Can't get motivated.

Hi John,
I cannot tell exactly in this area (scale modeling) but I believe it affect all hobbies.
I remember coming out and back in to 3d modeling software, Blender.
I believe it is just like waves, come and go.
Hope you will get inspiration soon but do not push it, it will come back naturally. :smiling:

Don't worry, John. This is a hobby, as Tim stated, so no deadlines and no expectations from no one but from your own self.
Gardening and house maintenance are subtracting almost 99.9% from my bench-time, but that's what happens every springtime... and that's a fact (a thing you have to live with), not a problem (a thing you are able to solve) so I have to live with it, even when (and if) the call of the glue is loud and the Force flows fiercely through the sprues. :rolling::smiling4:
See you soon on the light side, Master John...:tongue-out3:

John....
I lost all urge to model in 2020, many other things going on, i did start 5 builds last year, but the start was all i did, this year my mojo has returned, along with inspirational club meetings again, a sort of normality has returned..... One is still not at peak performance but I'm getting there......
It will return, like McArthur lol

:smiling3:, glad to know I'm not alone. I've had short spells before as we all do from reading the replies. At the moment , although interested in what every one else is doing I don't want to do my normal thing .So the idea of something none military in a peaceful setting does appeal, the problem as I've discussed with Dude 1 is there is not a lot of choice . I am looking more to doing the facades of shops and cafes than loads of cars , vans and people, though a few would liven up the scene. The place would be in 1/35 , France , around the 50s so there is a Tamiya Simica that would do for a vehicle. Tables and chairs can be made , posters on those typical French tube like objects found. It's just a few people suitably dressed are needed, so any ideas please say .

Although I have the " Dusty Bin " diorama to do and the Mossy groups build getting ideas for the French diorama will I'm sure bring back the Mo Jo. The only way is foreward .

Just one answer , Jakko gardening is another world :nerd::smiling3::smiling3: just as much fun .
Was going to thank everyone individually but the page would be so long .
John .

Thanks Tim, suppose I could do a church entrance as well showing the Father at the door and the old guy waving to him from across the road ! The others are perfect. I thought there was a MiniArt group of people sitting at a
street cafe with a waiter ? think the dress would be ok , as could always move the date to suite.

Knew I had seen something, went to Scale mates and found this.



Unfortunately no one has it, no doubt because of the conflict .These and the ones you showed would be prefect.

Hi John
A section of a typical French street. A cafe, a bicycle leaning up the wall, etc. Set in the 50s. I think MiniArt or someone does a delivery van ???? The building itself would be the main part - right up your street with your skills in modelling buildings.
