Happy to share, as this forum helped me get back on track due to some great words of wisdom.
I had my process, and most importantly, I enjoyed modelling. I tried new techniques and had fun with them; I was on FB groups and how-to websites. Then I found that I kept stalling on builds because I constantly compared my work to others online. I thought it was my products; I started buying products left and right: you know what they say about bad workmen. I stopped building, or it took me months or a year to finish something. I realised what the issue was when on a 12hr flight with work to LA that my phone had more images of other people’s models than my own. On that flight, I deleted all the photos of other people’s builds and left 99% of all modelling groups. I only have an FAQ site so I can help answer questions and the model club I run.
Aircraft have saved the hobby I love so much; I still haven’t retired amour yet, but I have the new Airfix Cromwell in prep and only have reference pictures.
I hope this explains or even helps someone see that it is YOUR HOBBY and you need to enjoy every bit of it, and it is not for anyone else to tell you otherwise.
I only try to compare my models to the last one I built and hope it's a bit better each time.
