I just don't know where to start. I'm going to have to figure it out I guess. Normally I'd probably just whip out a new kit and start fresh. Not doing that. Have the F-4 on the go but I can't resume it until the one on my bench is complete. I've got five days to get it figured out. Yay me. Haha.

Pick a spot, do something, move on to something else small until you get into the swing of things.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Start with some "stupid" work like sanding, masking etc.
While doing it you'll slip back into da funk. :dancing:

Ahh, the classic 80% syndrome. You just got back from vacation. Don't model right away. take a day or 2 off, then you'll feel the urge to start again...hopefully within 5 days though.. :hmm:

I feel your pain, Jim. I finally had a day this past weekend where I wasn't working on the yard, house, car, etc... Sat down at the bench and stared. First at one project, then another, then another. Took most of the day to actually start to do something. Mostly because I couldn't remember my train of thought at the time I had stopped. Once I did start, the time flew and I had to put it all aside again.

Oh well.
Joe

Being away from the bench is a killer of motivation to be at the bench.
With work in full swing, I barely get any bench time...and when I do get a bit of free time...I just can't "get into it" at the bench, even though it's all I think about when I'm away from the bench. :hmm:

Is it December yet???
