I like to try and put a little of my heart into each build these days. If you don't love it than why do it? (unless someone is paying you) My club had a theme to build something out of your comfort zone one month and I chose an F14 I purchased at a garage sale for 10 cents. It was fun at first when I was painting it then, when I started painting the missiles I started feeling ill. I decided to change it to a race plane and at the end felt like it was a waste of good paint. Bottom line, I will never build another military model. It went in the trash can when I got home. As for me, I will stick to what I truly love. As for model gifts, they will have the same fate as the F14 unless I truly love them, or just they will sit on the shelf.
