    Can’t think of anything I’ve done once and not liked......only made one bike kit, but have several more in the stash for ”one day”. Never tried SciFi or modern military though.....and am not sure I ever will.....

      I realised this afternoon that I also only ever painted one bust and have only built one model of a medieval subject (that same bust ).

        Only ever made one Sci-Fi model ( and that was for a friends' son ), I'll probably never do another it doesn't interest me at all! I've tried most other genres, from modelling engineering through R/C to plank on frame models, I don't like making multiple versions ( unlike Bob & his Stugs! ), I'm afraid I would lose interest repeating things. I do tend to head for the less popular and obscure end of the market, but I've no hard & fast rules about that - just things that catch my interest....................

          I built a helicopter once, I really didn't find it interesting and quite bland...don't know why to be honest.

            Assuming I can get back to modelling, I will only make one version of any particular thing. I can appreciate those who have an interest in a particular subject and want to make all the different versions, but for me, there is so much variety available I couldn't possibly even begin to make one of everything that takes my fancy.

            The exception to this of course is figures. I can make figures for a dio which only vary in the position of limbs or different weapons, but even that's limited to say half a dozen figures. As for this guy, he's just totally insane -



            - until you compare him to this lunatic!

                  23000 British with 44000 allies, and about 75000 French opposing them Chris. 45000 Prussians turned up at the end ......
                  More than 50000 were killed or wounded by the end of the day. Getting on for a quarter of the combatants!

                              JMW Turner thought so......not the triumphalist picture the bigwigs envisaged when they commissioned the painting....
