Building Skinner's Row by Fine Scale Miniatures Pt.1

George Sellios over the years has produced many wonderful kits but Skinner's Row to me is the best. I am glad I have an opportunity to build it sooner than latter. The project is still in its early stages and again I am not following the sequence of tasks laid out in the instructions. Reading them is so boring. If I had to read the instructions two or three times as some modelers suggest I would give up building models all together. It is very popular opinion that the Master Creation kits are unbuildable due to the poor quality of the instructions but I am thinking I would do just fine. I don't mean to brag. It is just that my brain functions differently. As for Skinner's, I don't think I will need all that brain power. George's engineering is excellent.

Building Swakhammer's Welding by Fine Scale Miniatures Pt.2

I am back after the extended absence. I didn't do much modeling in September due to the trip to the Canadian Rockies and my brother's visit. While I thought that the break would make me jump back into building models it turned out to be quite opposite. It took me good two weeks to get into the mood. Perhaps I should have built some small kit to ease my way in but with 30 started and unfinished I didn't want to add yet another one to the pile. Finally, last week I started to pick up some speed and made decent progress. There still a lot left to do so I will be working on the Swakhammer's for a little bit.
