Do you have "unfinished project syndrome"

Atlas van lines
540 size fast electric Rc hydro
Last worked on 2002 / 2003
Nice model most of the work done just sheeting the top and drivetrain
It's getting worse !!" alt="" />

I have "I'll fix that up/repair it later" itis...

Very good think I suffer from that too think I need help

Combat wing practically there just needs running up and balancing last worked on last summer did have it running but had problems with fuel leaks on that bee so work stopped never had its maiden ... Bless it " alt="" />

1/10 scale old school wedge hydro original plan was just hull but added detail on top cockpit v12 etc also just in need of finishing some filler doping papering and painting then finished Have the prop and props haft esc water cooling coil just need to build up a racy 11t single 540 motor for it should go like "s**t off a shiny shovel" when done original plan called for a micro switch to turn power on and off no throttle here it's all or nothing decided against that!! Especially as my local boating pond isn't that big should be good fun though
Last worked on in summer 2011 " alt="" />

I have 3 unfinished. Mostly due to being bitten by the CL bug. All the RC was set aside.

Dizzy.... I understand your pain... you should see my garage and plane room.

I'm glad it's not just me who suffers from this affliction
"the first step to beating addiction is admission"
Show me pics of your plane room to make me feel better
Note : I just raised my hand and said I have a problem does this mean I
Might start to get better ????

Nice try, but I doubt it LOL

I got 2 hanging in the basement needing a final coat of paint, and the wings installed. I blame the weather. I can't paint in the house. I also need fresh epoxy.

I was supposed to take the Christmas tree down last week. I can assign blame...

With my RC airplanes my glider sits with the RC kit half re-installed. I blame myself for putting it up 20 years ago with AA batteries in it, the result was obvious. I am going to try a modulated receiver in it when I get to it, hopefully before spring. I need to build a pod since there are no good hills around here.

Basement... oh man... I don't have a basement

My basement is kinda scary. This house is mostly crawl, with just a little basement that has the utilities and all the stuff we haven't unpacked since we moved in 4 years ago, all the stuff we need to store...

Yea, Basement. Another unfinished project. The builder didn't finish digging it 40 years ago!

Phil

hmmm.... I could have my boys start digging a basement LOL

Wow 40 years later my heart goes out to you man
You got it bad
We need pictures of those planes
Sharing is caring

OK. I can't find my pictures from while I was building it... I wonder if they are on the old computer.

They are Zingers, but I had a scale error on printing so the wing rib is a little bigger than it is supposed to be.

Bought the epoxy today at least. I need to find the thickening powders in the garage.

As for my hole, I mean basement, I have removed some dirt from it (when I installed a sump pump), but right now I am working on a ditch to direct water around my house. Hey, another unfinished project. My wife calls it my "moat" I shall hopefully finish it this next summer, or pay someone to finish it for me. Ground is a little frozen for digging right now. I have moved yards and yards of dirt on this "little" project, but I know this little ditch works since the sump only occasionally runs now instead of near constantly, and the floor stays dry too.

I would simply say I am pacing myself. SWMBO would disagree

My current excuse (besides weather) is I seriously underestimated how much space model building takes and this 10' x 11' reloading and model airplane room is too cluttered with all my accumulations.

Can't even start a new project much less finish any of the airplanes or plastic model cars I started last fall until I get off my butt and clean out my 30' X 40' auto garage and re-partition it so one end is heated and cooled for this hobby. SWMBO has approved the cash outlay to make it comfy and functional with new lighting, workbenches, cabinetry, proper tools, and storage racks (hanger space)

When weather is nicer I plan some before pictures and follow the project through like a new build

I plan an proper vented engine run cell as well as proper vented Doping / painting station

Now where did I hide the Rossi .45 I started to break in back in 1976.... OH there it is under the tins of Hodgdon's Universal Clays (reloaders will understand)

Hey phill that's very clever dig a trench around your house to "stop the water coming in" then put some deck chairs on the roof wait for the rain and have cox airboat races around your house!!!!!
Now that's cool your giving me ideas
Just have to pass it by the wifey !!

I understand my workshop is a brick out building 12x8 internally I find it difficult to find space to build anything at the mo .. Partly because I'm lazy and don't tidy up as much as I should
That sounds like an awesome project a purpose made modelling workshop I'm well jealous out of my reach but would love to see pics when u get round to it am thinking that's definitely a long term project ? Well worth the time and effort though good stuff

Another installment of my "ups"
This is quite recent last summer had the urge to build a "footy " class yacht scratch built no plans based on a cat boat lots of steaming and bending !! Even bought a kettle to help me ... Bend wood that is not make tea although ...." alt="" />
