The year is half over. So how many projects have you completed. I know several of you claim "YOU NEVER EVER FINISH" a model, so how about for you it's disposing of the old kitbox, moving extra parts into your spares and filing the directions.
So far this year
I completed my Revell 72nd Uboat for the DDD Campaign
an Italerie Command HUMVEE I did "open air"
a Tamiya T-55a OOB for the Seeing Red Campaign
an ESCI M60a1 with verlinden engine compartment
the Trumpeter 1/350 Nimitz with 53 aircraft (3 and a half months on that puppy)
and a kitbash of a Tamiya and Dragon T-34/76 (d)
started an old 48th scale Ki -45 Toryu and some figures for the T-34 to work on till the August kickoff of the Dreadnaught campaign where I will begin work on a 350 scale Bismarck

I had started a thread at the start of the year about shrinking the stash , finishing more kits in 05.

The end of the school year and all my time requirements as a teacher really took the wind out of my sails, but I had managed to finish 6 kits by May, so I had a little wiggle room.
So far this year I have finished
A Tamyia Wespe in a vignette

The AMT Star TRek Relaint (partly built in the stash for 8-10 years!)

Hasegawa's 1/72 Shinden

and the F16 CCV
nitto's 1/20 SF3D Kauz

Bandai's Raiden armor from Gasraki

At this point I have a little time to figure what to finish for July..
E-100, Kugleblitz, Tie Interceptor, SF3D Prowler, Shuttle Tyderium...
decisions, decisions...

started ..... 4
finished ... none
But hey, there is considerable progress, I even started airbrushing on one of the four.
This is not too bad after 10+ years of absence.
If keep going this way, I will have four finished models by the end of the year (and another set started).

Models finished - none.
Still in progress - M923 A1 Italeri 6 x 6 'Big Foot'. Started this kit 12/25/02. Man, am I slow.
But in that time I have gotten our rec room 80% finished with book shelves for modeling related books and a future model display area. I have my modeling specific area of my workshop 95% and have started working again on the 'Big Foot'.
Next project: take some pictures of the 'Big Foot' and post them here.
