Colin, you want me to start yet another topic?
At the moment I'm plodding along with repairing this ruddy trawler, and basically hating every minute of it. But the "thing" that keeps me going is that "someone" caused this damage and I'm not going to let him/them get away with it. This is "doing things twice"....and not nice. The worst thing that can get into your mind is that things that you don't like doing will finish up looking rather second-rate because of that mind-set. A funny conundrum. But not "funny" as in ha-ha-ha.
My favourite bits are those concerned with superstructure and other parts that when made and fitted sort of lift the model from being just an inanimate "lump" to something I can imagine myself walking around and doing my "sailoring" bit. If I can do that then as far as I'm concerned I've got the job about right.
However, if in my miniature form, I find something that is not "sailor-proof" or unworkable I get bloody annoyed and have to "make it so". So I try to get it right the first time around. Takes thought and the ocassional swig of the Laughing Cavalier as a calming influence.
I like making the "old style" wooden bridge fronts and the superstructures...no matter how many windows there are. BY.
