I have been working on the Dumas Crockett for about 4-5 months now while taking out for my two sons. The Crockett has a lot of detail and takes a long time to build if you take your time and try to do everything just right. The problem is I am getting burnt out on this model but at the same time I think I would like to start the Dumas Trojan and I "think" I would have the energy. Does this thinking make sense, I know others have done this. Does this work.

It's normal. Most modelers never finish. They get 90% done and start another kit.

Try building two boats at once! One building season (winter) I built one for myself and another for my son to race, he got a .21 and of course I got the .45 mono. He lets me drive my boat once in a while.
Scale ships are a lot more detailed that what I make, I've seen some with some much on them they'd drive me over the edge trying to put all of that work into one.

One of our presadents once said don,t give up and you will sucseed. I beleave his name is Kalven Coolage.

I do plan on finishing the Crockett. I plan on putting it up for a month or two, with the exception of. installing the running gear and radio so I can run it. The next boat I would like to build is the Trojan, a lot less detail.

I never stop building any of my boats, however each of them seem to need
more work or detail every time I see a picture or new image of the actual ship.
I think I have four in progress.

I try to treat detail areas on the boat like "mini kits".
Build a crane today, or two fire monitors or the mast, or the railings.
