Evening all,

I managed a little workbench time this afternoon. I'm finally ready to move past the painting details phase and start working on the shed.

I use the same method Karl described for my scenery. I may have to try the glue Dave suggested though. If I remember to.  ::)

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

Matt, that looks awesome!  :o ;D

I need to look over, maybe fill out, a claim form for a class action lawsuit. After that I'll pop in a movie and pull out the workbench. 

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

It's Saturday which means tonight is either game night or we're heading to our favorite Mexican restaurant (that's the pattern on alternating weekends). Tonight it's Mexican. A Margareta to accompany the meal.

Still plugging away on the tedious task of gluing 3D printed bottles into 3D printed cases. These things are tiny in HO scale.  :o

Have a great one!

Let me add my thoughts and prayers to the list as well.

Afternoon all, 

Thought I wrapped up the detail parts for the current build but then came across the 93 3D printed bottles and the crates they need to be glued into. Yikes! This is a bit tedious and will take some time/patience. 

Have a great one!

Morning all,

I'm going to try to sit at the workbench today to get things going again on that front. 



Have a great one!

Morning all,

I'm off to Hobby Lobby in a moment in a search for fine pointed pens that I can use to 'paint' a moustache on a figure or two (answering Dave's question as to whether or not I've done it yet). 

Rain in the forecast for later this afternoon but it's sunny out at the moment.

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

Belated congratulations on retirement, Jeff!

I haven't been productive this week. I'm having some sort of issue with my hip and/or lower back. It wouldn't surprise me if I had a bad hip given the number of times I  came down hard on them back in my younger days when I played ice hockey. Then again, it could be nerve related. Whatever it is it hits me when I make certain movements.

Dave, scary as it may seem to have someone working on your eyes the cataract surgery is relatively quick and painless. Best of luck to you.

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

I got a little workbench time in today.  Once I finish painting all these details and figures I'll start a new build thread.

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

Got any of that Irish Breakfast tea left, Dave? I could go for a spot of tea.   ;D

Back at the workbench pondering how to paint a mustache on an HO scale figure or two.



Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

Nothing got done at the workbench this week. Maybe I can remedy that this afternoon. Today's pictures are inspiring, no doubt about that.  :)

This evening we're headed out to a friend's house for dinner and a cut (haircut). Last day of Spring Break for the better half. Monday she'll be back at work tutoring the young'uns. 



Have a great one!

Late afternoon all,

Dropped my car off for service this afternoon (scheduled the appointment for tomorrow so I'll get it tomorrow). Didn't feel urge to paint today so nothing got done on the workbench. 

Have a great one!

Afternoon all,

Nice rolling stock Dr. Jeff! 

Sunday, Monday, makes no difference to me. I'll be messed up, as to the day of week, all week as my better half is off for Spring Break so the routine will be different. 

Still painting details and figures. Progress is slow.  ::)

Have a great one!
