I admit that I have encountered the same feeling(s). I am actually relieved to hear that others have as well. As a programmer by trade, I find building to be quite exciting and relaxing (and challenging)... all of which are good. However, I am used (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

Making a model that will "do something" is my challenge. The saying "If you cannot solve the problem, change the problem." is the basis for my building. This requires a lot of rebuilding to achieve a design that will perform according to your (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
