I keep looking at my partially made or painted models and say, "I just need to add that" or "It just needs a dab there, a spot here, and a little drybrushing."

Means it takes forever sometimes.

But I don't want to rush.

Wouldn't it just be easier to hold an Open house and invite the doubting parties for a good look..........of your kits etc ???


Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

If there's one thing you don't suffer from Terry its not "not finishing stuff".  You are master of completing models, and could teach us all a thing or 2 about finishing models.

In fact, you already have.  Over the years I've gleaned numerous tips & tricks from you about how to build models easier & quicker.

bang on the money there Nev :)

It might make Terry blush, but he is one of the best modellers on this side of the pond by far. You only have to look at his real world stuff.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
