Hi Everyone
Not sure if this was posted already, but forgive me if so. Not enough time to read through all posts and headings.
Anyhow, I would like to know how many other projects, besides the Bismarck everyone else is building simultaneously and what is the building projects names?
I am building the Bismarck, Flying Scotsman, Lancaster Bomber and Sun, Moon and Earth orbiter. I build according to my mood of the evening. For example, when I am very agitated or in a bad mood, I build the Flying Scotsman...
Pieter

My list is long and distinguished ! I have the Titanic waiting for the last 10 issues to be completed. Unfortunately that's at the back of the list at the moment.
I have a Bismarck, currently pushed to the background for the moment
I have a Lancaster which is plodding on slowly.
I also have a PG Gundam robot completed, but just needs a few evenings to add a few details. There is also a Korean fishing boat waiting for completion.....
I really wish I could buy a few extra hours in the day on Ebay ! Hopefully I'll pass my Open University exams in Oct, and then I'll have more time !

My Bismarck is about 10 issues off completion, plus the mods to the gun turrets to make them revolve and the guns to lift. I also have under way the paddle steamer Waverley, approx halfway to completion. In both cases the models have been put on hold since March, as I have developed an inturned left lower eyelid, which is very uncomfortable and makes close work nigh on impossible. Am still awaiting a date to get this fixed. In any case, I have always found that the long light evenings are a deterrent to model building as is the fine weather, it seems indecent to be working with an illuminated magnifying glass whilst the sun is shining! (well, thats my other excuse anyway!!). At least when it is raining, it feels natural to get on with indoor projects. I still read this forum daily though, as mentioned elsewhere, it is more than just Build the Bismarck forum, but a general chat and be friends as well. ;D ;D ;D Keep it going lads(and lasses).

Special memo to Mark: Ensure that you complete the Titanic by the year 2012, as that is a very special year being the 100th. anniversary of the loss of the ship. I am sure that year will show a huge interest in the vessel, and if you need to sell your model it would fetch a premium!! ;D (on the same basis, you have another 32 years to finish the Bismarck, and another 95 years for the Victory!!!)

Well never one to miss an opportunity..... i think the real ships were built quicker. And as for the iceberg - i think that was made far quicker...
Well suppose I can talk can't I?! The list of models I have is longer than most of the people backlog of models put together!

Grant, you mentioned that HMS Victory might soon be released in SA.
Just when I thought I might save some money on my models, another ship appears on the horizon.
Are you sure about the release in SA or is it still a 50/50 chance?
Thanks

Oh right, its all coming back to me, see what the 70s did, and they told me it would affect me in the future. Could just be early onset dementia, carry on.
