I look at it as not failure or giving up I see it as a learning experience. There’s many many reasons to stop this build and start another and I won’t bother you guys with the psychological but, here goes a few.
The Scale is too small for my liking. I don’t want to deal with very small work I did enough of that with my plastic ship modeling. I Never should have taken the “shortcut” of trying to save time by making my frames with the Hahn method. I should have cut them all out the proper way like I did with the Blandford section. This was the biggest mistake. I think I even knew it then but I did it anyway. I really wanted to build a solid hull ala Dr Mike or plank on thick frame ala Igor but I thought the plank in frame open style would be more appealing to me. It isn’t. I wanted to do this particular ship because of the practicum as I didn’t want to go into a build without detailed instructions. Other than that the subject didn’t really interest me. I could go on but you get the idea.
Very true Tobias if it’s not fun there’s no sense. I’ve had a few projects before that became a chore instead of fun and I didn’t think twice about just scrapping it and starting something new. Thanks to Dave at The Lumberyard for the wood. The remainder will get used in my next project. I’ve been researching and reading a lot so I just have to narrow it down to which ship I want to tackle next.
