Difficult to keep up, or is it just me?

Well I definitely struggle to keep up, although sometimes I don't post for long periods, because either I have not been at the bench, or I've got very little to show for my time there. It leaves me feeling a bit guilty because I'm not building, so I don't check in.

Understandable. But Don't feel guilty!! Please do check in even if you can’t get any bench time at the moment!!

I'll do that mate, cos I miss the bull from you crazy bunch of glue and plastic tragics.

Plastic tragedy is actually the name of all my builds. 😂🤣

I guess I was just feeling a bit guilty for not having more to show, but you've hit the nail on the head mate.

I am just now starting to come out of summer mode and start building again so also haven't had much to show for several months now. Through the doldrums I get my build fix from watching others that don't stop!

Same here. Work and not letting summer pass has kept my output down. As well, so as not to burden the system, I won't post updates on wips unless they are more substantial. At FSM I would post every little thing, mostly because there was little going on there.

I've really missed your builds and the banter that followed them mate.

Good thing we don't have a building quota, I'd fail the test unless it was one model every 5 years.

I consider hanging out here when not actually building anything the same as guys that watch sports but never leave their living room!

In reading this back I can see that statement could be open to the reverse interpretation that I intended!

What I mean is that there are a lot more watchers than players so it is perfectly normal to just sit back and enjoy the others without guilt or pressure to build!!! Just join the party.

After a couple busy nights at work, a day of yard work and then a day spent doing what my wife wanted I am so far behind here it isn’t even funny. 😂 Happens just that quick.

The sad thing is I've got a lot of different things going on my life, and when I do get some time to get to the bench, I sometimes can't be bothered cos I'm not in that space. But why is it that when I really feel the call of the wild plastic, I am supposed to be mowing the lawn or doing the house work? The gods of modelling are capricious......

You’re not alone! Sometimes you just need a break from everything and can’t be bothered to get to the bench. Particularly if real life is exceptionally busy! Also anything sounds more appealing than yard work. 🤣🤣
