For me, it's always the beginning. Even though I did a few sketches this
time to keep me focused, I still have the most difficult time just getting a
shape together. Sometimes I wish I had a small bubble of zero gravity above
my desk so that I could arrange pieces without connecting them. Wouldn't
that just be the bees knees?
The building process greatly resembles my writing process. I'll squeeze out
some terribly mediocre text and then finesse it up in the editing. MOC's
develop the same way. I'll cobble together something that's ugly and flimsy
as all get out, then spend the majority of the time tearing down and
rebuilding until I'm satisfied.
How 'bout you?

| For me, it is when you get about two thirds the way through, and start to have this feeling that you may not have enough brick to finish it the way you want. So then you get about three quarters the way through, and you start to realize that you are (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) That's easy: It's getting 5 to 10 thousand pieces into a construction and having Thomas take a look and say: "Wouldn't it be better if you did it this way?" and so 5 to 10 thousand pieces get taken apart and sorted and reassembled and ... it's (...)

| I would say getting the darn things finished. I often get 90% done with something then decide I do not like and tear it apart. I would say I finish maybe 1 out of every 8 models I start Brent (URL) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)
