I need to build some of the larger 1/72 aircraft kits I keep buying so I can free up space to buy more.

Only problem with that, as I have discovered, is that whilst it frees space up in "the stash" it reduces space in the display area or the top of the wardrobe etc wherever you put finished kits. And then what do we do ? Why we buy another kit to fill that hole in "the stash" we have just made of course  :angel:

Well the B-36 will almost certainly have to be hung from the shed roof.  An annual dusting and de-spidering ceremony will have to be conducted.
Mrs z will stand to attention and salute while I, wearing white gloves and spit shined thongs, lower it via an intricate pulley system into a specially constricted (sic) cradle.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I still have most of my 2018 list intact ...  :(  In fact, I only got one of thirteen done.  :/  So, I'll be trying to finish do more of that, plus the other things that I've given myself to do.

Some (because others will pop-up) of those include:

>  The Quonset Point Air Museum is dead, but I still have their old website up and I'd like to re-create some of their aircraft, as they had some unique types, like their Grumman C-1 COD with the twin-tail.
>  I have plans for an asymmetric Hampden
>  a nose-intake F-16
>  a tilt-rotor Belvedere

Where am I going?  And why am I in a handbasket?

I would have thought the latter part of that ceremony could get quite dangerous in your part of the world ?  ;)

Meanwhile I have no hard plans as such, some ideas, of which some will get done whilst others will not. I'll go with the flow.

Like this perhaps ?

Can we expect edited highlights of this unique and fascinating  ceremonial event to be annually broadcast internationally; or at very least, photos posted here?

I believe that by "thongs", Mr. Z is in fact referring to what we in the US call "flip flops" - beach shoes consisting of a foam sole and either fabric or plastic straps which go over the insoles of one's feet (and possibly between the big and next toes) to keep them on. 

We call them flip flops because as one walks the sole of the 'shoe' stays on the ground until the entire foot is lifted, when the sole of the 'shoe' flips up, impacting the heel of one's foot, causing a "flop" sound. 

Other folks call them 'thongs' because of the strips of material - thongs - that hold them to the foot.

Mr. Z, here in the US a thong is a barely-there contraption of cloth strips draped about the waist and buttocks.  They seem to be most often worn by women seeking the attention of men so they, the women, can be then outraged by the 'inappropriate behaviour' directed at their nether regions, allowing the hapless males to be branded as "perverts". 

Why this is socially acceptable I could not say.

Possible Cold War warriors that the Royal Air Force should have put into service, like the F/A-18 D as an interceptor. I know that it can't fly at Mach2 and has to wait for the enemy to get a bit closer before engagement, likewise they should have bought the Su-27 and Yak-141. In exchange for the BAe Hawk trainer and BAe Nimrod AEW. 3, maybe a few Sea Harriers.

Now that the Brother-in-Law's Christmas F-302 is done (well, bar the ordnance, but that's a detail), I hope to finish some of the stuff on the go from earlier in the year:

ANARE M-29 Weasel - just getting up the courage to drill and pin the tracks to the base.
Rework of the old Ancient 1st edition Tamiya Kubelwagen.
Kiwi M4 Firefly - assembled but needs paint and copious stowage.
Basing the Shorland and crew I converted for it.
Kiwi SWB Land Rover in Vietnam - vehicle getting there, but the crew are still being fettled with... oops, that sounded dodgier than I meant it to...  :rolleyes:

And I may get started on a few: the Ceres Ag-sprayer from a Harvard; converting the Hawk 200 from a Matchbox Red Arrows kit; maybe a couple of NERF conversions/paint jobs I have been meaning to do for ages.
I have a plan for a Retro-style hover car, and have a suitable Driver - or bits I can use to make her from - but it's finding something suitable to base it on which is causing trouble; I may have to scratch the whole thing, we'll see.
I also hope to try out the Green Stuff World blue mould making bars I got a while ago.

That's just for starters of course, and probably lots of other things will jump the queue - whether they get finished is anyone's guess, and when all is said and done this whole plan could be subject to complete revision/cancellation without notice, but such is the life of a Model Maker.   :banghead:

WHIF ideas I'm kicking around for orly 2019 include:

So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Finish the ongoing builds mentioned in my profile, plus a couple of Proctor-based ideas.  Oh and other stuff too.

So basically whatever takes my fancy!

i have a lot of build from 2018 (and past years) that i havent built yet or partially started.
but one of the new projects im planning in a 1/72 Mig-21MF in Khemed markings and a desert camo.
right now, im looking at building a number of civilian WHIF projects, including 1 or 2 Lufthansa'46 themed builds.
there's also a number of Luft'46 Amerikabombers planned in 1/72 and 1/144 scale.

but my first order of bussiness for 2019 is to finish the (too many) ones that are already on the bench  :mellow:
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

I want to get my two Arrow builds finished, then, after I have rearranged my display space and made some more shelves, start building some aircraft again. Notably the Henschel HS P89 when it arrives. I also want to build the rest of my mirage variants, of which I have at least twelve. Also my prototype mig fighters, as production aircraft, in the service of the cartel air force. I think I will have to store a load of my builds too.
