Getting back in

[Germanjim]

Hello to all my modelling friends haven't posted anything for a while now so here goes
I've had a hard time getting back into modelling after the scrapping of my model railway layout. Since its scrapping I have sold 2/3 of my stock leaving enough to make a small layout at home. The fallout from the carry on from the fallout effected my general modelling as well, but recently found myself looking at unfinished projects.
Now have looked at a few and have found myself picking up scalpel and glue and seeing if rhere is any yearning to start, although not quite there yet it's getting closer to starting up again. My railway modelling side of me is still in a funk but I'll see how my general modelling goes before going in all guns blazing at it.
Due to what happened in my model railway club to me has left a bitter after taste with me.
So one day soon I'll have the bug back hopefully.

I understand how you are feeling, I recently went through something similar with shooting. Over the winter months I just found it hard to get up the enthusiasm to go out in the cold, although I found once I was at the range and behind the trigger I still loved it. To get out of the funk I decided to try something new so bought a pistol (all my other firearms are rifles) and learning the new techniques necessary for pistol shooting really got me enthusiastic again. Maybe you need to try something new in modelling?

That's one of the problems with hobbies, I think no matter how passionate you are about it, at some point there are going to be lapses of creativity or enthusiasm for whatever reason. It's the same with playing my guitar, sometimes I just have to really be in the mood, other times I pick it up and nothing meaningful happens, like with model making, sometimes I can spend hours at the bench and other times I make a start and I'm like 'nah can't be bothered today' I don't think I will ever give up though, I get so much out of it in the long run. Sometimes just looking at my completed kits and seeing the progress I have made from the early ones to the later ones is enough to make me want to go back to the bench and keep going.
