Since yesterday I mentioned the other kit I should reveal what it is, I suppose. It is Currier and Sons by South River Modelworks and the part of the kit I was working on was the lumber storage shed. Everything was going smoothly until it was time to glue on the roof and it turned out to be too small. I didn't cut it out from one of the card that the roof piece was printed on. Instead I cut it out of the piece of cardboard I had. I made it exactly the same size as printed but the printout was wrong. Cutting new isn't a problem but I have to complete all of the painting and weathering steps. That takes time.

Building Cundy Cannery by Bar Mills Pt.1
It has been nearly a month since I finished the Graves kit. Have I been working on something since then? I have. I don't take breaks unless I travel. I mean extended breaks. After working on a model for few days I take a break but usually for no more that 3 evenings.
So... The next kit on the plate is Bar Mills Cundy Cannery. Actually, I started it while still working on the Graves. I needed to fill my lunch break modeling slot and the cannery was a good candidate. Majority of parts were wood or laserboard, no plaster and very little of resin. I was supposed to start working on another kit but it had plaster parts and because of that it was workplace incompatible. The cannery is coming together quite well and I may have finished it by now if not for the window vents and those few resin parts that had to be done at home. I switched to another kit for awhile with an intent to finish part of that kit before going back to the cannery but I then hit a road block and I had no other choice than to work the cannery again. It should be smooth sailing from now on.
