ok weres my mojo gone to. i need to start building again but just havent got the heart to start. was looking over the stash i got to do. but cant decide on what to start with. i have a m 977-hemmit ,m 270 mlrs, and m 107 cyclopsy spg, m-110 a1 thunderbolt spg. so what would you start with ?[:D][:D]
I would proceed to your closest hobby shop and buy something new! Why not? Imagine the shelves full of kits yet to be assembled, overfilled with all sorts of dio ideas and paint schemes to be applied! Sometimes inspiration hides in kits and you have to buy alot of them to find it. Besides, it helps the economy.

Go read a book or magazine on war or weapons. Or watch a video. You might get back your mojo after that.
Good luck.
well ryan thier is one problem with the vist to the local hobby shop. we dont have one down here in savannah,ga. i am at the mercy of the internet and the white or brown trucks.[:D][:D]
That’s not bad Ga. Modeler. I just ordered a slew of Tamiya kits for 50% at ModelExpo. Unfortunately, there sale is over.
Ahh, I see. I have a sister who lives in Sale City, Georgia and I myself was stationed near Augusta. I can see your dilemma. Squadron was my life line when I lived in rural Louisiana. Good luck man…
chicken leg, chickenleg, mojo mojo, woooo
feel anything yet?
Look at the kits you have, and think about presenting them in a way that you wouldn’t normaly. Diorama? Fantasy paint job (i.e. paint a tank to look like a Nascar), super detail, etcc. Or lay them out and see if you can tie one in with a movie and go rent that movie. It could jog you into something and get the mojo going again.
You could box them up and put everything away for a bit and not even think about it. You’ll go back if you want to build something, or not, then nothing lost.
Remember why you bought them in the first place. I’m sure you had an idea when you laid your money down.
Give yourself a deadline. Pick one and decide to build it in a period of time. Stick to it like it was a contract build or as a gift. Pick a local contest and build to make it into that contest. You don’t have to go, but if you carry through you’ll have something to enter.
I promised myself, that I would not buy anything new till I finished at least 3 of my backlog kits. Amazing what you can accomplish if you remain honest with yourself and keep a personal promise, especially if there is a kit you want really bad.
Start up a GB with one of your kits as a subject. There’s always one going on and I know I used the Sherman build to keep me focused and going in a direction that I accomplished something. Especially if there are others “virtualy” working along side you.
Good luck.

Box them up and mail them to us, ha ha! Go to the local library and check out some war books with lots of pictures! That always works for me![:D]
Use the M270, that’s a sweet one!
