but it does happen. I was scrolling through my old photos and was having fun looking at my progress photos. Modeling is a crazy process of inspiration, mock up, fabricating, problem solving, parts scrounging, sanding, sanding, sanding, painting and then one day, the last part is on and it's done. Some of these projects were stalled for a very long time, years even.... and I have more in-progress stuff, but rolling through the photos made me think that there is hope. One day they will ALL get built, right? When I'm in the middle of a build and thinking, what the heck am I doing? I run through my built ups and push myself to finish... Here's a few shots for the heck of it... and to motivate me this week. Name Game contest: rough-outs..    Finally done:   Brain fart thrash and point of no return:   and done:  This one fought me for a while, probably three years... and was painted SIX freakin times... it was so close to being stomped into bits. So close.  but I won:  And another:   I say I will never build another IVO kitbash after doing the exhaust pipes, but I probably will. That's what I said after doing the Rum Runner.  I worked on this one for several years, also, trying to get the right parts together:   but it now lives:  Soooo.... in the future, who knows? These guys might get a chance to live:    This one has been kicking around for nearly a decade:   Aahh..... one day.  |

Here's another one, the "Forgotten Biker" trike. It IS in a box in my closet, I found it the other day while going thru some stuff! But, it hasn't progressed beyond what you see here.....   I got some drybrush lessons from Fred!!!!  |

This is a great link to look at! Thanks guys!
Actually the build I'm working on now. . . . came to mind almost four years ago. . . . and I'm just getting the guts to start it!
Remember it's just plastic!
