Take a break, because this problem is nothing compared to what you have enduring and conquered already. A small speed bump in my opinion. I know that you can overcome any modeling problem Anthony, I have no doubt!

jimbo59 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Compared to the work you have done already this is a very small issue Derek B, Paul in Napier and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett M Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I’m with Chuck. Quick break and recharge. Strip 60 years of paint from General Electric Air Wall registers like me, then dive back in!

Been there, done that. Having said that, I guess we all know that feeling. Just follow the advice of the guys above and relax. There is allways hope.

Derek B Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) This is normal Anthony: I have been working on a small full kit master pattern for over two years now, and it is loss of modelling mojo (among over things like long working hours and moving home) which has prevented me finishing by now (and why I have not made any of my own stuff). To get back into the saddle, I leave the part of the build that is getting me down and work on another part of the build - once my mojo is back, I then tackle the problem area once more. Good luck Derek Edited January 31, 2021 by Derek B Anthony in NZ, easixpedro, Paul in Napier and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvwse4 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi Anthony, Just like Chuck said, take a break, look the other way for a while and come back when you start missing it. I have allways kits in different stages lying around, no sweat. Just start on the landing gear or something like that?

tomprobert Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Derek has wise words, above. I regularly suffer from the issues you describe - hence many of my longer term projects take a looooooooong time to finish. I would strongly recommend a break - work on something else for a while otherwise the Toom will become a chore and that’s when things go wrong. I find some time away from a build means you return with renewed vigour when you’re ready and then it’s all systems go... until you hit the next bump I’ve been following this from the sidelines for a while and have loved your work so far - it’s inspiring stuff!

geedubelyer Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 This should be fun mate. You're doing a cracking job and the end result will be superb eventually. There's no rush to finish. It'll still be waiting for you when your enthusiasm returns. Cheers. Derek B, Anthony in NZ and Brett M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well I didnt expect that Thank you ALL for your support, and rather than replying individually I just want to say thank you all!!!! I just woke up (Monday morning here) your replies are a little overwhelming to me. I carefully read each reply with a smile. I was just feeling the boost I needed from what you all said so picked the kit up and taped as much together as I could and flew it around my room, studying the beast from different angles and remembering how much I love the Spey Phantom and why I started this in the beginning. Thinking I might get back to it I opened my emails and.... This was there from my good friend Kerry! Well...she's all go again! You guys rock and thanks for your support. Kerry if you are reading this mate I shall reply shortly! I might study the wing to fuse shapes for a bit and make sure I am getting that 'coke bottle' right then finish off those intakes. Cheers everyone, I love this community! Anthony Cees Broere, IainM, Starfighter and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenshb Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Those spill vents would be a good candidate for CAD modelling and 3D printing. If your friend Kerry has created a Spey nozzle, buy him a bottle of whisky, and maybe he can do your vents for the air intake as well?

Yes mate I think they would, in fact a whole new set of intakes and reheat cans would get you a LONG way toward doing the hard parts on a Brit Toom. I dont like asking for help with peoples time/skills as I know how precious mine is. Kerry is planning on all internals too. Such a nice chap...

geedubelyer Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 3D printing has the potential to revolutionise modelling (if it hasn’t already). Glad to hear that you have regained enthusiasm for your “Toom” Anthony. Keep at it. Derek B and Paul in Napier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
