Must stay focused and motivated post Expo!


Seriously thinking of building my three Yak-50/52's all together - build one or build 'em all? It could be the start of Adam's "Yak factory"! Torn between starting so many different projects - ARGH!

You could call the build blog / thread "Yakkety Yak"

You know what, I think I'm going to do the Yak thang! I've always done the "one at a time" building thing and I think the best way to boost my productivity is to embrace that wondrous thing that Henry Ford came up with and "mass produce" my Yaks. With lots of red and white on these models, it's going to help refine my gloss and polishing skills prior to taking on the RB.

In honour of my Yak ride (and very near explosive discharge of stomach contents!), the build title will be "Hard Yakka".

I couldn't agree more...but see here is the problem with that theory:

















And all these are in addition to the projects currently underway in my opening post....oh, and I still have a shit-load of other refurbs on the go as well.
Don't end up like me....I clearly have a serious problem

TRO, Good Grief!! I thought I was bad at starting and not finishing.

And why the hybrid 707-300?

It's like a Chinese restaurant with all the ducks hanging in the window...

Ray, you and I have the opposite issues. I guess the happy medium is somewhere in between. Perhaps just focus on one or two builds at a time just to finish them. Looks like you have a bunch not far off painting. I like this line from Star Wars - "Your focus determines your reality". Point taken on the mass production thing. I simply don't have the spare time in any case - surrounded by too many demanding females!

But wait...there's more.
The afore-mentioned refurbs awaiting completion!!!, (although many have progressed from these photos)









































OK....now this is REALLY embarrassing!!!

why the hybrid 707-300?

Hi Leigh,
I am trying to create the best possible 1:144 Boeing 707-300 as recommended in a magazine.
It is "Frankin-Boeing" for sure, but here is how it pans out.
Best wings = Minicraft
Best Fuselage = Welsh
Best engines = Contrails

You have "Completion" issues Ray!
