    How many have you built?

    Since my return to modelling I've been plodding away at all sorts of model subjects, ranging from WWII planes to modern armour.


    So doing some quick sums, in the 5 years I've been back building I've built ,,,,,,,37 subjects!!!!


    That's 7.4 a year.


    You may not know your count but what would be your guess?

    In five years? More than ten but less than fifteen at a guess.


    Cheers

      I reckon around 30 items in 3 years or so. Various categories, with costumes even thrown in.

        1/32 = 1


        1/48 = 9


        1/72 = 8


        18 in 6 years

              When you say subjects Adrian do you mean 37 builds over all categories like planes tanks or do you mean 37 categories like one from tanks one from trains ect?

                  If say about 30 in about 3.5 yrs returning to it ( I'm getting better ) I'll have to put more on here I think, but I'm too critical of myself most of the time.


                  I have about 10 projects under way possibly few more but all around 70% complete ( mainly painting and weathering to complete them)


                  I'll get there one day


                  Regards


                  Robert

                    Cheers Adrian in that case since I got back into the hobby in 2011 I must have done about 120 builds across the board

                      28 and two refurbishments of old kits since my return in early 2012.


                      About 8 or 9 a year I'd say. More than I thought!

                            lol.......back then i had lots of free time since i was out of work, it kept me occupied so it was easy to turn round something like a 1/24 car in a week.....i can remember doing a lotus 7 in under 24 hours for a blitzbuild gb on the airfix forum.....these days i dont have the time....working stupid shifts mean for one week in three im too tired to sit at the bench, lose interest..............also had a period of burnout cos i did so many, rather take my time and do a better job these days
