Monday - Feb 19, 2024 US President Day

[Jim Donovan]

Happy Presidents'Day for those in US still working. I had to be reminded why I did not need to take the garbage out today. Being retired does change one's outlook.

I was able to get some modeling done yesterday and hope to get more in today. Have a great day wherever you are!

Morning all,

I'm working today.  We do get the day off but as a 'floating holiday', so it accounts for one of the Friday's I've been taking off.

I got some workbench time in over the weekend.  Pretty much completed removing the cross braces I added to the wharf, installing the joists I missed the first go around, and reinstalling the cross braces.  A little dry brushing, adding some details here and there and then I can move on to doing something about the land-based structures.

Have a great one!

Morning all.

A nice day here today as we will break 50 degrees.

Even though it's a holiday, I do need to take out the trash and recycling this morning.  

Still working on the Deco build, hope to make more progress today.

Good Morning All,

Currently 52F and still drizzly but the sky is becoming brighter and the rain is supposed to stop at any time.

Today just doing stuff around the house.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Wonder what George & Abe would think of the situations today? 

That's it from Jersey.

Everyone have a great day!!

I dug out an old Magnuson (dating from their acquisition by Walthers) resin kit, the "Miner's Union Hall" shallow wall background building.  What a great design!  Mine is in great shape, castings are still flat.  I cleaned off the flash, soaked in 10% "Super Clean", and it's drying now.  I cut one of the sidewalls in half (using my bandsaw, worked great....)  Once it's fully dry, I'll prime probably grey, and start the detail painting.  This will be a lot of fun to paint because of all the cast-in detail.  I also ordered another Walthers "Merchants Row II" kit, mine has several broken parts.  It's probably due to my tossing the sprues into a big box of structure parts, but it could also be due to some deterioration of the styrene.  I decided even if I do kit-bash it, it's not worth trying to work through the broken parts.  

All this is going to the scenery/location I started on yesterday:

The track is underneath the cloth "apron".  Concept here is for a road to turn the corner you can barely see on the left (where the J. Tull brickworks is located) head down to a T intersection with a road that will go under a bridge to be cut into the track where you can see the track peek out from the cloth, and then climb back up the hill to track level a couple feet down the wall.

Felt like I'd gotten a late Christmas present yesterday when I discovered somebody had found the clubhouse door keys! Great to be back among old friends.
