I’m facing a difficult situation with my study/research for my project
I’m currently facing a difficult situation, in which I think I need some help from you guys. Currently, I’m reading through the book Scouts Out. Originally intended as a study for the Sd. Kfz. 234/2 Puma from Italeri. Which I’m planning to build somewhere in time this year. And I want to do this in the autumn and/or winter. Which is coming soon here in the Netherlands. But, I think I’m getting to a point that I’m just not wanting to read on any further. And that I want to have some action, some doing for the project. But, I have made a whole action plan with goals for this study. And one of the goals is that I’m reading through the book from the beginning to the ending. I have already finished 3 of the 5 chapters to read. But with the 3 chapter on the end, there were difficulties already. I really had to bring myself to reading out the chapter. Because I didn’t really had the motivation to read it out.
So, now I’m facing some difficult decision making work. Do I stop reading and thereby stop the plan. Which might be making me a quitter of my own plan. Or, do I read on with all possible consequences of it that it has on my further motivation and working on the project?
I honestly find it hard to make a decision in this matter and that’s why I need some more experienced knowledge of you to help me out.
I have learned my lesson now. And I now know what you meant when you were talking in the previous topic I posted about research. That you first ask questions before comitting to doing any studying and researching in the first place. And that’s what I’m wanting to do for a next project. But for now, I need a solution for this situation.
And it’s really playing on my mind.
I’m also having other options I thought of, maybe put the book aside for a while and continue researching on the computer and the internet.
Watching some video’s of the subject for reference, talk on forums with others about the subject. But, that would mean that the building phase and other preperations I still need to do before I’m actually ready to start the building phase of the project itself gets delayed by weeks or even months.
So this is the dilemma I’m facing.
Why did the Sd. Kfz. 234/2 Puma have a diesel engine, while the other reconnaissance vehicles had petrol engines?
I have seen some photo’s in the book I’m reading about the subject, but I don’t actually see much weathering going on. When I’m doing a quick search on the internet on my phone on the internet or images. I don’t get pictures of the vehicle in action. By the way I’m using Brave search.
When I’m wanting to look up the versions of painting and marking given in the kit instructions in my book or online. I’m not seeming to have a lot of succes with this. Why is that?
What can you tell me about the 20th PanzerAufklärungs Abteilung of the 20th Panzer Division Görlitz?
I might have more questions, but I think this might be enough now for this topic for today. Thank you in advance.
