What was I thinking...
Boredom has set in. I am waiting for decals to arrive for my current project, thus placing it on hold. Not much on TV, and with COVID still flying around, not much else to do. It is sheer boredom.
As a result, I relented to boredoms will. I decided to start another project. That is a big deal for me because I am a one project at a time kind of guy. Even still. The project must follow strict criteria. It must be quick to build, something fun, and something that will grab my interest. Otherwise, I'd prefer to stay bored because my heart is not in it.
Into the dark recesses I went. I keep most of my stash in a crawlspace behind my bench. Hunched over, flashlight in hand, I entered the black hole, ever fearful of what my cats left behind for me.
Egads. The models are covered in 20 plus years of dust. Some of the boxes are so dust laden that they are barely legible. Though, many of them are sitting there for 20 plus years, the majority were purchased 10 years earlier. There are probably 30 models sitting there. SURELY, I can find something in that dusty lot.
Let me see now... Nope! Nope! Nope! As I was going through them, now on my hands and knees to reach them, singular thoughts kept coming up. That is. Watch out for cat puke, and WTH was I thinking when I bought that? Many of the models are car kits and many are far from exciting. In today's mindset, I can not see an instance where I would ever invest time building them. Not in this lifetime. My oh my... how my interests have changed. Another thing became clear. I have to do something with these kits! They need a home! Woody would be broken hearted to know that they sat lifeless for over 30 years.
Sigh.
What to do now. Nothing grabs me from my derilict stash. Buy one? Yeah ... that's the ticket. Searching...searching... nothing grabs me. Then in a moment of inspiration, bam! How about building the Jonny Quest Dragonfly kit? Its easy, fun, and I could even gift it to my brother who is a big fan. I am a fan as well, but he takes the cake.
After a long search to locate one locally, and after being told they don't stock it, I drive over to my local HobbyTown. Something told me, go check. And what do you know, they have one.
I started working on it last night and all the correct wheels of imagination are spinning.
