I've never been afraid to bin a kit that stopped being fun - life's too short.

Steve, would you like to borrow a hammer, I have a selection.

Haha!

Because I started out w/model railroading, when I get frustrated or loose mojo with a project, I return to it. It is easier for me to accomplish stuff, and there's always things to add or improve on w/o stress.

I know your new here but WE ALL never encourage JR with FIRE. Lol. Someday we’ll tell you a story about JR and FIRE.

Stop trying to scare the boy, JR is now in suitable therapy....

Keep going Steve, some of these over engineered kits are produced to out do the opposition and frustrate the modeller, but treat the multi-part assembly parts as a sub assembly that can be added later. Like the wheels on a tank, the suspension units, the turret and tracks if workable, these can all be broken down into sub assemblies... I now have 360 track links to clean up and assemble, so I do ten or so at a time - the hardest part is when you are counting them out and get interupted three times and lose count....

Put it on the Shelf of Doom and come back to it later mate - I'm just about to start a second Bergepanther that's been sat for at least five years!
(and don't use the parts that (a) can't be seen, or (b) aren't necessary for the build - allows you to start a spares stash!)
