Andre
I've known you long enough to say "GET A GRIP OF YOURSELF" You are a
butterfly and the only way to get you to settle is with a large 6 inch
nail - in your case several, no a barrel load! <VBG>
As a butterfly myself there is ONLY ONE CURE - GIVE IN TO IT! , but limit
your modelling so that you don't burn out on any one theme; and then flit
between eras & scales as the mood takes you....I currently have a S scale
home layout hung on spur shelving that sits over a Italian HO layout which
sits on shelves full of kits for other projects. I'm also a wargamer and the
current project is the 2nd Schleswig Holstein war in 10mm ......I'm quite
happy flitting from one to another - progress is slow but I don't suffer
angst about something I'd rather be doing.
My modelling room is the garage - its stuffed full and the lack of storage
space is the only thing that stops me flitting into other adventures. I can
send you off lists a couple snaps of the garage to show the practicalities,
if you sent me your address I'll also sent you a nail or two!
Best regards
