I think it happens to us all at times.
It did with me a few years ago but after a while I got the 'urge' to build something and that was it.

Don't force yourself to build something.
It will happen.

To get me in the mood again. I watch some YouTube videos of people building the same thing I am working on or want to work on. I get inspired by how people do things that I have not thought of and I would like to try. That or you watch something and think to yourself: "I can do that better." and it lights that spark again.

Some really good modellers to follow are:

A4 Garage: I can't tell you how amazing this guy is at modifying car kits Love Drool

International Scale Modeller: Paul is an amazing painter

OMG Scaleworks: Nice relaxing videos of amazing builds

If you are not interested in cars then I am sure there are tons of guys and gals to watch for inspiration
Best Regards,
Ron
