That Swordfish made me sick!!

for sure !! every so often a kit will end up in the garbage or the spare parts bin.

Wasn't the Daisy Red Ryder invented for just such a problem?

But seriously:  happens to everyone, that's why you see sooo many kits listed in progress.....

Got about 25 I'm sick of working on...

...you mean today, or in the last year!! Yup, it happens. My most recent kit was Tamiya's 1/48th Fieseler Storch. There were several evenings that I just HAD to put it aside & I pulled out a little 1/72 kit just to see myself make progress on something!

yeah i was building a spitfire, and the same thing happened to me

The more I build I more I am enuthsiastic...

If I got a bad kit. I will try to finish it off as soon as possible.

Never waste a kit!

Tamiya swordfish makes you sick? What's the world coming to?

Put it on the shelf and realize that you'll be back to build it, when you have the patience.

July 4th is coming up. Gets some bottle rockets and tape them to the wings and see if it flies.

My mom used to get so made that I would build a plane then blow them up in the sandbox. Oh the good old days.

I get that with every kit I do (even free paper models).

I have found a cheep-effective, and non-destructive methood (Put the Dasy Red-Ryder Down!)

Just put the kit back in the box (or in a box, if it won't fit) and then start working on another kit. Once you get sick of the new kit, go back to the first one, and repeat untill both kits are done. Now I'm cranking completed kits out fast enough to warrent a monthly trip to the hobby shop (yet mom won't let me)

 ***NOTE: It won't work for restoring an old car. Once you get one, your stuck with it once you tear into it. After you remove the body, it will be immoble unless you own a flat bed truck (even then, it will be stuck on the truck, so you'll have to do all work on the back of the truck)

I think the same thing happens to all of us at times. I label it the SOTS syndrome ... Sick Of This S*** ... which for me usually comes at an onerous stage like rigging the cargo booms on a 1/700 cargo booms or a 1/72 biplane (where I am currently with my Sopwith Camel).

And I do the same thing - put it in a box for awhile and forget about it. Then take it out and it's almost like starting over! The only refinement I add is that, with advancing senility, I leave a note about what paints I was using for specific parts, where I left off with specific steps, etc. Otherwise I might never, ever, remember.

I've trashed a couple over the last few years because it seemed the Fates just decided those particular projects would be doomed.

Stuff would happen.  

Seats would work loose in an enclosed cockpit after everything was sealed up an no longer accessible.

A bizarre juggling act would ensue while I was painting a base coat.  Everything would be fine, normal and I'd get hit with a spaz attack, dropping the wet model.

After sanding, cleaning up the mess, etc., and getting everything back on track, the decals would fracture. 

Thank goodness, it doesn't happen often.
