 Subject:  Re: "Kits not being built." or "I just can't stand ruining it!!!"List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jun 14, 2002
 From:  Landon Olson 
At present my stack of kits isn't too big, but I face the situation of not
wanting to ruin any. I've only been seriously building for a couple of years
but being a student I don't have the time to build a lot or the finances to
accumulate a large stock of kits.

The catch-22 is this. I want to work on some of the new kits I have, but
don't want to start them because I'm afraid I won't be happy with the
results and they won't be good enough. I won't get any better though until I
build more. I guess it reaches the point of just diving in and building and
if I'm totally unhappy with the results and want to give it another go, just
buy the kit again and try it.

Anyway, that's the reason I have kits I keep putting off building. Maybe
after I finish the botched Sherman on my workbench I'll see how badly I can
botch something else :).
