Please tell me i'm not the only one who signs up for every campaign that they have got a model for in thier stash .
This is a pic of the next 6 months projects, DOH.
Starting from the top,
IJN Kirisma, half built, Dreadnoughts campaign.
Mustang P 51C, Show your teeth.
Mig 17, Siya Africa.
Pibber, Welcome to the Nam.
Mitsuibishi "Betty", Bombs away.
Aichi B7A2, "Gary Beebe" Flatops.
Ural 4320 truck, Wheels.
M1A1 HA Abrams, Modern Armor.
Not in pic a nearly done M60 A3, Patton Campaign.
So what do you think of the chances of me finishing these in the allotted time .

Cheers (i should be building and not on here) Andy (++)

I've gone through a nice 12 step program and have gotten myself out of the cycle.
It's hard and it takes time :-)

I used to be just like that.

Yep that is pretty much me, never met a group build I didn't like

BTW that has become one of my New Years resolutions, to finish all the builds I sign up for (which in reality means at least 50% ). I'm trying a two step method, first: don't sign up unless there is a realistic chance I can finish it and second don't sign up with really compex builds unless I have been good about following step #1.

Same here! Had to bite the dust in some campaigns....
I liked the T2K idea for 2005 very much, had everything in stock, but just could not begin with it....

Now I just limited myself in campaigns... as long as I can... :-)

wow first time i see someone physically tag their kits with the end dates. I can see now the different levels of addictions.

Just remember to enjoy yourself while you are at it. If you find that you churning out models just to meet deadlines then you are putting yourself through unnecessary stress. Do it because you love it not because you have to. Just my 0.02.

I'm actually looking forward to building every kit apart from the Abrams. I don't know why, it might be because its modern, i don't want to mess it up or even i just don't fancy it at the moment, but it will get built one day . I always tag my kits for campaigns, otherwise i sit there looking at it thinking " what is that one for ? "
Glad to see I'm not alone though :-) .

I used to do this, but after not finishing several campaigns, I only enlist in a couple that I have a genuine interest in. I have finished over a half dozen official campaigns and a couple of non-official group builds. I have finished more GBs than I have not finished. Sometimes I just over extend.
