Greg Myers Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 . . . under glass forum, heck ! just driving around. There's just too many ideas floating around. I don't know about you, but I can't keep up with all the ideas in my head. Seems I just get a good start on a build and I think up some new great idea .So here on my bench are several started builds and new ones on the way.
Draggon Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Yea, I'm with you on this. I find I get distracted from my current projects real easy. I started a Monogram Slingshot while waiting for my Black Widow to arrive, stopped that to start the Black Widow, then got interested in finishing a stalled project, and theres a CBP on another forum I'd like to join.....yikes! I think I spend too much time online and not enough at the bench.
niteowl7710 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I have more kits downstairs than I'm willing to admit that have completely assembled engines...and Ooooo SHIIIIINEY...this thing is in the way, I'll put it back in the box and finish it later.
oldscool Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I hear ya. I have 10 - 11 kits with nothing built but the engines. oldscool the lonesome polecat
Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Engines are usually what stalls my projects! I get bored or frustrated detailing the engines and end up starting another kit to get away from it for a while. Just recently,I was working on the engine for my '66 Impala when I looked at a '65 GTO and wondered how hard it would be to put hardtop on? Then I got an idea for a cool set of wheels for it. Then the interior and color ideas came. Now it sets waiting for clear,foil and assembly. I glued the hood shut so that I wouldn't have to detail the engine. It's going to be finished before my '66 Impala,maybe....

Everybody has their own building style and there is nothing wrong with curbside builds but my favorite part of a model to build is the engine. oldscool the lonesome polecat
Jantrix Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 For me the big distrations are the CBP's. I love being involved in them. So whenever a cool CBP pops up that is about something I'm into, I dash off on that tangent and what I was working on is boxed and shelved.
Guest Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I have over 100 projects started, varying from just having mold lines sanded to almost complete.
