Nearly completed........

[pedwards2932]

I have 5 nearly completed models and have decided to not start another until I clear the backlog.  Some just need a prop and maiden trim flights.  Others need a fiddly bit of design to complete.  How about you guys do you end up with a lot of these nearly completed models?

[g_kandylakis]

NO! NEVER!

[pb_guy]

I have about 5 that I am going to get back to ... some day ... maybe ... if it gets interesting again.

I have some still on the drawing board

I have some models aging for 30 years prior to completion

Yep. Got to the point where I swore I wouldn't start anything else until I'd finished some. Do I need to list my sins them? Ended up flying foam ARTF's     
Have now put last winter's still-a-project HiFlier PT-20 in a box to clear the building board so I can at least refurbish things into flying condition.

The foregoing all makes me feel really quite smug about the Chiribiri, which is now only 6 months in on a 6 week build.  Oh dear.

Unfinished models lying around—it's a nightmare.
When I start building a model, I see it through to the end until it's finished and flying.

My bugbear is props. If a model needs a prop and a plastic one won't do, I'll often let it set for a long time until I feel like making one. Sometimes that doesn't go well either and I wait even longer before I build a second one.
Sometimes it's something else. I started one model and got the wing and tailfeathers built, but never got going on the fuselage. I would wonder why from time to time. One day I sat down and really thought about. I realized it was because I thought the fuselage was ugly. I switched and adapted a fuselage from another design. The result didn't fly well, but I did get it finished.
Still, I've got a few partly built RC models I need to get on with and a rubber job that needs a built prop. Sigh.

Bargle, do not despair. Don't compare yourself to other guys you are your own best bet, and there's no time clock to punch. You are in good company if you count me. I am on my own ass all day long about models and chores. I don't follow my own good advice, til I get gloomy. Then I start to whistle.
Neither losses or gains are permanent, and pass they shall. Don't take yourself personally. You are a cool dude mate. Trust me we do go back a few years.

My problem (aside from being guilty of the original query) is that I'll finally get one (mostly) assembled, then decide I should at least test-glide it before adding a lot of the finishing touches (insignia, antennae, exhaust pipes, etc.).  But rarely does one of these beasts survive the glide-test and initial trim session without damage.  So it then moves to the over-stuffed "repair hangar" where it languishes while I start another build.

I used to be really good about finishing projects before starting another.  That's fallen a bit by the wayside the last few years - this is getting embarrassing...

at least yours fit on a desk surface...

Why would you want to cover any of those!
