I think part of my problem is that I always think it would be a bit "so what" when it's done. It would just be a bit more clutter with nowhere to keep it.
But I do quite like the idea, for some reason.
I went as far as buying a kit of a WW2 ship. Got it all out, read the instructions, gathered all the tools, made a space to work, got the lighting and work surfaces set up, drew a deep breath. This was it. A new and exciting hobby.
In my mind's eye I could see the resplendent piece, built, painted, almost indistinguishable from reality. It would be in pride of place, and the visitors we never have would be slack-jawed and drooling over the craftsmanship.
I pulled myself together and turned to the work in hand. Step 1. Remove the anchor from the sprue.
After googling "sprue", and just to be sure, " anchor", I placed the sharp knife at the appropriate point and started the adventure.
The anchor shot over the room and buried itself, lost forever in the carpet.
The rest of the kit remains to this day upstairs on a shelf, where it taunts me every time I see it with unattainable promise.
