Tired of your current kit?

Thanks Calico Jack and Kevin. I'm getting a sense of the stash pushing my need to finish a kit to get to the next one and putting less focus on finishing it with the level of detail I should.
However waiting for paint to cure kills me. I tend to rush it then the paint turns out bad.
Haven't tried the dehydrator method yet. Not sure my wife will grant me any more space.
I have 7 kits in my stash right now and 3 on the bench. I have kits in carts on line and practicing restraint from checking out. It's a start....

I know exactly where your coming from Roadworm I get that same problem I have no patience lol and waiting cement or paint to dry is waste of my valuable modelling time as for the buying of new kits I have 42 at last count in my stash and yes I have so many others in carts of so many sites even I don't know what or where they are lol ,big difference between us is I don't have a wife a partner or girlfriend so my house it's my rules in other words every cupboard all floor space is devoted to models lol keep plodding on and you will get there ONE DAY lol
 
Hey all, I'm curious how many of us get tired or frustrated with the kit you're working on and want put it on the shelf before it's complete.

I'm working on a kit now that's just giving me grief every step of the way. I know there is something to be said for sticking with it, facing and overcoming challenges but im losing interest in this one. Do you ever call a timeout and put it on the shelf incomplete to get to it at another time? And...if you do put it on the shelf when do you generally get back to it?

Love to hear everyone's thoughts.
ALL THE TIME!!
 
Unfortunately lately being in my seventies, I'm losing my cool quicker and braking up and throwing out those I just cannot understand! Bodies of cars that just won't fit! To my way of thinking which is probably completely wrong! But that's my fault 100 per cent. I should test fit the bodies straight out of the box, but I'm just too impatient to get on and start the next build!
 
Tamiya 1:12, Honda CBR 1000-RR-R
This one, Jaysus, Mary and Joseph, I find Tamiya to be an excellent manufacturer usually but this one drove me insane for some reason, all was going extremely well up until the front forks and wheel assembly, do you think I could align it to get the long screw to take up the slack ? could I hell, after 4 hours I gave up, back in the box to be continued, also accidentally got a gluey finger on the front glass that stuck out like a sore thumb, it was enough to make the Pope swear !!!

FOR SALE (Free To Good Home)

1 Tamiya 1:12, Honda CBR 1000-RR-R

All inoculations from a reputed veterinarian practice, flead, wormed, microchipped and neutered,
Opened the box yesterday after posting above and within 1/2 an hour it had me cursin' like a wild banshee
I'm beginning to think that Tamiya let some schoolkids loose in the factory on a visit and they messed with
the settings on the presses, or the entire workforce had been on a bender the night before and had not fully
recovered the next day due to the amount of alcohol consumed, or it is just cursed by a bunch of renegade Leprechauns
I just cannot get the front forks to fit properly ,they just won't line up with the holes, also managed to snap
the front brake lever :confused: :confused: :confused:

The funeral will take place on Wednesday next week at the Holy Mary Church of Eternal Agony followed
by a burial at The Sacred Heart Memorial of the Damned Cemetery in Ballyfeckit. Co. Cork
Conducted by Father A Waythebetter

Roadworn, get you a dehydrator, it's a game changer. My wife had one of the cheap round one with plastic trays I commandeered when she upgraded to a better unit. She grow and drys all her own herbs and spices. After some modifications and making some tin spacers I have a pretty nice unit. VW in my avatar was dried for an hour and masking tape applied without incident. Not sure where your located, but I see them in thrift stores all the time for $10 +/-. New on Amazon about $35.
