So a while back I brought home some building kits I have (Clayton County Lumber) so I built those, but now after seeing your buildings and reading through the book I checked out from the library (101 projects for your model railroad) I want to detail/weather these things to get them more ready for the layout.
Funny, my layout is in the garage and sometimes I feel the same way!
But seriously, time away from a 'home' layout can be very productive. I think about my own modeling during the in-between times; between school and the first call (living in my wife's old bedroom and modeling on a 2x2 square of plywood 'workbench' on the kitchen table & most of the modeling supply in storage), then just recently between the second and current calls, up in the 'cabin' on that same portable workbench, the modeling material not in storage this time, but practically so! If I take stock of the modeling I accomplished during these in-between times, it's substantial!
Hang in there. Also neat how a good modeling book can spur on the interest, eh?

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
