I know what you mean, kpnuts.  I have a Far West sitting on my shelf half done. It is very similar to yours but with one less deck (Missouri River craft).  But the neat new stuff keeps showing up in the mags and catalogs,  and I get drawn to the dark side.

I just pick one little thing to do. A piece of rigging, painting a piece, cutting a hole, doesn't matter, just one little quick easy thing for now. I generally find that I end up doing more. There is a tactic applied by people helping others to kick an addiction, and/or deal w/ depression. "when you get up in the morning, make your bed, that is all, just make your bed. Do it every day, and pretty soon you will be doing more." Hope this helps.

Hi Guys and Galls was cleaning out my model room the other day and realized I have been totally seduced by the dark side (plastic models) I haven't touched one of my scratch builds since Christmas. here are some pics of the models languishing in limbo hell.

Now I have a problem I really want to get some more done on them but I dont want to force myself as then they will get rushed just to get them out of the way and I don't want that, but at the same time I feel guilty that I have not touch one of them in nearly 5 months (enough time for spiders to start nesting in them errgh nasty things all creepy and crawly yuk) so what do I do I don't feel anything like ready to give the plastic a break but I do want to do feel guilty about my scratchies (ooh I sound like an addict contemplating doing cold turkey) come on I can't be alone there must be others like me how do you deal with it? HELP.
