Actually I thought ahead on that one. They each have their own sprue cutter, sanding sticks and brushes. Unfortunately they've been swiping my cement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow113 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 CAD learning curve flattening, Its all coming back form the '80's when I worked on router tables in sign shops. I managed to layout the work on this burl slice nicely: The heart is a 2 piece box and the rectangular chung for a model base. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 No wisdom from my side, yet it is good to sit back for a while and just observe the environment . Sometimes I forget that there is life outside etc. Break is good. My escape use to be nature, now it's running/jogging . Mike , your Dauntless looks mighty fine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure motivation will come, I'm kind of in the same boat as you are at the moment , mostly due to family stuff, and hospitals..... which has taken the zip out of me and fill my brain with other stuff...... But sometimes, I watch a movie I like usually an old one as most of the new ones don't really do much for me, and I can gain an idea or two from that....... and sometimes that doesn't work either.............. not much help eh Ryan? no worries, my wife says the same thing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have over a hundred of them in various stages. Here is some crazy spalted leopard spot maple for a base: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJTX Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 What's on my bench now is something I consider a philosophical victory. Yes, a Tamiya Mustang that's an easy build, but I see it as more. This is the first time I've ever modified a kit and scratch built parts. In the end it might not turn out the best, but to me it has become more about the journey than the destination. I am pursuing 2 new "skills" in scratch building and resin casting that I have given a wide berth until now. Getting over the fear of failure and pursuing my passion to a deeper level feels really good. I can honestly thank my friends here for the support, parts, and knowledge they continually share. So, what's on my bench? Fellowship, friends, passion, and self improvement. Its amazing what a little bit of plastic can do for a guy... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a nostalgia build? Something from when you were a kid that isn't too hard to find? I've done two in the last few years and kinda enjyoed the trip way back. Good luck!

Ryan Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Not sure if some of you are like this concerning model making, but I have to be "all in" on a subject choice. For example I will go for months on tanks and then go to AC over night and not even think about tanks until the AC magic runs out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
