    Airborne's SWMBO - ordained Next Project

    I was in a bit of a quandary as to what to do next after finishing the last two Shelf-Queen 8-wheelers. I have several more partly finished Queens and some untouched Virgins in the stash but couldn't decide 'what next'! SWMBO came to the rescue by using one of the stratagems she (and her other dedicated 'Knit &Natter' friends) employ under similar circumstances. This employed random numbering and multi-sided gaming dice - and the winner is ... the virginal Tamiya 155mm M40 SP howitzer! I'll post box and sprue shots in the next day or two once the Man Cave re-emerges from a frenetic bout of Spring Cleaning! Her idea is to then finish a Shelf-Queen once the M40 is complete and then alternate SQs and Vs - clever woman is The Boss!

            So … your stash is either ≤ 20 kits, or so large she needed a D100?

              I sympathise with you Ian - I am putting off DIY until the Summer! Minor repairs only, studwork and associated nightmares are well in the past! Think of the Smartie Points you're going to get!

                Not strictly true Jakko - I just took the first few 'To Do's' that were easily visible! Much of the other storage is hidden by boxes due for sale, disposal or recycling as part of my periodic clean out. :smiling: My stash is currently somewhere in the middle of those estimates, but may expand sometime soon ...
