The Story of my Life-The Half-Built Hoarder

[Captain Canada]

Always big on ideas, short on attention span. I've tossed out quite a bit since we started the move. Some I've regretted. Not sure what I'm going to do moving forward. Of course I'd like to finish them all, but this is just one box .

The Tracker was going to be a COD a/c, where the entire rear fuselage would be swung open.

The Barracuda a single seat bomber.

The Sea Vixen was to have a "normal" two man cockpit.

One that can't be seen is a Sabre, using the wings from HS125, as a ground attack type.

The last time I bothered to count them, I had sixty-two unfinished projects.

Admittedly not all were Whiffs, some go back to my RW modelling days.

I am SO happy that I am able to build models from start to finish, one at a time...

You are indeed a rarity Dizzy. I tried doing the same a couple of years ago and failed miserably    I salute you

My problem is that I like to build but I do like painting. So many of my projects stall at the paint stage and I end up starting another.

62???  That's more than my current stash!   I have 4 unfinished models..........................but then I also have half a dozen part written backstories, about a dozen backstories with the basic research done and a considerable number of initial thoughts floating around.    Once I've finished this procrastinating I really must get done, I'll try to have  a clearing up session or three and get up to date  (Hollow laughter from Madame Rheged)

I've lived with Dizzys ethos..one build at a time ..have I succeeded with this plan ..nope..not at all ..damn near 3/4 of my tanks are unfinished..my planes tho is a different matter..every plane ive started ive finished 🙃
I'm happy about that ..the tanks tho I'll build or modify to wiffy standards then the problems start..I can't decide what colours to paint em so they get built and unpainted ..probably more than 20 of em..haven't counted ..to depressing 😁

Still trying to figure out how this makes you different from most of us...     

[kerick]

Take some of those half build projects and bash them together and see what turns up. Ericr can show you how.

My biggest problem, related but not quite the same, is seeing a model I want for my primary build subject (New Jersey) and knowing if I don't buy it there's a good chance it will go away.

As for partial builds you expect never to finish, there are always the other Whiffers who might be happy to receive the kit in any condition.

No, I'm not ashamed, and I'd really like to point out that i find much pleasure in just sifting through my stash, remembering the original plans, but also replanning and reassessing ideas. And all fun is good fun!

I now have my plans on either written on the outside of the box, on a slip of paper inside the box or more recently on a Word document on my P.C.. I still forget what I was going to do with some kits
