Today, my family and I were going to spend the Halloween weekend outside of the city with friends' at their cottage.
Well, around 2:00am last night, I came down with flue symptoms, which did not let up until about 2:00pm today. So my wife and kids left for the cottage around 1pm, leaving me to recover at home. I steadily improved throughout the afternoon and realized that I now had a huge chunk of time to get on with my new layout.
I'd been saying to myself earlier, that I needed a large chunk of uninterrupted time to make a dent with the changes I'm planning. I've posted elsewhere on this forum about how I've finally decided on a location to model -- Wellow in Somerset, England.
I made good progress today but so much of this took a lot of time. I've probably worked 6 or 7 hours, kit-bashing my current station to (sort of) look like Wellow's, painting the station platforms to a light grey/white colour, painting parts of the station, and I was even able to finally add the decals to one of my tank engines that I'd repainted/renumbered (the latter took well over an hour). As I make more progress, I'll post pix.
At any rate, I'm pleased with my progress. As a father of two active young boys & with both my wife & I now working, I don't get the chance very often to model for 7 hours straight. Can anyone else relate to this?
