I sometimes get bogged down in detail, (usually something stupid like working hinges on something that'll never be opened) also I'm easily distracted and start new projects before my current one is finished (working on 4 things at the moment and have 6 other projects that have been shelved for now).

I like a bargin and will sometimes wait to see if I can get an expensive part in a sale or something. Also my hobby funds itself so my tanks are paid for by other tanks that I've bought cheap, done up and sold for a profit (my girlfriend can't complain then, though every time a tank comes through the door she usually says "is that for you or to sell" as we're running out of room).

And my finished tanks are never really finished as they could always do with a touch up here and there when they're in for maintenance.)
You're a tortured man Woz :haha: ....Sometimes I feel like I'm getting to that point ;) ... I consider myself still rather green at this hobby...and try not to bog myself down with projects... right now though...I find my mind wandering as well...especially since I'm in the Black Forest Peak school of Tankery faze ....thoughts of re painting my JagdPanther ... and Tiger so I can take a nice picture of the group with my L70...not to mention the King Tiger on the burner soon
No one says anything to me... it's just the way it is... but once I do realize that my mind is offset a little ... I give myself a good slap on the backside of my head ... and set back on the project at hand
Prioritizing is the hardest thing... especially when participating on this board... a lot of ideas and inspiring things go on...I have a girlfriend too... she doesn't mind or say much about my tanks...so long she gets her share of attention lol...the one thing she will do is say something like..."that's cool... but it isn't really you" which simple as it might seem... does help to set things right ...she knows me pretty well :D No lectures or scolding...just subtle stuff to make you think ;)

Reason I do set priorities... and time lines...(which sometimes get exceeded ) as I can keep the pressure on myself to one way or another...finish a project instead of having an unfinished project taking up space ;)


Did that make sense ? :haha: :haha: Dunno sometimes I ramble :{

Another thing is that I don't get enough time to use the tanks that I've already built, so I can spend my spare time playing with my tanks or building new ones that I don't have time to use :(

There's another aspect of the Point of Reason Woz .... A really good one too....When I got into this hobby ...I never thought I'd have as many tanks that I do ...I do play with them though... when I'm in the mood and the weather is favorable....which brings another aspect into the forefront... that being.. WHICH ONE???? :haha: I don't like to neglect any of them.... but I have to admit ...the favorites is the KV2 ...my Shermans.... the F2 and the Panther that were just redone...My L70 will probably be one...but I still have a few tweeks to do on her ;)
