Thingz to do in 2010 lizt - October update

[Howard of Effingham]

Toad, if I hadn't changed my mind there would have been NO Canadian stuff built this year, eh ??

unenforceable methinks! 

[pyro-manic]

Lots of things on my list, but my priority is to finish a good chunk of my in-progress pile before I start anything new. Not likely to happen, but still.....

Finished a few projects already - my Sand Fly Mosquito, my USAAF Tempest, my Hunter GA.14. A few more to go, but I'm getting there!

Anyway, new projects to start this year include:

SEPECAT Panther GR1 (see Spinners' profiles topic)
HMS Leopard (battlecruiser based on IJN Kongo)
Maltese Knights heavy flying boat (will be based on something like a Blackburn Perth - big, heavy biplane with lots of weapons)

And several others, if I get round to them. I do need to get an airbrush as well - I hate painting big models by hand...

I've started the Panther, but I have yet to acquire the kits required for the other two. Won't be for a while, as SWMBO has decreed that I can't buy anything new until I make a dent in the existing stash. I did get an airbrush for Christmas, so when the weather gets warmer I'll be using it.

2 x Revell Typhoons (one is the CAF project that I started about four years ago, stripped of paint and ready to go again)
1 x Revell F/A-18F
1 x Revell Rafale B
(the aforementioned) Revell Rafale M
1 x Monogram F/A-18A
1 x Italeri Gripen
1 x Italeri Mirage F-1C (definitely not a 4th or 5th generation fast-jet but it sort of fits)
1 x Hasegawa F-2B

SWMBO just handed down an ultimatum:  FINISH SOMETHING BEFORE I START THROWING OUT!

That's why I am still unattached with a stash that looks like a model shop at times

Hey, i just got a sort of reprieve;  I cut down a tree in the back yard that was driving her nuts . . . Got @ 2/3 cord of good hardwood for the wood stove, too . . .

I'm going to find me a resin kit to work on, next.

You should have replied "well wear some of those shoes/clothes, before I start throwing them out" - then run

Heh . . . She (and I) had just gotten home from dropping off about 6 big trash bags of clothes - hers and mine - at the local Salvation Army thrift shop . . . We are getting ready to refurbish our spare "bedroom" which had become a junk room.  I have a corner already reserved as my Hobby Corner.

So,
Looking back at my list I have made great inroads into completing none of them so far, However:

72nd Lindberg He 100 in Swiss markings - finally got some decals so will be trying to finish this one soon
72nd Airfix Rabidmonk still debating what markings
72nd Airfix Chipmunski radial engine up front and either N Korean markings ala Bedcheck Charlie or Russian - put on hold
72nd Hobby Boss F-84G maybe USN for Naval GB - Still trying to figure out how to do the wing fold with those solid wings (any good ideas?)
72nd Tamiya F-84G Duchy of Grand Fenwick - think this would be a good one for the Nats
35th or 72nd (still can't decide) T-62 for Secret Santa GB - probably my 72nd Space exploration vehicle but still stuck on design
72nd Academy Preditor in USCG markings as the Lifeguard - going to try and make the decals myself, probably do for the Britmodeller GB
72nd F-22 in AK Agressor markings - still looking for the Revell kit for this so is on hold

New project:

72nd S-3 Viking in Dutch markings since I now have the markings (thanks Ian)

Plus there are a few other odds and ends projects that I need to finish to help fill the SIG table at the Nats so will see how we do over the next couple of months.

I told you, Mr. P, that they were to be USED, now get those little Chipmunk things finished - drop me a PM, I got a couple of ideas for your 'udecided' one - then one of the F-84's and then get that S-3 built during the summer..... resistance is futile, and I will keep bugging-you for progress reports.
