OH Barry if it was me id have just made the uncart stronger or turned it into a flyin one how many now have you binned ?I’m not really into dios Chris. Besides it is already broken up and sitting at the bottom of a bin….
WOW Barry many thanks for your exsplanation an yes i to build cos i enjoy it too like you but as i can use my model an due to their size they will get used for about 4 yrs or so then sold so no binning for me but when i was a whole lot younger used to shoot them planes or ships or up with an airgun or bangers so i suppose its a way of binnin them an yes i do now understand what you are sayin AN OK HAPPY BUILDING SIRChris. I build a model for the enjoyment of the build and I am not bothered about keeping the kits for display. Or selling them.
Currently I have three 1/48’s on display and 9 1/32 kits.
I have regularly thinned out my completed kits on display, binning the older ones or those I am less pleased with.
I have completed 70-80 builds in all,
a dozen or so of these are in a museum. I keep the photos on my p.c. of all the completed builds.
So the answer is that I have binned around 50 completed models but I still have the photos. Sadly the P61 is the only completed build I don’t have photos of, and it’s that lack of photos that annoys. I could have propped it up while photographing but I am a bit of a perfectionist and do not want that among my photos.
On top of those, incidentally, I have had 9/10 models that I did not complete, a couple where I cocked up, a few where I lost interest due to poor fit or engineering, one where I dropped it onto a concrete floor, one where major parts were missing and I could not get spares leaving it unfinished. Again I don’t keep a shelf of doom as I don’t want clutter and know I won’t return to a stalled build so these get dumped.
HI Paul this model is now binned due to poor strucal strenghtBeautiful work Barry. The internals look excellent. The shading, pin-washing etc all exemplary.
Looking forward to the progress

Oh Barry, what a pain in the arse, sorry to hear this had to be binned. I think sometimes you can just about go as far as your patience takes you then move on, I did it with a old monogram panther. The decals were horrible and the plastic was so think and horrible, I just fell out of live with the kit, weren't enjoying it and sacked it off in the endI don’t think that would be practical Andy. No, I have already broken it apart and binned it. Onwards and upwards….
If I recall correctly he posted a while ago to say he was only going to post completed builds..... And possibly only a selection at that....HI BARRY what happening to your builds havnt seen you on here for a while

I mentioned that I will be posting only complete builds for a while. But, for any kits that are of particular interest I will post a full build. An example will be the Border Lanc that I will do as a full build. Right now I am concentrating on getting through this series of 1/48’sHI BARRY what happening to your builds havnt seen you on here for a while
