Not much for 2025 right now. Everything will be in flux as time goes on.
1. Continue to work on my stealth USS United States aircraft carrier. Want to get that finished in 2025. This is my main project/priority for 2025.
2. Finish my Japanese F-16XL aircraft. All it needs are more decals.
3. Finish my SV-22 Osprey anti-submarine aircraft. Working on painting the canopy right now. But don't have any decals for the model and won't be able to get any till next year.
4. Working on whiffing a German WW2 Krupp Raumer S into a Test & Evaluation vehicle if R.G. LeTourneau had gotten a hold of it to use as inspiration for his future overland train concepts.
5. Any other projects I have are on temporary hiatus until further notice.

My goal for next year is not to have any goals and/or modelling plans. I prefer to make things up as I go along

Everything is on hold for the moment until I get confirmation on what security site I will be permanently working on. Its a four on four off setup until I know the security officer that I'm currently covering is returning to work or covering the nights when he has his rest days. Once I return to a regular income I can finish off a few of my started builds and concentrate on my model railway 00 gauge layout.

I'm going to build more what ifs based on our local IPMS themes, branch out into areas I've not done in a long time, or ever.  Even the weird and obsessive world of Gundam, but only one more, with my wife.

Got a couple of ideas for the Boeing B-29 based on the AEW and USNAVY as a maritime patrol aircraft.
Using the Boeing Washingtons instead of the Avro Shackleton, the AN/APS-20C was fitted to four modified B-29BWs. Ground clearance is a bit tight but it could be fitted above the fuselage, in a similar fashion to the Boeing PB-1W and I have the Blackbird conversion set. The engines would have been replaced by turboprops due to the lack of spare parts. Serving in Coastal Command before being passed to 11 Group Air Defence. Radar being replaced with the Grumman Hawkeye package or FASS which will be an interesting whiff if it works. The cockpit will need to be reworked.

My goal is to finish stuff. Either things from the shelf of doom or something I've started and needs to be completed. Either way, plenty of work to do.

We must have great minds because we're thinking alike!

I have no plans, because that way lies "Failure!"

I fly by the seat of my pants & soar where the Winds (& Whimsy) take me!

That's one way to look at it, not a failure but an opportunity.

Finish the Sea Witch by my Sister-in-Law's birthday in October.

To those of us with a sense of the ridiculous, the conjoined concepts of  "the seat of my pants"  and "where my the wind takes me"  could lead to an unfortunate  experience

Only if one "follows through" with one's plans...
 

2025 plans...finish that fecking heli carrier and ..well at least finish my Chaos Knight and the Tyranid Carnifex painted ..well paint more than one colour on it anyway ..now ive got a new wet pallet I've gotta reason to play with it 
Also thinking about doing more figures 🤔

No concrete plans, but I currently suffer from a lack of model mojo. I have been working on a project since Xmas last year and it only makes VERY small steps (even though there is progress). There were, however, several issues that distracted my energies, including mental health and a water damage which has not been solved yet. Hrmpf. :-/
