Hmmm..... What to build next?

[Mr. Moparman]

I am losing interest in the hobby and fast. I need to find something that sparks my intrest because I am sick of Mopars! Ford, out of the question, Chevy, maybe, foriegn cars, NO! Hmmm... final choice: Chevy. The Car? '67 Chevelle SS

NOW! THE REAL QUESTION!

How good is the Time Machine Resins '67 Chevelle convertible conversion kit? I am interested in purchasing it for this build I am planning that will (hopefully) bring my interest back. I am planning now to allow time for parts to arrive, etc. I probably going to build it after Christmas. Another question is how can I make this bring back my interest. You can comment, PM me, whatever!

LOL about the foreign car thing...I'm the same way.

[BOSWELL891]

Sometimes just taking a break for a while can bring back your intrest and spark you to start building again

you could always take up resin casting.....................................................

Great Comeback Dave !

As to Tim and Time Machine resins , I would say his stuff is nice . I met him in Winston Salem North Carolina and I was impressed on his appearance , ( Booth ) and the way he spoke as to me doing a job for him . Ed Shaver

[Kaleb]

Build a snap kit with mild custom, Don't be too picky about car brands until you drive one lol.

Already burned out on model cars? Try needle point!

[Wagoneer81]

When I get burned out, I change Genres (Commit Heresy?). If I'm burned out on cars and trucks, I'll build a ship in 1/350 scale, or a 1/35 or 1/72 scale tank or support vehicle, or... as I've been doing lately, build a few 1/72 scale airplanes. This is a good way to keep modeling even if you don't feel like doing your normal thing. I seem to change modeling subjects every several years. I never get rid of any of the 'other' kits, I just put them away until I get burned out again. The guys at the Muncie Modelers Club accuse me of having 'Modelers ADD' because my attention is so scattered among various subjects... It's just a thought... Have a good one!

i switched to building mechs im bored of cars priobably build a few of these also got a plane in the tubes

[Jantrix]

I find that when I losing interest in a project, I'll dive into the scrap bins and parts drawers and just start brainstorming until something clicks. It's usually followed by a lot of cutting, shaving and sanding. Sometimes it ends up like this.

Other times it ends up in the trash, but I still had fun doing it, and it was only scrap anyway.

How can anybody lose interest in building model cars/trucks? I've been building since 1958 and am still going. The best thing to do might be to send me all your kits and tools and be done with it.

[Dr. Cranky]

Yes, there you go build a rat rod or build a post apocalyptic vehicle. It's a great way to break the routine and have some great fun.

[diymirage]

seems to me there are two things i can do when im about burned out

the first is to get a simple kit (as mentioned) and ad zero detail to it

just slam something together so that after 48 hours you can put it on the self and say "there, i finished something"

another aproach is like Rob said, build something out of nothing

some of those type of projects i am working on are a deora converted into a hunting camper
