Share your Model Building New Year Resolutions

Resist the urge to buy more models.  In just the last 6 months with mostly presents for Christmas and my Birthday and not to mention the other ones in my stash it's way more models I can build in the rest of my life ( I am 76)  

I could also say, not have some issue with every build I do but that ain't happening?

I have 4 on the bench so to speak waiting simply to be glued together and 12 kits in boxes some started most not started. I'd like to get clear of the 1/32 and 1/25 scale kits to get back to my preference of 1/24 and 1/16 scale classic cars in this year. Or at least put a dent in that direction.

I am planning to build early Fords. I have two kits each of Revell's '29 Model A Roadsters and Revell's '32 Five Window Deuce Coupes. I plan a highboy and channeled version of each. I also have Revell's Ford "T" Street Rod I want to build.

Currently on my bench I am building a '69 Camaro that I want to finish. I am a slow but thorough modeler who is 65 yrs. old with arthritis in my hands and poor eyesight. A plodder if you will. If I accomplish this I will be satisfied.

Also, I want to learn as much about our hobby as I can. Gaining the skills of resin casting intrigues me.

Are you going to build a Mk III? I want to do one, convert a Fujimi Mk I into a Mk III. I've been doing some research, and it's going to be a lot of work, especially body work, which is not my forte. If you're tackling one of these, I'll be very interested to check out the build.

Trevor, the MK III has not been on my radar but you have planted a seed.  I will let you know if I ever decide to tackle one and you do the same please.

Will do, Gary. Don't hold your breath, though. With all the projects I want to get to, it will likely be a few years before I get to it.

I plan to finish kits before starting new ones. 

I plan to not buy as many kits this year.

 

 

And I'm pretty confident I will fail in both cases. ?

No plans/resolutions as to model building, when the mood strikes I build, when it doesn’t I may just look at stuff, or buy more stuff, or just not even go in the room. My day job has time limits and always going wide open, so I try to keep my hobby limit free.
