I've hit "The Wall"!!!!

[Deleted]

Good evening, gentlemen.......I have decided this evening,that until I can re-invigorate my enthusiasm for sticking styrene together,I will be 'retiring' from building/WIPing until further notice.My apologies to all who have followed ALL of my stalled builds this year,But I just need to step back,and re-evaluate where I am heading in life!!!!!,and at the moment,modelling isn't important enough for me .
I'll still be here to offer,abuse/advice/encouragement,and humour if needs be.
Still the bestest modelling Forum on t'internet!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Again....SORRY!

That's not good news CB, but then we all come to this point some time or other. Family and life always comes first and we will all be here when your mojo returns.

S`ok mucka you can be in charge of the drinking section of the CR ;D ;D, no worries fella we ain`t going no-where, everyone needs a break every now and then................just keep contact matey ;D

Hiya Chris,
that's a shame buddy just put yer feet up for a bit and see how it goes eh?
I know what it's like to loose the building mojo, in fact I've still not fully recovered
I'm glad you're sticking around the site though buddy, we'd all miss your super smooth wit

[paulh.]

Hey mucker- glad to see you'll still be around to provide the necssary abuse etc.
Keep safe.

[TRM]

Taking a break or extended leave of absence from the building end of the modeling world is sometimes all it takes. None of us are actually going anywhere and you still hanging about is a major plus my friend!!!

[RossGary.]

Happens to everyone, Chris. My last break lasted over 20 years! Hope yours doesn't though!
Seriously though, mate, hope everythings OK and you get it sorted.
All the best,
Gary.

[bigjohn]

As long as you keep stopping in and visiting with us CB, place wouldn't be the same with out ya! Take you a break, and may the mojo find its way back soon.

[eastrock]

That a Sad News, CB Take your time, feel free to abuse Dicky

[bullardino]

That's something I wish I wouldn't have read of. Take your time, CeeBee, and get back to the bench. You're a talented modeler and I'll miss your builds

But, most of all, please keep visiting MSC

[Thom]

CB sorry to hear about the missing mojo, I can fully understand. Take a break and hopefully the urge will come back again soon. I am glad to hear that you will be still hanging out to supply your wit and whimsy.

Plus I need some one to be taller then around here, hell have you ever seen what I look like standing next to T simply Mutt & Jeff.

Cheers mate,
Thom

[Deleted]

Well.......Cheers very much for all the kind responses gents!!!!!!!
I won't respond to everybody individually,if thats allright....but Thom....I know someone on this Forum,SHORTER than me!!!!! ;D ;D ,so don't feel too bad fella

[AndyArgent.]

It happens to us all at times Chris, just hope it is nothing like my life time love of classic cars,i stopped messin with them when i gave up smoking (full time that is jackwagon) and havnt used my motor since really. Too many wild weekenders getting drunk would put me back on the fags.That was 6 years ago.

[wing_nut]

No one is allowed to leave while I am just getting to know folks here. So sit back down!

Nah... I get it. I am just coming back out a period of funk so I know what you're talking about. We'll be here if'n ya change yur mind.

[wbill76]

Happens to everyone from time to time so don't fell alone in that regard CB! The hobby will still be here when the spark returns, take your time and a healthy break and you'll be roaring back before you know it. Hope to see you poke in from time to time as you're able!

[robbo]

It happens to us all CB, you'll be back at it in your own time

[venom1]

Hey Chris, sorry to hear that mate!

I know what it's like to lose the mojo (as many of us here do) and there is no point trying to force it. Life can get in the way, and in the end this is a hobby and other parts of our life need to take priority. Sometimes we just need to put the glue down and step away from the desk for a while.

Glad you are not leaving altogether, and it's good you are still going to be floating around. Hope that some of us can be a bit of an inspiration in getting your mojo back!

Anyway, take your time mate, no rush, we're not goin' anywhere.....

Cheers,

Sam

To all that have posted since my last.....cheers fellas!!!,I appreciate the support,but I've gotta do what's best for me at the moment!!!.....I've been with Nemo,this morning,and he knows what I mean!!!!!!!! ;D......In the words of ole Arnie......."I'll be back!!!!"

[`Boots`]

We know ya will............missed ya in the CR tonite mucka

[armorguy]

Chris, I've had the same experience my friend, I've hit the wall you're speaking of quite hard too. Take a break as long as you need, and you'll see that modelling will have a place in your heart.
You will return ! It's good you've been with Nemo btw.

[legend]

Chris, been there mate.........time,that's what you need.

Bill

[jackh.]

Sorry to hear CB, but I think most on the forum have been there . So you just have to sit this one out mate lol.

[Deleted]

Again....cheers fellas,for the replies and good wishes...(I'm wellin' up here!).....Like I said before,tho....I'm not jumping ship from the Forum,I'm just not getting the smell of TETC up the nostrils at the mo!!!! .I'm not going into the personal reasons behind the decision,but suffice to say,You fellas are without doubt the best bunch of people a man could wish to meet!!!! ;D ;D

[Mence]

Very familiar with the dark place you find yourself in, I'm there too. Fingers crossed for you buddy, chin up.

[reserve]

Yup, happened to me in the middle of a Dragon Panzer IV, just walked away and did not return for about six months or so. One day while walking by it started to look good again so I sat down and had at it; I've no doubt this will happen again but refuse to get upset by it.

If it ain't fun anymore, why do it since it is, after all, supposed to be a hobby? Will keep an eye out for ya and don't worry I don't think you're offending anyone here.

Regards,
Mark

[bbd468]

CB, Im very sorry to hear your situation and we all wish the best for you and your future endeavors and your continued advise and input....and the occasional humor mortar fired in our general direction from you! Not if, but when you return to the hobby, well all be here to support you and your builds. Plus, ill need ya when i return to tha Spit!!! ;D Good luck Chris, and god bless....
