Building Swakhammer's Welding by Fine Scale Miniatures Pt.1
My next project is this behemoth. I have good amount of work done already. It used to be my lunch break project until I had nothing else left to do that wouldn't create a big mess or stink up the place. Now it is going to be my top home project until I am done unless I get over my fear of doing one particular task and completely screwing up one of my older projects. If I finally man up I may switch for a couple of weeks because that project is long overdue.

Building Currier & Sons by South River Modelworks Pt.3
Where did the summer go? Well... Technically, it is still summer but it feels like it is gone already. We are heading into limited edition kit season. With South River Modelworks and FSM kit out of the picture we now have only two big players left, FOS and Bar Mills. It looks like FOS is moving into old FSM announcement slot i.e. late July, early August. They caught me by surprise this year. I expected them to release their kit sometime in September or October. Then about two days later Bar Mills came out with a limited run kit. It isn't their big yearly kit though. They are going to have that one around Christmas. With one already out and only one still coming the season isn't as exciting as it used to be. On the brighter side, it is much better for the wallet.
I can put a check mark next to Currier & Sons. Although I finished the structures perhaps two weeks ago it has taken me another two weeks of wrestling to finish some of the details. I keep telling myself that I should do the detail parts first but always end up doing them last. At that point I am thinking of something new and, unless I am doing diorama, the details part don't add anything to the structures themselves. Therefore, there is not much of the visual progress what creates this work with no reward feeling. That sometimes results in TV watching in place of model building. All of this is behind now and I can start something new. Well... If you have read my previous posts you know it is a lie. I am already working on new project. Or should I say projects?
