Mayday.....

I always try to pick models that are a bit inspirational. So anything Fleet Air Arm, British 1939-1969 or ugly/a bit unusual. Having said that, I have a half-built Sea Fury that I have nothing but apathy for. I started it a while back, got a base coat on, and have had no desire to work on it since.

I am rather excited about payday though, as I will be exchanging my readies for a Revell 1/72 T-2 Buckeye (it's naval, albeit American) and a Smer Amiot 143 (do they get any uglier?). Also got a Gannet and a Novo Gloster Javelin in the stash, both of which I am looking forward to, even if there is a certain amount of trepidation about taking on the Javelin!

Take a deep breath and go for it....you'll do ok!

Almost lost motivation today BUT have a quick look at this photo and I'm motivated again. Whose the handsome guy in the cockpit?

I think its an FBI pic of that kid who stole a plane and crashed it in the Bahamas. Yeah, "the Barefoot Bandit"!

Kept whining 'it's not a B-25, it's a B-17!.....it's not a B-25, it's a B-17!'

POLAND? if i am going to invade anyplace or start a revolution its got to be warm, sunny, white sand beaches, crystal blue water, hot women, and have its own rum company.

Yup, Poland. And then I get funny ideas about invading Norway, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium, and then ponder a possible invasion of England - and then adding Italy, Japan and Russia as my ally.
Now you know why I don't like to listen to Wagner.

Hmmm, come to think of it, it is rather obvious that Hitler never tried to play RISK, innit?

I'm invading the Bahamas with my newly aquired B-25

I need to seek help! This cronic Startus Notfinishitis closely related to another variant of the Startus family...Changeitis Halfwayticus.....

Workload and weather is seriously doing a number on my inspiration! Almost done with the two '109's, fiddling with the decals, which is always fun, as the birds get their identity......poooof! Gone! Haven't touched them for, what.....two weeks now!
...and the Princely '88? Same there....vamoooosh...gone!

But, hang on... here's the kicker..... I've recently more and more been digging in my two Sherman tanks, eager to start on one of them....I mean, wtf!? Now I'm confused!

With the post on the New Purchase thread I can understand why.

Some times, that is just what you need to do, build something different for a while, your aircraft inspiration will come back.

When I get "burned out" on aircraft, I'll go and build cars for a while, until I get burned out on them, then back to aircraft.

 

[Lucky13]

Maybe I should try that then...

Cheers!

Now now old chap, you know what will happen, don't you? You'll get part way through building a Firefly, then start on a Tiger, then there'll be another two models part built!
Finish the '109's at least, then, if you're a good boy, you can start on one of the clanky clank thingys for Christmas. Now, it's your round .......

 

[Lucky13]

Thinking the same old boot...finish at least the '109's before anything else...

 

[Wayne Little]

The modellers curse strikes again.....finish those 109's mate!!

 

[Lucky13]

Yup....I mean, I'm at the decal stage...would be like falling on your face at the finishing line otherwise!

 

[Lucky13]

Well, seeing that I've got my internet back, being caught, getting a new straightjacket and lovely new padded room in this friendly clin.....never mind, might just be the boot in the rear end I need to get going again on some, eeerrmmmmm....of my projects!

 

[Airframes]

get stuck in old chap.

 

[T Bolt]

I'm sure you have one or two unfinished kits laying around Jan

 

[Lucky13]

Two, aye.....tops!

c'mon slacker...kick yourself in the butt...and go for it!
