Too many SIGs for my own good

I've just had a minor re-organisation in the man-cave, mainly so I can get some more books actually on the shelves - well, you can never have too many books. But one consequence of this will also helps me in my quest to keep building and not to let things languish: the "shelf of doom" is a mere fraction of the size it was, it's full up with two kits on it, and I can't put any more on until I finish one that's already on there. Cunning, eh?

That's a plan, I'd bet everybody has two or three contenders (mine is about a dozen). Any takers on this idea? peebeep |

Well, it's confession time ... I have had a Gnat sitting waiting for me to get the hang of the florescent paint. No big deal, but it was in the window. The last time I looked, it had disappeared. Yep - puff ... in the flash of your eye - disappeared . When we move the bench in a couple of weeks I fully expect it to reappear just under one of my feet and I hope I see it in good time

This was a sort-of new year's resolution for me. I say sort-of as I decided on a clear up happening over the Christmas holidays, it's still ongoing though. No new kits started, with three part-builds just getting their finishing touches now. Cheers, Bill. |

I have 2 kits that I will need some form of 'inspiration' to finish (both helicopters!). A Shelf of Doom GB could be the answer.... Grant |

Good Lord, 39 wips....blimey. Perhaps I should start a few, then bugger off so that I am in the same boat. Feeling left out. |

I wonder what is the longest running (or not) project on the shelf of doom? Cheers, Bill. |

A shelf of doom GB sounds great. And for those of us that build at the frantic pace of an arthritic glacier can replace our unfinished builds on the shelf if we don't finish in the allotted time, ready for the next S of D GB. Simples
