He has lost interest in it, Him and I both started building preteen and he never stopped. I took a 10 or more year break. I think he will start building again but I think it's more that all he was building was Nascar kits and he needs to go back to building street cars....

BlackSheep214 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I know the feeling. I took a break from building for 25 - 30 years not due to boredom but to other endeavors - going out with friends, dating, full time job, marriage, & raising an awesome son. Now I’ve been back in the swing of things for the last 6 or 7 years now and have more time on the bench. It didn’t take me long to build up a decent stash again. Maybe a little time away from building will do him good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and just/mostly Gordon kits is limiting even with those aftermarket decals, not knocking Gordon. That's the magic of modeling, you can build anything you want so long as it is available.

How many race cars driven by Gordon does he really needs to build? No wonder he’s lost interest. He needs to snap out of this obsession and build something else besides NASCAR. Build muscle cars, dragsters/funny cars, trucks, street rods, etc.... Maybe he should try his hand at building aircrafts, armor, ships or even sci fI subjects. Open his eyes and show him there's more to life than building strictly Jeff Gordon related subjects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Wagon Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Well there’s a couple Earnhardt(Sr. & Jr.) cars and a Harvick car in there, but it’s still a sea of 24s... that would make just about anybody fall into a slump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRWDRVR Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah I told him he needs to start building more street cars, he started a Mustang of a car he used to own and is having a hard time building it too… He needs to find that thing that brings the spark back for him.. I started separating all the parts back into kits and I’m at 14 plus the 2 untouched kits so far… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
