Ramfins59 Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Not counting the 3 cars that are in the purple pond, I'm inching along on a '59 Dodge Street Machine. I'm using a Johan promo that I started on several years ago but which got misplaced. I've recently rediscovered it while cleaning out my garage. I ground out the grille from the rear and attached some PE mesh. I sanded off the mold lines on the bumper, went over it with a polishing kit and used the Molotow marker to "rechrome" it, which came out great. I opened up the hood and I'm using the chassis and Hemi engine from a 2005 Chrysler and am also considering trying to use the Chrysler's interior also. It's a bit of a project... Now if I could just get my life's events from getting in the way, I might actually be able to make some real progress on it.
bbowser Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I'm blown away by some of the lists here, I don't know how you could keep track of that many builds. I have limited myself to 3 on the bench at any one time, I won't start another until one of those 3 is finished. On the bench now:1914 Model T fire car (ICM)1967 Corvette coupe (Monogram)1968 Chevelle hardtop (AMT)

I have limited myself to 3 on the bench at any one time, I won't start another until one of those 3 is finished. Some of these are way longer than what I thought was a long list. I keep track of mine with a Workbench thread here ... can't think of a better way.
KWT Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) I'm enjoying seeing all the different things going on... and ...well... my list is nowhere near as impressive83 Olds Cutlass x 265 Impala69 CamaroBecause of gravity and a breeze my 70 Buick is now off the table and in the pond. I do have a 71 GTX, a 78 Trans Am, and a 67 Chevelle in the early planning stages though. Edited June 7, 2017 by KWT
Snake45 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 It's good to see that I'm not the only one with a half-dozen or more--sometimes a LOT more--projects in the works at any given moment. I WISH I had the ability to focus and concentrate on one model and work it to completion, rather than get distracted by some newer, shinier project that.... ...Hey look! A squirrel!
Ron Hamilton Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 If I listed all of my un-finished builds in the queue, I would get depressed. I gotta get to work.
Tom Geiger Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I'm blown away by some of the lists here, I don't know how you could keep track of that many builds. They don't! I think we need to better define "in progress". Nobody has 50 projects in progress. Maybe 50 that they did a little work on and pushed aside. Take a look at your work bench. What is actually on it right now? Me? Dodge D50 pickup. In progress and on the bench

In progress and on the bench True, but the OP's question was "what's on your bench or slated for it". Personally, I have nothing on the bench at the moment. But I have a ton of stuff "slated for it".

Maybe 50 that they did a little work on and pushed aside. Take a look at your work bench. What is actually on it right now? Me? Dodge D50 pickup. In progress and on the bench Agreed, All I listed are on my bench or just to the side of it and all get work done to them from time to time . My Golden Commandos car is box stock with nothing added except Fred Cady decals. The Lawman 64 Plymouth is pretty close to that except a Johan hood scoop , an auto trans from another lindberg kit and a pre-wired dist. Right now, Nothing is getting worked on. Models for me are a Fall and Winter hobby The Superbird and the Challenger have never been far away from the immediate work area or my mind. But neither is box stock and are the 2 most detailed builds I've attempted in several years. My problem is I get bored with adding detail and the slow pace it requires so only work on those 2 when I have the inclination. I much prefer box stock builds. They're easier, smoother with less headaches ( most of the time )
Lunajammer Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I think we need to better define "in progress". Nobody has 50 projects in progress. Maybe 50 that they did a little work on and pushed asideYou're partially right. My list does not include the many projects over the years I've started and walked away from. I consider my "in progress" projects the "A" list of things that keep coming back to the bench now and then or are currently on the bench.
iamsuperdan Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Let's see...currently on the bench... AMT 1978 Ford F250 1968 Dodge Charger RT Meng Ford F350 ESCI Mercedes G-Wagen Revell VW Golf Italeria Volvo FH16 Monogram 1970 Superbird rebuild Italeri Porsche 993 Tamiya BMW Z3 I'v e put an asterix next the ones I'll get finished by the end of the year.
matthijsgrit Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I'v e put an asterix next the ones I'll get finished by the end of the year. Hilarious!!
ZTony8 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 On the bench is a Tamiya Group 5 Capri, and a Tamiya McLaren MP 4/5B. The other 1300 projects are still on the shelf .
socal76 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 I simply can't put my list here because it would turn this thread into multi-pages just from my list. All too often I will start on a project and then something else will grab my interest more, so the first gets put in the box and onto the next one. But the real problem is this is a never ending procedure. Probably have well over 100 kits in this state. Might go back and do a little on any of them and then back into the box and on the shelf. Always get hung up when it comes to painting because I know that is my worst part of finishing a model. Had what I considered a very good paint job on a '57 Black Widow I had painted outside and used a bent coat hanger for the holder. I started back inside and off the hager it went and before I could stop my foot I heard a very distinct "crack". I now had a multi piece body. And this was all done while the kit was not in production so no luck finding just a body. So it goes, onto the next and stopping at paint on everything for SOME reason! Oh yeah, I also need to clean off the bench from moving a bunch of things. A 12 foot countertop bench and no place to sit and build. Too many kits and not enough space. Someday I hope I get a little more organized.
peekay Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 64 Tempest convertible, 64 Thunderbird and a Jaguar XK120. Each of them could be completed in a few days but I just don't seem to get to it.

oldcarfan Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 My Cannonball entry is sitting there on the bench. Close by are my Lindberg Trans Am and Camaro, waiting their turns for a Cannonball style build and four Monogram curbside Porsche 911s.
