discussion Modeller in crisis!

[Guest]

It also has been known to happen in my face while being interogated by my Wife as to what , why and how I ended up with a new model. You know, the one you just have to have:cheeseygrin:

WHAT!!!!! You get caught by the wife bringing in new kits! oliceman:oliceman:

I do my best to sneak them in, making sure she's busy in the kitchen or hide them in my trolley that I use to carry my boxes of models to shows. She only sees the ones she knows I'm getting, not the impulse buys or the ones I planned to get but didn't tell her about.:winkingshades:

Alex, I can't see that you have anything to seriously worry about! If there's nothing about your modelling that takes your fancy at the moment, put your stuff away and go do something else. (We'd miss you if you dropped out of our world completely though!) All hobbies are about finding ways to fill your spare time enjoyably. If you're not enjoying it, then it's no longer a hobby but a chore.

The only thing I would advise is to keep all your stuff - your tools, paints and, above all, your stash if possible! You only have to look at the number of guys joining this forum to see how many people come back to modelling. Sometimes after a fairly short time, sometimes after many years! You'd be annoyed if you had to go and spend a fortune to re-start your modelling! :lol

Luckily, my wife never ventures into my workshop, and I stack my un-built kit stock in a way that they hide the ones behind them.:lookupthere:

Mind you, she did catch me once...:guilty:

I left a receipt for a 1/12th scale Ferrari Tessarosa in my pocket :hmmm: when she emptied it to wash them.....:nonono:

And I hid the box in the car boot for a week before sneaking it into the house! :whatever::whatever::whatever::whatever:

Slupanter; Summer is the worst for me but my biggest problem is finding a part that doesn't want to fit right.(see yesterdays post.) Gets downright depressing and the kit would sit for days or even years and I would play solitaire for a couple of weeks. Until I found this site and all the great help from everyone, I would go into my stash of half builds (getting smaller very slowly) and see if I could belabor a part in position. Sometimes a small success gets me back in the mood. Good luck...Geo

I usually leave me builds even if I am half way through if the interest starts to wain, Usually after a few days away from the build, I am itching to get back at it. This way the break makes me want to complete the thing.

As far as being caught by the wife and new kits, well now all I get is, "When are you going to build that" ................................:lol
