Hi everyone, I am undecided as to what project I should start next. Soooo, I thought it would be cool to let my fellow modellers vote to help me decide. Below is a little background on each of the four contenders.
1) The RoG Bismarck was this year's christmas gift from my wife. I have never built a surface ship, and was not all that interested in building this one at first. In fact, I was going to trade it for a group of 1/48 scale aircraft until my oldest son told my wife what I planned. She expressed disappointment that I did not like the present, we have been married 21 years now - and knowing which buttons to push - she said, "Well I guess it is too hard for you to build because it has all those parts. So go ahead and trade it for something easier." With those two sentences, she made sure I
WOULD build this kit, shrewd.
The more I look at the box, the more it grows on me; and my interest has now been sparked. I have ordered Eduard's "Railings and Turrets" detail set. Other then that, I plan to do an OOB build for this kit. This would be a long term build due to the size of the kit.
2) CMK's Control Room would be the third of four builds that I am working on for my Type VII uboat project. I would be putting the same time and scratchbuilding effort into it as I did for the two previous builds. The Control Room would be one part of a large project; and like an elephant, you have to eat it one bite at a time!
3) I have wanted to build Tamiya's He-219 for a while now. I have the Aires cockpit kit for this model and a couple of other small aftermarket sets. The build would include a simple diorama base with a figure or two. The build would be fairly straightforward with, hopefully, no fuss or muss.
4) The Pak has been built and painted, all it needs is weathered, for a few years now, and it has been sitting in a box waiting for an idea from me to finish it. I also have several figures that are very nearly complete, they were to be used for a build that just did not turn out at all, to use in a diorama. The idea is to put the Pak in a firing position, with the infantrymen around it to give close in protection; prehaps in a trench, prehaps not. The scene would depict the Pak and infantry preparing to engage an approaching enemy.
I look forward to your votes!
