Stop one and start another
 

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. :D

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.

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.:eek:

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.
