Among the suggestions were start a kit completely different than what you normally do, clean the bench/model space, etc. The writer said that none of those worked for him. Then he took a look at the shelf of doom and said that it was those kits that were killing his mojo. So he threw them out in the garbage. He felt instantly liberated and got his mojo back.

So I came home from work and did exactly that. Four kits that were in various states of build that I had either made mistakes on or were bad kits and six old completed kits were tossed out. Gone. I feel relieved already.
Yep - done that - that's exactly the reason why I don't have a shelf of doom. I strongly feel that once you put a kit down, you're unlikely to want to pick it up again, and therefore it's served it's purpose. Bin it and move on. Maybe you learned something, maybe you didn't, but I seriously don't think you need to finish a kit for it to be a successful build.

I might, sometimes, put the kit back in the box and add it back to the stash, but most of the time I just release my inner Calvin...

I'm really not feeling any of the kits I'm building at the moment - including the Tamiya Tomcat, so I think I may have a bench clear-up too.
