      Sorry Paul, don’t understand the first concept? Fine with the second one though.

        I think there's no harm in increasing the stash as it still has value but having started cutting the sprues and leaving the kit half built is a crime. :smiling6:

            :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: I'd be in jail and the key thrown away with the evidence of unfinshed kits and dios all lined up plain as the eye can see. Naughty me.

                My Aim? - I have no aims - no plans, no pressures, If I finish a model, great! If I don't - so what. I've found setting artificial goals & targets reduces my enjoyment ( yes - it's taken me 60+ years to realise this ). It's one of the reasons I'm not going to join in any GB's this year - I'm just going to potter along, doing my own thing!

                  Well, my business sale and retirment plans are progressing with an awful lot of work, on top of normal stuff, to do over the first 4/5 months of this year. I am still not going to work on my stash during this busy stressful period, in favour of other builds that I am not so personally invested in.

                  My immediate plan is to finish the SU25. Then.... I will see, right now I am considering a 1/24 Trumpeter build to keep me going. Checking reviews I am wondering about the Spitfire V, Hurricane II, Zero or Me109G.

                  I will see.....

                    Getting not much joy from this mountain I'm currently working on. Plan to finish Tiger/SPAA dio, a medium tank company of Shermans, a TD company of M10s, and start the Brick Factory dio. PaulE

                      I also have no aims other than to continue the way I have always done. I love the way you guys seem to agree that it's OK to leave a model partly built and start another one, or two, so it's not just me then. :smiling5:

                        Me neither. I never start one until I have finished what I am working on.

                          Mr. David Ward, with the exception of perhaps the G.B.'s, you and I are kindred spirits!

                          We shall potter along side by side with no pressure.

                            Targets are there to be missed! I really do have to make an effort to reduce the amount of the stash, the last year or so has been so focussed on busts that The stash is virtually untouched.

                            so this year I plan to keep to a rota: finsh one stalled build, then one new bust, Then something else from the stash, then back to finishing another started build, etc etc.

                            i cannot recall which general said no plan survives the first engagement so we will see how long I keep to this. So far, my WW1 dio is the stalled build I am completeing.
