Thanks Guys!


Tonight is the beginning of the 3rd Qtr (according to my planner) and my SINGLE model railroading goal for the next 3 months is to build a Sierra West Scale Models Woodcutters Shack. This is my first Sierra West kit and I'm very excited for the board by board challenge. For some of you, this would seem like setting the bar pretty low for the time allotted. My hope is to be PATIENT and methodical with every detail and treatment of every board and casting...these are not my usual methods    I've built some very nice models but never to the level I think I am capable due to my impatience...this project is as much therapeutic psychology as it is art for me. I hope to "touch it" several times per week, even if only for one little step or preparation for a step. There are some amazing model builders on here and I'm fortunate to have some of their builds on my layout but this one is special to me...I hope I don't screw it up

Broke the ice...on vacation the week after next but I wanted to at least do something tangible before I left. Initial staining of the strip wood.

You always have to start somewhere!

Looking forward to the build John.

Thanks for the interest guys- just what I need...been a heck of a summer. I've been up to NY and back 3x for my Mom's illness and my brother-in-law's unexpected passing along with unprecedented assaults from beyond at work (can't discuss but I should write a book someday)... This is the first time I even laid a finger on the layout...Made me smile. Progress to come.

John,

Beautiful photos!  I'm glad it looks like you are finally coming out the other side of the tunnel and can again work on your layout.
