That is what I am doing right now. For this year I have one major stalled project to finish: The 1/350 Enterprise NX. I did do some work on it a few days ago, but my experimenting has taken priority. I want to try and finish that up in the next two weeks if I can.
After that I have a Dio of the Martian war machine I want to finish up, and a few smaller works.
Speaking of Motherships, here are a few photos I took of the mothership from Close Encounter of the Third kind when I was at the Smithsonian:
The second photo shows one of the Greeblies they used on the Mothership.

Hello folks,
I have been determined not to start a new project until I have finished the current one. Nah... I knew you would not believe me.
But the good news is that I only have 2 kits on the go at present. I hope to finish them both soon (By the end of Jan.). My major plan for 2011 is to build the Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IX with all the bells and whistles. If I can get that done by December 31 then that would be great.
cheers,
FW190A-8

F6F Hellcat
Mitsubishi Zero
MKIX Spitfire
ME-262
F-22 Raptor (with a custom twist)
For cars
Make one super souped up out of this world Corvette, i want to Re make a old Revell Corvette stingray, and re make a super fast car that i have made in the past, but didnt look very good, i want to re make it because i know i could do better now! .
Beyond what i can afford

2010 was pretty productive for me, so Id like 2011 to be at least as productive. I currently have 2 group build subjects on the go, a 1/72 Academy B-17F for an interclub challenge to be shown at the CAMS show in May (entering it in the B-17 GB at ARC also), and a 1/144 Revell CC177 for the "On Canadian Wings GB", Id like to get a Revell 1/72 Lancaster done for that GB as well, built as a post war Lancaster Mk10 SAR. The only other aircraft on the radar right now is something for the Pacific theme at Cams, that will either be an Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 or a Tamiya 1/48 FAA Corsair II. Id like to get another AFV built this year, probably the 1/35 Dragon Early Jagdpanther, maybe the Trumpeter Canadian LAVIII instead. And for vehicles, our club is tossing around ideas for a tribute GB for a member of a local model club that passed away last weekend, the build would involve American muscle cars or hot rods.

I just want to carry on as best I can. I've had a pretty poor start to the year, and it looks like another house move might be on the cards. I just hope I can find somewhere with a good space for me to have a studio.
Finding time to film is tough at the moment, but hey - we can't have everything. We'll see how 2011 pans out but in terms of modelling goals my main one is to keep my channel alive despite the potential for major disruption!

First off SO glad I found this site! IT ROCKS!!
After a 2 year hiatus from doing models 2011 will be the year I will jump back into the hobby with both feet. Looking through my stock pile of models I realized I have alot started with only a few finished.
Have learned a few things and thinking about doing a couple dio's this year definitely a junk yard one since I have so many parts (30 gal tote full anyone need anything lol)
Other then that just look forward to building something!!

I want to start my thunderbirds/ blue angels diorama. I have always wanted a model of each plane each team has ever used, of course preferably in the same scale. That and scratch building I want to try also.
For me in 2011 I am going to finish my Hasegawa Draken that is just sitting there waiting for all the small bits to be put on. Right now I am in the middle of putting a Classic Airframes Vampire Mk.3 together for the Canadian GB on ARC and I have a Hasegawa F-14D being built for the shows in Shearwater and Fredericton. A few other projects keep calling my name also.

Finishing Old projects would be my Pri One ! for 2011.
Since I just retired from the Army and my "Expendable" income slashed in 4 ! LOL and my New Job is paying a lot less ! I will have to look thru my stash and build what I have accumulated over the years!

Ive got a ton of 28mm Warhammer minis to finish, but my main goal is to get my Space Wolf army finished. Somewhere along the way I have an old MPC 1/24 scale JU-87b Stuka and an Revell 1/32 M-47 Patton tank I want to complete.
Those are my priorities...
I'd love to complete these as well by Dec 31.
BanDai W-Gundam Zero Custom
Revell 1/25 Custom 56' Ford Pickup
Italeri 1/35 US Army Cargo Truck (2 1/2 ton)

As soon as I get the bench cleared I'm gonna dive head-first into a MiG-15 bis Fagot-B in 1/48. For Xmas I got the Trumpeter kit along with a set of Fast-Frame masks, resin wheels, resin cockpit and Eduard photoetch kit. But all the A/M kits are for the Tamiya kit, which I have in The Stash. But since it all came together as one gift, well.....this should be fun. ;D

Finish what I've started in previous years
Seriously, though, I want to finish my 1/700 Pennsylvania, which is for the FellowSHIP Build at Agape, and so, has a deadline; the pair of Mustangs that I started for the DVSM December meeting that I had to miss; and Tom Daniel's Red Baron, which is also for a fellowship build at Agape (Automotive). I had good momentum, till I hit a wall when I realized that I have to strip the chrome off the chromed parts. AMS sets in....
Oh, and I have a bunch of toy solders on the bench, too.
