Thank you all very much!! I'm hoping my "new" laid back attitude will get more work done in the long run. ;D

Is this a variation on your normal "laid back" attitude or do you consider yourself more intense when it comes to building?

I find myself being more critical of my own work and that is a downer. I think I was trying to be (as far as modeling goes) someone other than myself, which is to say I was getting worried about what people thought of the quality of my work. I don't want to feel like I need to top myself or stick to a timeline. So, I've decided take more time on projects, because I don't want my hobby to burn me out. I sit down at the bench now maybe once a week to do a little here and there. I hope the fire will return regarding inspiration and determination, but for now, I'll settle for some warm embers to keep my projects moving forward....... ;D
Look behind you!

I will tell you sometimes slower is faster. While I was studying for a big national certification test and I would build or paint just ONE piece a day. glue A to B and walk away. then study. I actually made more progress doing a bit everyday than sporadic bursts. Just be yourself, you're good at that, and extremely talented to boot!  --Just for the record I feel like your worst day modeling is still better than my best!  :thumbsup: You are a Whif God with the marriage proposals to show for it LOL

I just have to make one of these myself someday... You are going to get so many double takes on this. You might even manage that cool trick where the more they look the more confused they become.  :cheers:

That's some beyond-incredible scratch-building, Eddie!

I bet you did it without an Opti-visor, too.
