I also have a very high failure rate, mostly because I'm easily distracted
and tend to go off on construction tangents.  A typical building session for
me goes something like this:  ::cobble, cobble, cobble::  Hm.  This would
make an interesting fuselage for a space fighter.  ::cobble, cobble,
cobble::  Oh.  Submarine.  ::cobble, cobble, cobble::  This is going
nowhere.  I'll put this interesting lump aside and try working on that lump
I started two weeks ago.  ::cobble, cobble, cobble::  Moon buggy.  ::cobble,
cobble, cobble::  Tank?  ::cobble, cobble, cobble::  Oh man, it's already
midnight.  ::cobble, cobble, cobble::  The Bat Lord's Evil Steam Driven
Battlefield Death Machine!  I can improve this (big mistake).  ::cobble,
cobble cobble::  How did that go?  ::cobble, cobble, cobble::  Okay.  It's a
mech.  ::cobble, cobble, cobble::  Hm.  Nothing left except this interesting
lump that looks nothing like the interesting lump I started with.  Oh well.
I guess I should try to get three hours of sleep now.

I'm amazed whenever I actually finish something.  Even when I take the full
model visualization approach I always end up tweaking the result, usually to
death (aka, catastrophic tweaking).

ok
here's a question for all builders
but particularly space

i usually start 3 or 4 MOCs and abandon
them once i realize they are going nowhere,
BEFORE i get one that is really working
which i then finish

I am wondering,
what's the typical success ratio out there?
am i the only one who doesn't have every
MOC turn out wonderful on the first try ;-)

thx
