Well, did you miss me? OK, don't answer that. With Daisy the cow retreating into the distance and the cold damp and dark reality of January weather upon us, I can sit back and do some modelling... except I haven't and I'm not. A combination of factors is at fault; momentum being one, not having Young Craig breathing down my neck is another and I've buried myself in other things. One of which is reassessing why I do this and what I want to achieve. Not surprisingly this is becoming age influenced and includes the shake down of first being long term self-employed, then employed for two years and finally the escape from a regular wage. This is all far too much for a bear of little brain to take in at once and there will be a hopefully short period of adjustment while I work out a direction of travel.The above may be the only completed item since last I wrote here and is the long awaited 40+ year old Nu-Cast LBSCR Open A. Looking at this now I feel that the supplied sheet rail is not up to standard and should be replaced. The transfers are not perfect despite following the Modelmaster instructions of applying to a shiny surface and then coating with matt varnish. I can live with it. I now have two SR liveried wagons done with a third on the bench. Where this is going, I have no idea.
