This year I will try and get more bench time then what I did last year and get something actually done ! Very slow building last year and I find myself missing the relaxing time it produces and adding to the stash , this is a given ..

What's yours ?

Terri,

Mine is to actually finish something!

More than a handul of WNW kits in various states of completion, a few WWI armour kits the same, An Aussie Vietnam Centurion. A 1:16th Pzr IV & 2 1:35 PT boats amongst my haul of shame

.

I've sworn not to start my Albatros B.II until at least two of the WNW kits are at a state of completion...

Well, in a way, you've both said it for me too. I'm determined actually to finish some of the Great War projects I've had under way. The main fly in the ointment has been frustration with the old CS Taube, but I'm determined to get there.

Best wishes

Usually the only resolution I am sure to keep is not to make any, but in a perfect
world, I would say to try and make more time for my modeling, which usually
progresses at a Snail's pace.

Happy new year Terri, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie

I made that resolution last year, but I fell far, far short. Although, I do plead some serious real life issues that played into that.

Here's my resolution: to not only finish something, or finish more, but make sure I encourage and support my friends to do so.

Terri, I'm right there with you. I'd like to get more built for me, and in the case.
I do have to get going on a CVA-9 USS Essex for my dad though. So, I guess that'd be the priority, but some WNW single seaters are up there also.

After thinking a bit about New Years Resolutions, mine is to have more fun and enjoy my modeling. Take the pressure off and don't worry about bouncing around from project to project. As long as I'm putting in modeling time, it doesn't matter if I finish one project or another in a specified time. I find myself actually stressing about finishing this or that, which can take the fun out of it. The models eventually get done, but I gotta allow myself to bounce around a bit more and just let it flow. Yeah, this kinda sounds like the opposite of most peoples resolutions, but it's more about the act of sitting down at the bench and modeling than getting a job done.

After moving house and setting up a new desk, I have decided to do a few challenges this year..
The first will start in a 2 weeks time, when I have a ordered vacation (my boss says I have too many days over from lasr year

) and I will be doing a speed run, building a complete WNW in that time!
If I can do a 1/48 Eduard weekend edition in an actual weekend, this must also be possible...

But most importantly, I have decided that for the first time in many, many years, I will build more than I buy....

I have said this out load, so it must be true...

Hi!!!

Well, I don't do new year's resolutions but in spirit of this forum I will make one "special" one for this site - join and finish group build for 2016 whatever it is - it will be my first group build so that should inspire me

Cheerio

I never make them because I never keep them, but I resolve to finish the 3 models that have been languishing on the corner of my work bench for the past 3 years; two Halberstadt Cl.IV's and a SPAD 13. I'm glad this forum has a "remove post" feature, so I can go back later and delete all this and by the end of the year, no one will remember.

Cheers,
Bud

My resolution is the same as last year - having fun with modelling. Which means every new build has to be better than the previous ones and feature something new. That is the fun about it for me.

Cheers.
