loftycomfort Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi guys, My current F-15I build is in painting stage, and I hope to wrap it up in November. This gives me 2 to 3 months or so to squeeze in one more build before our first baby due in February. As some of you may know, one can forget about building models (or sleep) when there's a new-born in the house. With the hectic diaper-changing and feed sessions, I doubt I'll have time to build any models for at least a few months. This upcoming build could be the last one for me for a while, so I want to make it good. The Cutlass was a gift from SWMBO. It's a beautiful full resin kit of a very unique jet that I've been itching to build. The F-100 would be done up in the awesome CAM TBirds decals. I built the same kit OOB a couple of years ago (finished it in a month) and I had a blast! I wouldn't at all mind building another one but with some extra resin thrown in. Again, I can't promise you I'll build what you guys decide. I can't even promise I can build it at all. But it'd nice to know what you guys think, and build polls are fun!

Supertom Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Everybody's (well, almost) built a Hun. Few have done a Cutlass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishGreek Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'd say Cutlass. SWMBO got it for you, you can say you are building it honor of her and your new family together. Score points where you can! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I love your optimism! Not the fact that you plan to do up either of these above-average complexity projects in a few months... but the fact you are hoping to be back building in a few months. I ended up taking a break for several YEARS after our kids were born, 14 months apart. Good luck with your choice, with the build, and of course with the new baby when it comes!

ALF Good points Alf, I was personally away for about 12 years... Nice to be back. Good luck Terry. Either way, the kids are worth it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Boss lady is giving you a baby, if your smart you will build the model she gave you. Cutlass!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 You guys made a good point that the Cutlass is the "politically correct" kit to build. I really need to take a closer look at the parts and instructions to see if it's feasible to build it in a couple of months. On the other hand, the Hun is kind of a known entity because I've already built it once. As for being optimistic that I can start building again after a few months of the baby's birth: my work schedule is different form most people's, which allows me to build at the rate that I can.
