So, this is something many of us can relate to: models that we've put a lot of time and effort into but they're simply not progressing for various reasons (read: excuses). Maybe it's time we each post our own collage of models that are coming along (for YEARS, in some cases, eh?) but need a nudge to get going again?



I wouldn't mind seeing the worlds ugliest helo get a chance at the finish line :rolleyes:

WHAT is that  red chain drive 'MG lookalike' LSR car for goodness sake?!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Kit, that LSR car is from this topic, it was part of the LSR group build.

Thanks Hobbes, I totally missed that thread!

I'm impressed with the variety of your stuff, pleased to see someone else does airliners too.  :thumbsup:

Well, most of my airliners end up being something else; I've done a couple of them in military roles. The VC-10 will be finished as the RB.211 test bed. The Tupolev will be my first proper airliner...

We need a "last stage" "finishing" or "last mile" GB for all of these... some are so close!!

Here are a few that made past the "box'em up and forget about'em" stage. :)

Ah yes, G-AXLR, or XR809 as she was once. I've been doing that one for years and YEARS, but have yet to finish it, what a surprise. I have lots of photos of 'XLR culled from the Net if you're interested? Do you have the Two-Six decal sheet for it?

Yes, a Phoenix II GB is indeed warranted.  Look for a new vote this weekend.

I have the original Dremel prize from the first one (the original winner wouldn't accept it).  Still sittin' in its box....

Yup, I've got the decal sheet. I recently took some photos of the RB.211 at Cosford, and I think that's the very engine used on G-AXLR, so I may have to do some work on the engine.
I've got a few photos from the VC-10 site, but more would be very welcome.

Not as many as I thought. I've excluded those where "minimum" work has taken place

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'd be on forever!

Just discovered that Photobucket has a montage feature, so I've re-done my original post.
