How to stop model building burn out?

[Jantrix]

Life in general seems to get in the way of building so I never seem to get there.

I plan my builds WAY in advance, so if I do get frustrated with one build I just grab up another.

Sometimes it's not model building, but hitting the wall on a specific project. I keep my 25 odd unfinished projects on the shelves directly above my bench. When I hit that point, I pull down some boxes and rummage. I'll find some detail that intrigues me and suddenly I'm working on that project. I may follow through to completion, or just finish a little bit and put it back up on the shelf. Still, I'm working on something and worked through my block. I have kits that have been on the bench many times and still aren't finished. But every so often I actually finish something.

When I do get the modelers block, as in I don't even want to go in the hobby room, I just shut the door and ignore it for awhile. Soon enough some event will get me thinking about building and I'll go back to it. As someone said, it's a hobby not a job.
