i wonder if others have the same issue as im having now im really motivated to build, but i have a problem.... i just cant decide what to do next i have far too many kits but i dont want to part with them (before anyone asks) but i sit and look at the stash and i want to build them all but dont know where to start. the 152 should be finished today or tommrow but then the bench is virtually clear ( while i wait for some bits ) so dont know what to do |

When I hit that problem I always get my daughter to come to the stash and pick something. |

I usually go for something that can be built quickly. Gives me time to think, without wasting the mojo. And if I get fed up with it, then it won't end up as another shelf queen. |

I often have that problem, as I have so many ideas going around my head, and not enough time to build them. That plus my bench is very rarely ever empty.... |

oh yes. got it at the moment i tend to make a list of group builds on various forums i want to join in with during the year, but theres always empty bits between them and thats when i get stuck.....cos im not building for a reason.....does that make sense?......and i just sit looking at the stash thinking 'that looks interesting.....maybe.......what about that one?...maybe.......youve always wanted to do that one......maybe' tend to end up with half a dozen and still cant make my mind up and its made worse cos i like to mix things up and try not to do two of the same genre on the trot lol lol |

I agree with the quick and simple approach. A 'palette cleanser' pick something high quality but non complicated ( for me a Hasegawa 1/32 WW2 subject usually fits the bill) while you are building this one your next project will likely evolve in your imagination. |

Nice one Mark I was going to say I am always influenced by something I read or see and that pushes me to my choice. |

Convinced him? I had to hold him back as he kicked everybody else into touch to get them.

I once made the mistake of asking my wife to choose my next kit to build, as I couldn't get motivated. Each kit she chose was then subject (in my mind) to one or two reasons why it wasn't a good idea and would be impossible to construct. After a couple of days pondering, I just decided to take a break for a month and return to the bench when I felt fresh again. |
