Well, there you have it. All of my current WIPs. I realize I have a lot that were started way back in 2021. I wanted to participate in MAYnia that year, and I started a bunch before I realized that I really only like to focus on a couple of projects at a time. I am currently focusing on "The Library," "Sea to Shining Sea," and "Ornamental Alphabet." As I finish those, I will choose others to work on until they are complete.
I do have quite a few projects in line and kitted up, but not yet started, and I am eager to begin those as well. I plan to do a kit video soon on my Youtube channel, as well as a finishes parade, so be sure to look out for that.
