LOL, glad to see I'm not the only one with quite a few unfinished projects.
Hell, even my "Get it done" campaign piece is in doubt at the present time due to insanity at work, and no days off since February, and they actually expect us to work additional overtime!

Hi, my name is Henk, and I have a lot of unfinished models...



I don't have a shelf, I store them around the house, so it's not to obvious... Although even SWMBO has asked 'when will you finish those?'

Brummbaer
Pz IV Smallturm
Pz IV J with full interior etc (long term project )
M88 the m88 is actually finished, but I'm still going to get the resin interior for it one day....
T-70
Two dioramas
CX 500
a ship (don't ask...)
a plane (don't ask either...)
Steyer 1500
Stug III (nearly finished..)
Sd.Kfz.7 with PaK38 (nearly finished, just some Russian figures to paint.... )
YPR 765 (somewhere....)
several figures

I'm sure I have more stuffed away, I used to be really terrible, starting on a new kit almost as soon as I got it home... I'm much better now, I wait at least a week..

Steve, how many socket multipliers are you using there??

I can see the beauty comin'
These are some great scratch builds. Love the ANTARS (maybe because its closest to complete). All look promising with a little TLC and time

As grump said wrap one up and you can enter in the Get it Done campaing

Guess its gonna be a while before I can do anything .......no bench ---been 3 weeks now and I am going "doolally"........had to move out of my room and transfer EVERYTHING to loft ...now no room up there to swing a scalpel ---if I could find the box they are in
So I guess there is another 6 part-built kits to join the rest ....think its 29 now
Ah well ---one of these days ..........

Glad to have you on board Steffen ...jump in

While read this --a thought ---surely there are a lot more out there who must be too shy to "ADMIT IT "and are hiding their "Shelf of Shame"
aye

Sorry took my eye off the thread, and I should know better in this company it's an LCG4 intended to be a working model with radio control, built for D-day anniversary a few years ago. I finished an LCT5, 90% finished an LCT4 and 30% finished the LCG. Done are difficult to build the hulls being .75mm and 1mm plastic sheet Pics to follow as I will have to take some
