Gotta focus !

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Ok, so what y'all see here is my 'pending' shelf. In order of 'Nearly Finishedness' this is how they go, (from nearest completed):



1 - RoG Rafale:
Painted waiting on decals and loadout and finishing off stuff (lights, undercart, burner cans, that sort of thing :zzz: ). Hoping to finish it for the Bolton show, but probably not !

2 - Tamiya Bf109E:
All built & painted, some touching-up needed to the camouflage, then decals and usual finishing; Aerials, canopy, undercarriage etc. Only started this one in January !

3 - Hasegawa Skyhawk:
Underside painted. Need to mask-off the white and get started on the Lt Gull Grey. Been at this one for three years on and off.

4 - RoG Typhoon:
Major construction done. Just needing a trip to the paint-shaed for undercoating then possibly some more FSR then paint. No loadout for this one so should finish it quite quickly, hopefully for the Huddersfield show.

5 - Academy OV-10
Rediscovered (yesterday) 'Real World' project. Sub assemblies done, white metal seats painted, ready for install. some undercoating done. Will get this one finished for the comp at Huddersfield.

6 - Tamiya SHAR:
80% Airframe construction done - still only 30mins work in total on this one. Lots of FSR to be done. Hopefully be ready for the SIG Stand at Huddersfield.

7 - Fujimi Harrier GR3:
Just started. Wings done, cockpit painted only. Another one hoping to get built for the comp at Huddersfield, but as I only started it yesterday, well who can say  

The Fujimi A-7 and Academy F-86E are on their way back to the stash.... I think I got enuff to be getting on with for now.

Of course what I forgot to mention was the stuff that hasn't made it to the 'pending' pile yet. These are in no particular order.

1 - Italeri/Esci Mirage F1 #1:
In the advanced planning stage. Should hit the bench in the early New Year (secret wave to RallyModeller   ). Needs a second 'donor' F1 to 'kick-start' it.... NO it's NOT going to be a Zwilling !

2 - Trumpeter Wyvern:
Yep the big one - another one all planned out and awaiting an injection of bravery by yours truly. I'm guessing our good friend Gekko 1 will have his done long before mine.

3 - Italeri/Esci Mirage 2000:
May overtake the Wyvern as it is currently sharing a box with the Mirage F1 and it's gonna wear a really easy paint scheme - far easier than the one I got planned for the Wyvern  . I cannot remember if this is 'actually' started, think I glued the wings together    

4 - Monogram F-20:
Thought I'd forgotten about it dincha ? The first one already has its' cockpit sprayed. Just needs me to roll-up my sleeves and get stuck in.

5 - RoG H-34:
One for the display cabinet at work. A Marinefliegr SAR machine in that beautiful painted aluminium and dayglo orange. At the moment it's sitting in the paint shed, undercoated in white, waiting on the dayglo and feeling very lonely !

6 - Italeri/Esci Mirage F1#2:
Now if you've read Number 1, you'll see it involves a second Mirage F1...... my summer project. At the moment a blank canvas

Wow! Sorry, I can't help you, all your projects are very interesting, and I want you to finish all at the same time... ^_^

Concerning the title of the topic... you know (after watching Monthy Pythons and the holly grail) that french people tend to have "an outraaaaageous accent. "
Well, my english teacher tell me that during an oral exam, one of its students made a mistake when pronouncing the word "focuse" (I let you imagine the result). He said various times and for some minuts "Now I'm going to focus ..." She said to us that they all wanted to laugh, but had to hold back...

Wow that's quite a queue you've got there Ian! You know we can't wait to see what you finish next. Your work always impresses and inspires.

As for me, well I can't seem to decide what to build next. I may just wait until after Xmas and start on my Secret Santa project.

That looks like the pile underneath my modeling bench (except with less Phantoms and Eagles).  

Impressive...  now, why aren't they done?

Impressive...  now, why aren't they done?

Go back to this thread for the answer (at least partially the answer, I have no doubt):

Yeah, I know, just making a bad joke (as always) related to my status as the insane builder around here.  

He's got other stuff to play with right now.
