason I can't see myself ever building another one of those.

[rmvw guy]

If it's one I like I usually think in threes. Only exception is if I can only get one.

[Ramfins59]

buy multiples of some kits if I particularly like that car, but I've never actually built a second one of anything yet. I've got too many to go through for the first time around. I sometimes wind up stealing parts out of the second kit for other builds.

[Deathgoblin]

I haven't been back into car building long enough do build any duplicates. I've got two Ferrari Mythos kits, but only one is getting built stock.

[uncle potts]

I only build it once, except for the 50 chevy pickup, and the 2nd one was a rust bucket in a diorama. Once its done I'm off to something else.

[Sport Suburban]

I didn't think I would be a minority on this one but it looks like I am. I love muscle cars and build many of them so I have built the same kits many times all different ways.

Lets see. I have built 2 Revell Thunderbolts and have 3 more. I have built 5 Revell Cobras and have many more to build. I just finished another Johan Javelin. That brings me to my next question. Are we talking about the exact same kit or are we including similar kits with variations. I just finished a 69 Cougar Eliminator that has a Boss 302 and a 4 speed. Plus I'm building a 69 Cougar 428 CJ with an automatic and different wheels.
