AlbertD Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 For me I decide what my next build is going to be about half way through my current build. I pick my kit then start on research. Then I decide what aftermarket I need then start buying the AM and any special paints, masks, decals I need. My biggest problem is deciding on what kit I want to start the process on. How early do you guys pick you next project? Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I tend to start new projects all the time, at least in my mind. Despite the fact that it'll never happen, I dream of eventually building all of my stuff and more.

LSP_Ron Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't, I have enough planning at work. For me this is a hobby that I do what ever I want on the day I want to work on it. I do research, get thing organized and then it may site for years. I build what ever I want to build and refuse to make it a project of absolute perfection now. I just need the zen of building not the stress of being perfect. AlbertD, MikeC, Rick Griewski and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Often times, I've set up a plan for a build before I've even bought the kit. Lots of the time, seeing a new subject announced gets the creative juices flowing. Its a deadly expensive way of looking at the hobby. Why oh why can't I just be content whittling down my existing stash!? MikeC, Derek B and AlbertD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I have a short list. From there it's pure whim. Too much thinking makes my head hurt. AlbertD, MikeC, Rick Griewski and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 My mind is always on 'the next' build. But... that means about 4 or 5 I have to choose from. So many models... so little time. JerseyChris, MikeMaben and AlbertD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Matt Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 LOL. As soon as I see someone elses build on LSP and think wow...so cool. Sepp, Derek B, LSP_K2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Planning for one, or two, of next year’s GBs already! AlbertD, Stevepd and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 You plan your builds? Wow! I tend to stumble over a box full of plastic while holding some glue in my hand, and somehow end up with a finished model - though usually years later.

BaldEagle Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Planning? Not much of that going on here. Life's too short! Basically I'll take a fancy to a particular subject then look for a suitable kit which I can afford, followed by lots of googling. If I get stuck then I post on here for an answer. One rule I always stick to is never start a new build before the previous one is finished. My house is too small to have loads of half-finished kits everywhere.

Rick Griewski Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Pick my next project? Hmmm. I just... oh wait! No time right now. Got to go. I just noticed that there’s a shiny new Luft-46 kit on the floor next to my book shelf. Gazzas, LSP_K2 and AlbertD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I try not to think about the next build because I'll pull it off the shelf, open it up, scatter a few parts and then change my mind by the time current project is done. I have something like 2 or 3 kits open right now like this with an almost completed Skyhawk on the bench. Might start re-boxing things tonight and focusing on the A4.

I'm guilty of the same thing. Mine never turns out as nice though. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
