Lucky if I manage 1 a year. The problem is that I have too many interests. Military History, Astronomy, Modern Physics, automobile racing and it's history, and I enjoy reading about almost anything of substance. The models I build are primarily because of my interest in the golden years of aviation. When I retired, I made a pledge to myself that I would do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it.

At some point, the bug will strike again and I'll spend several hours torturing another expensive airplane model.

So far 1 in a year but this year will be exception, so it looks like so far, I´ll finish 3 this year for sure. Fourth is uncertain. All this thanks to all these campaigns, I promised to enlist...

After an inital "high volume phase" when I came back to modelling last year (Average of 1+ models/month) I am now down to a more resonable two-three month per model. Given that quite a few of the initial models where cheap&easy (no PE, low page count, good fitting) to build up skills I assume that 5-7/year will be my average rate. Depending a bit on the model naturally, I guess the three M151's in stash will count as "1 model" for that purpose while the Strv-103C with PE will easily count as two

1950's - I would not call those constructed but destructed models.
1960's - 2 a day.
1970's - 1 a week.
1980's - 1 a month
1990's - 1 a year.
now - 6 a year.

I must have gotten old after children invaded the house.

At the rate i'm going since I got back into modelling in 2006, about 0.001 per year!

I really only got back seriously into modelling about a year ago, since then I've started about 10 and finished 1. I love the campaign concept as it gives me some focus and a finish line to aim at.

It really depends on what I'm building... some project are started and finished after one month, other take 3-6 months... other land back in the box and wait unfinished for better times...
Avarage is about 3-5 per year

Campaign builds are the only things I get finished.

Finished 10 last year.

To misquote Freewheeling Franklin
"We have plenty of plastic, and as we all know building will get you through
times of no money better than money will get you through times of no building"

I average 6 armor pieces complete in a good year. Although I am retired, outside forces completely influence this number.
1) Weather (we have a pool, and I'm the pool boy and lifeguard).
2) Home Improvement (the wife always has a new idea AND her Mom lives next door).
3) Children's activities ( I have 4 teens still at home and when they sign up for something, I am too, like it or not).
4) IPMS AMPSEast (I'm in charge and when we kick it into gear planning takes up a lot of time).
5) Romance (My wife and I are still very much in love and spend lots of time together).
But I still try to finish 6 models a year!

4 to 6 per year but like Matt, there are numerous other forces which affect it...

Chores & Projects around the house, Work, teenage daughter and always leaving time for a great 27 year marriage!!
