I found just going at sitting at the bench is helpful, no intention to model just go and sit, perhaps with a book, aircraft or model related of course. Or, I tried going with the intention to do one tiny job, such as paint a gap where I had missed during painting say, next thing I knew I had been there 45mins!.

I gave it a go and look what happened:MarkyM607 wrote: I found just going at sitting at the bench is helpful, no intention to model just go and sit, perhaps with a book, aircraft or model related of course.
Decals on, Ordnance painted, even got a bit of weathering on the undercarriage doors.
NOT turning the computer on also helped!!

Re: Chip's Falcon in Clogs
Nice paint stand. Do you paint at 45 or 33rpm? and whose album gave their all for the cause?

Re: Chip's Falcon in Clogs
Due to "rain stop play" today I have managed to get this one completed:
Apart from the raised panel lines (far too many to rescribe) this is a nice kit that goes together with hardly any problems.

Very nice work on that kit! I've built 2 of them and although the detail isn't the best, it's a fun build. Yours looks way better than mine!
