So, this is something many of us can relate to: models that we've put a lot of time and effort into but they're simply not progressing for various reasons (read: excuses). Maybe it's time we each post our own collage of models that are coming along (for YEARS, in some cases, eh?) but need a nudge to get going again?

Thanks for reminding me - maybe it is time to do a revisit of the Phoenix GB!

I doubt there's enough bandwidth available for a comprehensive review, and that's just MINE!  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That's a good idea, now how the heck do I make a collage ??  :banghead:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Maybe I should just post a link to pictures of my modelling room and be done with it rather than pictures of the models that I have started but not completed !!

That would also work for my work bench up in the loft.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Too big. Too much information. Too many numbers. Too much bandwidth. AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

I have the same problem, or is it a problem? I just find that I like to have several projects "cooking" and pick them up or put them down as I please. I'm still on with the Defiant variants, but it is the Meteor stuff that I find the most interesting right now. And by the looks of things you have quite a few interesting projects on the go...............

You could do an analogue collage instead: place all of your projects on a table and take a photo.

JHM,
So of those I remember but many I don't ever recall seeing, Husky, Viggens, Tanks (that one looks close, do it first), an A-4 and Panther mix and several of those other ones.

This is a very good starting point for free online photo-editing software:

It's coming, mon ami.  Canopy masking tonight then hit it with first coat of primer and see what that finish is like.

[Edit: just attached the canopy pieces and the aft one is under a lot of pressure and keeps wanting to pop out of their 1950's style locating holes.
I'd rather not cut the pins as they're the only thing holding the canopy to the correct width. And there are plenty of gaps between the clear pieces which I'm filling with Microscale's Kristal Klear window maker.   So, it's sitting tightly under strong tape overnight.  No canopy masking for painting tonight]

I've got a bad cold which is terrible for the gym  :-\ but great for building models.  :thumbsup:

I'll start getting mine together, but mine can probably squeeze into one frame. =-)

Can't do the montage bit, but here's my hall of shame:

EDIT: discovered that Photobucket has a montage tool, but they call it "collage":
