Hi John , i thought you had gone very quiet on that other o gauge forum . Its good to hear from you and back into the modelling again . I think we all go through stages where you wonder if its worth it , i didn't do any modelling as such for nearly 12 months and looked at other hobbies but in the end came back to the fold . When i told some of the guys in the club about this some of them admitted going through the same thing but most said they hadn't noticed my lack of modelling, who needs mates
In the end modelling should be something you enjoy doing , if its not working then have a break , go and poke a ball around some grass pushing it into holes , that will soon get you back to the hobby .
What you have done looks really good and there are plenty of people on here who will give you good advice if you get stuck , i would offer to help with trackwork but being in Australia does limit me in that area .
One question if i may , that lady in the printed dress keeps popping up , have you thought of doing a limited run and if so how much , I'm sure there are others who would put their hand up for one , only one though , i dont think a layout could take more than one
Cheers Paul
Hi Paul.
Thank you sir LOL "but most said they hadn't noticed my lack of modelling, who needs mates" Yes this forum does contain a very high proportion of very skilled modelers and any advice they give me will be invaluable.
I am more than happy to paint figures for people, normal cost for a 7mm figure is £7.50 plus the cost of the figure plus postage, how ever the lady in the floral dress takes several hours longer to do so unfortunately I would have to charge £10 plus cost of fig plus P&P for her or any other figure in that style.
Once again thank you for your very kind comments, I hope you are well away from those horrendous wild fires.
Have a great Christmas, all the best,
John
