Wow, yep, it is a disease.
Same problems for me too. Let me tell you what has recently cured my sickness. Over at corral there is a thread of an absolutely stunning coupe. So stunning that I won't be able to recreate it. I was doing fine until the guy smoothed his undercarriage. HIS UNDERCARRIAGE!
Don't get me wrong, it's stunning. It's just what I needed to see to flip the light switch off though.
When you look at Scott's beautiful car, it's hard to not want to replicate that (except for when he washed his cylinder walls down!). The thing is, I have the ability to do those things. What Scott had that I don't is that he wasn't married when he did that. No kids or grandkids to take his attention from the goal. Nor, the most expensive of all, a wife.
I praise Scott for his attention to detail, and in a fantasy world I would like to do the same. And I could if the wife and my youngest kids would just move on with their lives....
I got sucked into that thread and I think it had the complete opposite effect on me, it just made me want to do more and more! That car is unreal and I wish that I never saw it. I can't believe he smoothed his undercarriage, H*LY SH*T!!!
I've seen your work and it's incredible. It's the main reason I want to focus on paint. Your attention to detail is outstanding as well. I hope that someday I have an HVAC box half as nice as yours, lol. I have a wife but no kids, so I better hurry up before I have even more things holding me back too.
