I would like to share something I struggle with in the hope that I could encourage you not to do what I have done in regards to ship modeling. I lost count, but I believe I have 12 or 13 ship models! Some of them have not been started. Sometimes I look at all that I have and I feel so overwhelmed that I end up not working on any of them--all day. My point is this: 2 or at the most 3 is one thing--12 or 13 is another. Besides, all that money! If I just purchased 2 or 3 I would have had quite a bit of money to purchase more needed ship modeling tools! I acted in an undisciplined way because "I just have got to get that ship model!" Grant it, due to the time element in building a ship model 2 or 3 I believe is a wise move. While one is drying from paint or glue, 1 or 2 others could be worked on. It's not unheard of for a ship model to take over a year to build (years ago it took me 15 months just for the hull work of Sergal's "Great Harry"). So 2 or 3 is a wise move. But I believe I went overboard money-wise because "I just had to have it". The money--and time--could have been used more wisely. So my ship modeling brothers/sisters--for what it's worth I hope you'll use your time and money more wisely than I have. Andy from Kenosha.
