This IS therapy! I have actually 2 ships in build, one on hold (have a mind to start her all over, one day...), 9 kits in stock and 2 more arriving in the next days... I really should stay away from Ebay.

for me therapy is rigging the ratlines and rigging the cannons. or is that insanity? I don't quite know anymore
 
Well I'm new to the hobby but have already acquired, The Model Shipways shipwright set and have built the Dory and the Norwegian pram is under way.
Occre Polaris is also on the bench and I have finished the first layer of planking and I'm very pleased with my first effort.
I guess I should do a build log but I get carried away and forget to take photos.
Actually in the stash is Vanguard models HMS Sherbourne, Billings boats Will Everard (Thames barge) and Artensia Latina San Francisco II. Plus the third in the shipwright series the Lobster Smack.
I have just managed to stop myself from buying the new Model Shipways Phantom.
I won't mention the 40 plus plastic model kits of various planes and tanks I also have. :rolleyes:

Yeah, You're not far behind me. ROTF
 
Nice collections, but IF I could get all my stuff into one photo, it would have to be a wide angle shot.

I have way too many kits and plans set aside, and that don't count all the small boxes of HO scale model railroad cars and buildings waiting on a home layout.

I recently sold all my RC plane stuff. Built planes, partially built planes and some kits still in the box (those seem to be really rare now for RC planes).

It may be insanity.:) Looking at contemporary models, some of them leave off the rigging on the guns such as the two models at Preble Hall below.

Some, such as the model of the Minerva below, even leave off the guns altogether. I think most of us prefer showing the guns, but if the rigging is left off, it would not be a first.:)
