How many Works-in-Progress ?

[Nova-ss]

I have always had many projects going at the sametime.right now there is 35.I rotate them around as to which one I feel like and if I have parts.some I'm waiting for parts on,other needing to solve a problem before I go any more on progress.I get bored just waiting for paint to dry or glue.it don't both me to have any number I want going.some do take years to get done...its ok,I'm in no hurry to get them done.thats how it works for me.thanks,Chris

I have about 10 WIP's right now but many more on the way. I try to only work on one at a time but I will occasionally do more if I get bored with one.

[Dr. Cranky]

I used to feel guilty about have over a dozen or more works unfinished, but I don't anymore. It's the way I build, and that's okay. If I finish something from the WIP lot, I always feel doubly accomplished.

I'll keep 2 or 3 going at a time and work ion them until they're completed.

.......That's great discipline right there! l get ideas & then mock something up. Put the parts in the appropriate boxes & shelve them. Then l get the pirated box down & wonder where the parts went! l'm trying to stick by my guns & not start anything new til l get a few finished. l think l'm over 20 started now if you count the mock-ups & part switching. Plus some people keep sending me parts that change my plans!! BIG lol!! Please don't stop!! Bart

Hard to say. If I'm counting just the ones that are actively or semi-actively being worked on, it would be about half a dozen. If I include the high-concept ones that I got started and realized that they'd be a lot more work than I envisioned at the start, add in another ten-ish. Now if you REALLY want a bigger number, toss in the Corvair glue bombs that I've disasembled and stripped to prep them for (eventual) rebuilding. Hey, they aren't in the condition they were in when I got them, so I guess they qualify as having been started, right? That would be another THIRTY or so, plus a couple of other glue bombs that I've acquired along the way. Let's say 60 and call it good.

Any use for the automatic transmission from the '69 Olds 455, Bart? Took the first one out of the mold earlier this afternoon.

[Bartster]

Well of course l have use for them.........No B.O.P.s in my stash, but l got so many different kinds a slapsticks, kinda gotta put it in something Groovy!!!! Bart.

I have put so much into research and materials for each 30s classic that I build that I can't concentrate on more than one at a time while building, though I will have lots of research going on at the same time for other kits.

[jcbigpaw]

I've currently got about half a dozen in boxes waiting for me to get back to them. One on the desk waiting for final assembly because the paint became a nightmare and I pushed it aside. One in the middle of a rebuild and another glue bomb sitting there waiting its turn. I usually seem to have three going. One is being finished as one is being started and another is about mid way through. Do the two dozen I'm building in my head count? Lol

-I've got at least 30 works in progress all various stages of completion ( not including the 2 new projects that -I will be doing jointly with Bartster!) Mite be more than 30 that's the ones planned out in gallon. Ziplocks + havemany more in their. According boxes getting glue here paint there man I love styrene!

[jbwelda]

i like to keep it to a managable number mostly so i can keep consistent in recalling what exactly i was doing on a particular project and probably how i was going to attack whatever problem caused me to put it down for a bit!

right now:

revell parts pack honda motorcycle (currently on the bench, detail painting underway)

surfite (painted, needs smoothing and clear then detail painting of body and final assembly)

tognottis king t (currently painting interior while body sits waiting for pre paint attention)

oh yeah a 1/8 scale Offy motor that i havent gotten around to in a couple years. please make the sanding stop!

i actually pretty much cleared my bench of projects this past winter, so i was pretty satisfied with that.

[RodneyBad]

How Many??? Too many..

I have OCD of not finishing and ADHD of starting..

But I'm having fun and enjoying it, Sooo it really doesn't matter..

BTW: 40+

[ssroczyn]

I have 7 or 8 that I consider "Work in Progress". But I always pick one

that's going to be the "Finish it" Kit. So I work on that one first and then

play around with the others.

In fact, I finished one today!

Everybody has a different definition of a "work in progress" , so there is no way to get an accurate answer to the question .

i dunno .... there's 42 ahead of you that reinforced my situation.

[Ramfins59]

I've got about 6 started projects that wound up back in the box for one reason or another over the past few years. I usually only work on one project at a time until it is finished. I've been on a roll since returning from the NNL East this year. After not working on anything for several months, so far I've completely finished 2 models (a '53 Ford Pickup & a '58 Buick from The Modelhaus). I'm currently working on a '49 Merc convertible from RMCoMD which is about 2 weeks or so away from completion. I'll be posting pictures of everything as soon as I get my old computer set up again. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've been so productive and successful in building models.

[dyl_w@comcast.net]

15 to 20 are completely painted kits with 10 of those under some form of construction . 20 plus bodies in color , either waiting for clear or pearl coats .

There are 25 to 30 kits completely prepped and ready for paint . I have 30 plus completed bodies in the travel boxes either destined to be built or sold at the shows .

If one particular build gives me fits or I get tired of one task or another , I just find something else to futz with ! Therapy , anyone ????? Lol !

[dimebolt]

Looks like you're set for a long time to come Donn. You'll be making beauties for a very long time for sure.
