Help me make my mind up

[tr1ckey66]

Hi everyone


In the past I've never really had much trouble in deciding what to build next. However, lately I'm finding it quite difficult to make a start on anything. My Spitfire marathon is complete now - all 5 are finished and simply need some figures (by-the-way I'll try and include the figure painting tutorial I kept promising).


So with these builds winding down thoughts are now alighting on what to build next. As I've said before I've never really had a problem in choosing my next subject but I seem to be lacking a little enthusiasm recently. I thought it was down to the amount of aircraft I've completed of late but I think it may be a bit more than that.


I've narrowed my choice down to 2 builds (both of which I think I will really enjoy) but honestly I can't decide between the 2. Please help me in my choice and hopefully I can get back in the groove.


Cheers

Paul I got a little fed up with winged aircraft. So I had a go and built a Merlin Helicopter.


Then I thought this belongs to the Airfix 1/48 range of the Herrick Afghansitan models.


They include Soft armour Cayote, Jackal , Warrior, Quad bikes, Landrover MK1, Snatch Landrover and Lynx plus a platoon of infantry.


To that I have added to this stash other military hardware used. An Hasawega


Apache and Harrier.


I have made a shelf into a scene for the whole lot.


Just an idea a goal I suppose to aim for. Really enjoying it especially as it is so varied.


Helicopter then soft top Harrier etc.

The 2 He 111s drop into a themed build as they are part of the Battle of Britain collection I'm doing. But of course that would be 2 more aircraft (although not fighters).


Your Afghan builds really do make varied subjects they must look great together.

That was an easy choice Paul! Trumpy's P IV all day long!

The other day I was looking at the P.IV...


The shopman leave it on my hands. I had a strange sentiment then, and decided to NOT buy it...


Looks a nice kit, but it has more than 2000 pieces. That means an amount of work and be sure about what are you doing!!!


Just think if you are ready for this challenge


My vote is for any of the two kits


Forget the wings for a while and buy some new stuff!! A Takom or a MENG kits

The panzer IV for me we have too many wingy things on here

The 111 gets my vote as at 1/32 scale will be very impressive and I just love monogram kits and have been seriously considering getting one myself. The panzer at this moment in time with your mojo slightly on the ebb might just be a bridge to far.cheers John

Well, it looks like the Panzer IV has the ayes so far.


I think I'll call time on this poll at 12 tonight, then (whatever the decision) I'll dig out the kit(s) for a look-see tomorrow.


Ooo! it's just like election day with the opposition Panzer party ahead in the polls with the incumbent aircraft alliance hoping for a late surge!


Cheers

Go for the Panzer, you know you want to

[peterairfix]

Panzer gets my vote as i am looking at the hobbyboss 1/16 tiger tank in veiw to buying it

[Guest]

I like tanks.

[dave]

I would go for the PzIV, as something very different to the spits

[john i am]

It's still the He111 for me

[papa 695]

The Panzer for me.


With you just finishing 5 Spitfires a change of theme should give you a fresh out look on building kits.

My vote goes for the P IV no wings and it'll be something different
