At the risk of: The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. (To A Mouse by Robert Burns) Resolution #1: Stop wasting so much time on Fakebook.? That's the only chance I have of living up to the next resolution. ? Hoping to continue the roll I've been on since joining this forum. We all have projects in mind, we get to them when the mood hits, and that can change daily. I struggled to pick only nine, leaving out the current NART project, that will be next if it kills me. Have my last finished project filling space to remind myself. Not in chronological order, but will start with WIP. 1948 Chevrolet Canopy Express was started April 1995. Got involved in the Bring Back Your Dead group build, but staled out after making substantial progress. Recently got the perfect tubing for the rolled bed edge. Just need to resolve the floor, gas tank, color paint for the patina look. VW 25 window Bus was started January 2003. The major kit bash work is done, the meshing of the Porsche 911 engine/suspension, dash, seats, wheels, lights, mirrors. Need to repair and redo the A-pillars before commencing. Cast a new VW emblem, so can remove from body so paint can look good in that area. Making the wire detail in the windows and back seat will be fun. Also want to do fiber-optic lighting. Debating how to do the cloth top, want an open and closed option made from Kleenex. Toyota Celica sleeper, have it planned out on the instructions, for stitching the Lexus (US name) V8 and chassis under the body with minimal modifications. Refuse to do the Rocketbunny look, but a razor wing might be cool. '69 Chevrolet pickup. Maybe I'll do a '68, which I currently own, but the '69 which was my previous truck will be a little easier. Have numerous parts, such as grills, badges, wheel/tires, gauges. Will resist doing a proper chassis/suspension, have a few more kits that could get the treatment. Beemax: Audi Quattro is something I've always wanted to build. Also have the Profil S1, which will become Bobby Unser's Pikes Peak car. Waiting for detail parts such as the engine, gravel tire/wheels, windows. Auto Union C Since I got the perfect tubing to do the 16 exhaust tips, that's calling me. Mercedes G4 sedan. No, they didn't produce one, a radio car yes, but not what could be considered the ultimate SUV during WW2. Roof came from my 170V Roadster project, needs sectioning to grow bigger. Would like to find a 1/24 scale Mauser rifle, know of smaller scale Shapeways versions. Honda Civic 1st generation, with newer engine transplant. Car is 1/24, engine 1/25, does it matter, do I care? I have the CVCC kit too, that will be a replica of my first car. Opel Blitz cargo truck. Only because there are resin cargo parts available now, makes it easy to fill the back. Found the aftermarket tire/wheels, to replace the evil tires that melt plastic. I have many other military kits that might push this aside. I'll be happy if half get built, but 8 got done 2019, so why not dream? HAPPY NEW YEAR!
