Chris. I must admit, I too am quite pedantic about the modelling I do. To an extreme at times and loosing the 'have fun' aspect of the whole thing, but that is just the way I have approached most things. Some may say 'anal'. But I don't like rough edges so to speak.👍
Geology. !! Wow. That is something that has had a strange history. Being those who see a world of civilizations light years ago and are told, 'You can't publish that'.
I remember reading the story of the giant skeletons found in the middle east and of the one that is in the Smithsonian Museum that was never to see the light of day, as the 'establishment' feared it would change the whole picture of how it all happened and the conservative view on humanity and it's development.
I am more curious about the world now that I can seek the information that interests me and get some answers, some truth, other stuff just theories, but fun to do.
I am dreading the day oldtimers disease grabs me, but in the meantime, the sponge I am, soaking in as much as I can, keeping the grey matter from becoming a blob. hahahaha

Like how the pyramids are still being called 'tombs', and not wanting to admit that there are other aspects about them that are slowly being uncovered that is going to possibly upset the whole theory of the Egyptologists that don't want to let go of the unscientific beliefs and embrace the rethink that is taking place. 🙁

Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here to what has been a bit of a private conversation but...Strewth Kerry! You are getting to be a conspiracy theorist! If all the information withheld from the world's general population were available would we all run around in a panic? Who knows? However, on the same subject I have been amusing myself by making note of the difference in reporting of the North Korea issues at present between the American media and the rest of the world's press. There is a substantial difference. I fear there is as much political propaganda on one side of the Pacific as on the other? Back on subject, I have the same "control issues" as you with the loss of the fun aspect in the very real drive to create the best model you can do. I am embarrassed by the last model I built when I have finished the next one. I have only a four year history of model building so the development rate is still pretty steep and this is a common occurrence. I have a Takom Porsche King Tiger with full interior in the stash and will build it only when that embarrassed feeling dissipates.
On the subject of wise advice, my late mother in law once told me "if I don't use my head I'll end up using my legs". Every day I repeat that to myself after I have had to use my legs after failing to use my head.
