The backlog, the pile of shame, the mountain of grey plastic. There are many names for it, but we all know what I am talking about here. We have or have had a hobby backlog in our lives as we get over-ambitious about our projects, having a strong FOMO over that new release, and many other reasons to be sure. Having more models unopened than you might ever get to paint or play with is nothing to be proud of in my book nor is it passion. It is a lack of discipline and requires a change in our thought process as a community. Regardless of how your backlog came to be and how you feel about them, I am here to tell you today that you need to get rid of it one way or another. Doing so is a favor to yourself and one that will give you more enjoyment from this hobby we all love.
