A couple issues ago, we were challenged on the editor's page (I forget which editor, and don't have issue with me, sorry), to get even better at whatever aspect of modeling we were best at.
That gave me the idea for this thread. I thought it might be neat to find out what aspect of modeling you struggle with.
By the process of elimination, there has to something, right?
I think I safely say most modelers are perfectionists to a certain extent, some more than others. The meticulous, exacting, measured nature of the hobby are the things that appeal to us.
Someone will look at one of my builds and say "wow, that's an awesome model!", and I'm standding there looking at a half dozen mistakes. He he.
Anyhow...
For myself, one aspect I have managed to conquer isn't a tangible thing. Patience. I don't know how many times I've messed something up because I moved too fast. I don't have that problem any longer. That model will still be there on the bench tomorrow.
The one thing that's always been a thorn in my side is painting. I'm just simply not good at it. I'll choose the wrong brush, or have trouble with going too thick or thin, etc. I'm way better than I was at 10, but I'm still a ways off from where I'd like to be. But, I keep plugging away.
Anyone else care to share their own personal Achilles heel?
