    i started planning and saving for a new kitchen last february and every payday bought something else, a unit here, a sink there etc, nearly bought every thing i need (couple of worktops left) .for the last five months i have stripped down to brickwork,drywalled, tiled, done electrics, taken floor out and renewed (woodworm), been doing this for every spare hour i have had all on my own and subsequently have not touched a model since christmas.......missing it so much but cannot sit down while my house is like a building site, so my modelling slump is forced on me. guess thats why i have not been posting much......hopefully in another three weeks it will be all finished and i can get some serious work done.

      Andrew, just think of it as a full scale model of ...er...a kitchen. Stick on a few spare decals where the boss won't spot them.

        .... and DON'T do any weathering when you've finished the painting!

          I have some water pipes that need moving. To get to them I need to go it through the kitchen ceiling..... I look at it often and then get back to the model building. :laughing:

            i sealed myself into the room with plastic sheeting whilst taking down the ceiling and knocking the plaster of the walls, so why the hell is there still half an inch of dust around the whole house, cleaned it all out three times now and i am sure someone is creeping in at night and putting it back.

              Hi Tony

              I think we've all been there at some time or other. One little trick I've found works for me is to break the tasks down into smaller parts. If you approach these individual tasks (however small) and finish these really well it's amazing how the whole model comes together. With the satisfaction of finishing these small tasks you can overcome that overwhelming feeling of 'so much to do...'

              As the replies to this thread show though, you're not alone in this!

              hope you get yer modelling groove back soon

              Cheers Paul
