not sure where I'm going with this - a bit of a what-if...

That look just so great Stuart !

And ah, this must be one of the older B737 series (100 or 200?), with those unique "sausage engines"

Just please continue with this project, it's very nice!

I have a feeling it's a 100, but I might be wrong - this is the old Airfix 1/144 kit that they re-released last year - my 11 year old Daughter gave it to me for my birthday last year so I really should finish it.

It does need a lot of work, the painting needs rubbing down and another coat added - filler under the engine pods, leading edges need doing in silver etc. and I was going to do all the windows and front screen with Glue n Glaze, hence why I scratch built the front window frames - I should cut out the windows above the pilots too...

Or I could paint strip it and do it in a proper civil scheme...

Yeah, a few WIP.

I work similar to Medic....I pretty much always have a few going.
If they're small, and all the same thing, I can have em all on the bench at the same time...otherwise, I'll stick one on the bench, when I'm ready for another, it'll get put back in the box (like in Medics pic) and set aside...not on the bench though.

As of right now, I probably have a dozen started...most just have a "head start" (some parts glued and sanded), so that when the work season is over, I can blast out a bunch! That said, I only have three going that are any kind of active. All three are 1/72 A-7's (Italeri, Testors, and Hobby Boss)...still only work on one at a time...on account of being cursed with being born with only two hands
I'll work on one, up to a point...back to the box, grab the next and get it caught up to the other....so on, so forth.

Yeah, you might only have two hands but you also have two feet...I've trained mine so that my toes almost work as well as me fingers...

I'm pretty "handy" with my feet as well (see what I did there?!!!)....but...feet are gross and belong on the floor!

WIP´s are many on my bench these days. Only doing pictures is not really what I am tempted to do. Made some first steps working on MENG´s 1/35 scale T-10M Russian battle tank, just to see how those non-glue working tracks are going to assemble.

I've got a few too. Been working on some more of my eight Modelling New Year's resolution builds. Getting closer to finishing at least one of the two that are left, and there's a ninth one I'm making progress on too. Stay tuned as I might have some pics up soon.
