The downside of the hobby - what annoys you?

Prices of vintage kits that may never get built by anyone.  It’s a box of parts.  While newer kits might be better, finding a partially built 60 year old kit at a reasonable price and rebuilding it is worth it when people comment they have not seen that particular kit built in decades.

I definitely agree with this

So many kits in my stash. So many ideas in my head. So little time.

That and the weather never co-operating when I am ready to paint.

And of course glue that will attach anything to your fingers, workbench, jigs, etc., but not the two parts you want to join.

I'm afraid that having a number of part built models would really get to me, so I concentrate on one build at a time until finished.

But each to their own.

Nothing wrong with being a butterfly modeller flitting from one project to another. Everyone's attention span, boredom threshold, call it what you wi!l, is different. As long as building models is enjoyed in different ways, it matters not one iota . I can easily understand how projects get put on hold when the distraction of that super new, must have kit suddenly takes precedent or another subject catches your eye.
