Finished my last couple of small builds, am now waiting for the start of the BOB GB, so what to do in the meantime?
I have a decent enough stash now, built up over the last few months/year, so I have a good choice of kits, but I just can't decide what to build, or will I just wait till the BOB GB starts..... I keep getting kits out, then putting them back, Lol.

It does not help that we are about to go away on holiday, so don't want to start anything too big, I don't like to leave things unfinished, Once I start summit I like to just get it done and completed, its the OCD in me!

Think I'll prolly just wait to I get back form our holiday. Sorry for the ramblings, Lol....!

.....I usually sort spares, paint, &/or decals when mojo or time are short.

Now today i had exactly the same problem!

The tank im doing has had an oil wash so i want to leave it well alone for a week to dry off properly so need something smallish and simple to keep me occupied......decided to so a sea venom that got bought a few months back......needed a very specific colour paint for the top surfaces so called in hobbycraft to pick up a bottle.......walked out with an Airfix Wildcat that was cheap that caught my eye (plus paint to do it.... .and a pack of fibre board lol).......so im going to do that to keep me occupied

My usual go to for something to do as time fillers is braille scale armour as its a subject ive always liked but ive got nothing in the stash at the mo

I think it’s a good idea to wait until your back from your holiday Peter.

agog and aghast, no stash? I almost feel the need to send a couple to save you from the sense emptiness you must have!

I have a small stash......just no braille scale armour

I actually have a large but in accessable stash thats in storage til i move sometime in the future

 

[Neil]

oh, well that’s ok then. stash in storage is a second little moment of glee when you found that gem you forgot all about when it finally gets unpacked - speaking from experience!

I do it the other way around when 'Standing by to wait'. I'll pick on a big build (a 1:48 F111 in this case) and stick some of the larger bits together. These can all be returned to the box when the 'proper' next build starts.

Errr, you might have a bit longer to wait than you thought.
