I have never had a problem with this before, but old age seems to come with numerous ailments, the newest being a deficiency on Modelling Mojo. A quick search on the net reveals that Mojo fixer upper drugs are not available, with or without a prescription. If anyone knows of a source (black market or otherwise), put me in touch, cash waiting! ....and for those that misconstrue, get a sense of humour!
Know exactly where you're coming from Timber!.......I've been like that myself for the last few months, though health problems didn't help, hopefully past that now, and have recently done a bit more on the carriage lighting. I'm pressing myself to start an old-ish "Model Loco/DJH Rebuilt Merchant Navy" kit I've had for a while and hoping, once I get the whiff of Phosphoric acid flux up my nostrils again, that it gives me the urge to get going modelling again. Seriously though, I often wonder if those of us in the Northern Hemisphere suffer from the 'SAD' syndrome (Seasonal Affective Disorder) when our winter weather is grey, damp, foggy and just plain "Yuk!" and that's part of the problem, otherwise known as "Can't be A**ed"..........roll on what passes for the UK 'Summer'! Keith.
Oh dear Timber you are in a bit of a pickle ... could you not book a doctors appointment ? We can't have you going off the boil now things are just getting started recently this mojo thing has been very infectious.
I blame this Forum! I soared like a rocket and now I am burned out! And it's obviously infectious from joining this forum! Who started a thread about it earlier? He better tell me his pill source before I remember his name!!! SAD! SAD! I'm bloody miserable . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Spoiler: oh! hang on a minute I have always been a miserable old fart since my 20's
Ah yes Timber but the progenitor of this terrible syndrome was himself honoured the title of Golden Goat once, and you did make references to such creatures with your most wonderful windmill holiday let model, I know because I saw your goat lurking under the trees and our Glorious Leader honoured you for this with a lovely prize. So I strongly suspect the answer in curring your dilemma must lie with the species Capra aegagrus hircus . Could Mrs Timbersurf or a kindly neighbour not acquire such a creature for your good self to tend thus relieving you from the repetitive chore of hedge trimming.
You hit the nail right on the head York Paul ... the goat is a provider of all things motivational ... curry, cheese, and for those of a certain age cardigans ... see ... cheerful already ... sigh ... it's been a long Xmas Ian vt
Excellent Ian ! And don't forget the Tinto helps in certain situations nothing like a good goat curry for supper
So now I not only suffer from lack of Mojo, but also... SAD Miserable .....and now I know I have to do hedge cutting regularly..... Depressed ....and your cure is...... eat goat meat, goat cheese and vino? Thanks guys! (Num occidere me apud misericordiam tuam) I think I will stick with the shady guy on the corner! hmmmm..... a cardigan with elbow patches? Oooh! what about leather shoulder patches! <--- OMG, I am going downhill fast now!
Ooh by eck Timber... you need a new project to get you started again, why not download the box file pdf and enter the new competition to get things going ? You are allowed to add in ten extra pieces and you already have one model goat, you only need another nine and you'd be off to a flying start with a down town curry factory.
I am steering clear of that one! Already got me in trouble twice! Apart from card structures not floating my boat, I want to give others a chance of winning a competition If I could only get the Mojo to restart my "Garage Diorama", I would be off and running! Maybe that's the answer, I should start the post thread and I will be under pressure to keep it going!
Seriously Timber post up a link to your Garage Diorama plans and lets see if we can generate random ideas as the start point for re-ignition of creativity.
I'm starting to need one of those Charost no not really cos my moto is "always make a piece of model everyday however small"
Timbersurf...meanwhile if you post up a link and don't get a reply soonish that's because I'm off into the workshop soldering detailing on the Riddles tank engine bunker... will be back soon
Thanks Charost, that was two nice thoughts. Paul, I THINK about model Railways 24/7, it's getting the Mojo to get of off my sofa and upstairs to the modelling room that's the problem! It's been a very quiet xmas, I should have spent days just modelling, but lack the motivation . I have spent the afternoon painting 1,200 feet!, not something that is lifting for depression! The whole family has been ill leading up to and including xmas, wife me and both dogs! So my mind has been on other things. But this afternoon's monotony has allowed me to think and develop a plan, it's not as cunning as a fox, but it may be the answer. New year's resolution - spend less time mooching around FB/Youtube/forums and more time actually modelling! Kick off the garage diorama project by starting the thread tonight. Give up trying to find the shady guy with the ethereal Mojo pills!
