New Years Modeling resolutions for 2023

Post by KalebB »

So as you all know New Years is quickly approaching and the tradition is to usually have some sort of resolution. Something you wish to improve or change about yourself or life. Generally I don't ever have one but I thought it would be fun this year to choose something to do with scale modeling and how I can change how I do my hobby.

I think my resolution will be a two parter.

The first half is just I want to model more, I haven't had the time or just will to do much this past year from outside factors and that's something id greatly like to change asap.

The second part is stepping outside my comfort zone scale model subject wise. Those who are familiar with me here know I almost exclusively do Soviet/Russian armor and I would like to change up it up a little this coming year. Maybe doing a GB I'm not familiar with or something.

So hey if you have a scale model resolution you'd like to share I'd love to hear from you, cheers! :cheers2:

I am thinking I will fit a bright light UNDER the work bench to make it easier to find dropped parts - and maybe a soft surface on the floor to stop them bouncing everywhere.
And find a way of properly displaying built models effectively.

    On the board now:

    Airfix 1/35 Alvis Stalwart Mk2 FV622
    Hasegawa 1/48 A8 Crusader

    I have a buddy build to do that been pushed to the back burner due to other commitments for the last 2 yrs.
    I want to push past my procrastinations a lot quicker that cause a loss of mojo.
    I've been outside my comfort zone a lot this year and would like to get back to my roots more in armour this year....have a easy year, but
    practice a few new techniques I've employed this year too to give them a little polish.

    :cheers2:

    Neil that light under the desk idea is quite good, I may steal that myself. And absolutely Digger definitely get back into some more armor :dance: :cheers2:
