when I decided to build another one, I thought I was nuts too. Then as I started on it I realized something.
If I’m not working, I don’t know what to do with myself and get anxiety. So when Saturday comes, I work. And Sunday. Times 52 weeks a year. When I just can’t work any more, I drug myself to sleep to escape the anxiety. Not a healthy lifestyle.
I find when I work on the model, I relax. Same with the car but I’m just not up to the heavy work of the car.
The other benefit I’ve found is that when I go to bed, instead of figuring out work shit, I mentally engineer the project - working out the electronics, structural stuff, assembly order, etc. My mind never stops and, again, this is an escape.
I don’t think I’ll start building more models. But for now, this one is a doozy. I’m betting it takes six months.

the biggest issue is where the hell to put it when I’m done. It’s three feet long.
