No nay never… My build scopes are all in the noggin, and subject to change on a moment’s notice depending upon what I am “into” at the moment that inspiration strikes. For me the hobby is all about emotion and creativity, and that can change over time. Also, for me

Broader modeling question: Do you prepare a 'build sheet' for your projects? Or just wing it?
- no build sheet or advance planning. All the kits in my stash are there with the "intent" to build
- I do a build sheet for each of my projects...

    - Sorry… this was meant to be a response to Ragtop’s original post. *NM*
    - Mark C., I'm with you. *NM*
  - Like SoCal and Tim, I do build sheets, detailed paint lists, parts sources, and an online bookmarks folder with reference vehicles *NM*
- Funny you should bring this up. At the KKIM meeting yesterday, we came across a very detailed build sheet loose in a box, with no idea what kit it would be for. There were clues, but nothing concrete. *NM*
- Build sheet, notes, what is needed, what has been aquired, and a sketch plus reference photos. *NM*
- On rare occasions I create some type of a build sheet.... Typically though, it actually works out better if I just go with the vision in my head. *NM*
- I make notes, paint references, etc. on the instructions mainly because I start everything and finish very few--forget what's been sitting for years. *NM*
- Not a build sheet. I get ideas all the time, I'll print a pic of a car or kit to use as a base, and jot down notes of what I want to do (kitbash, body mods, change of parts, etc.) and add it to some folders for whenever I get around to it; sometimes soon, sometimes years...
