What strange creatures we are. When working for a living there were times when I could not get away from my work station fast enough at the end of the day. Now that I’m retired, I can’t wait to get to it.
And there are weeks when I seem to work at it as if I was a double shift in wartime. A small model kit purchased at 10:00 Monday is finished at 10:00 Friday. It has been a week of fun, but the bench is empty again and I am looking about…
So I am going to institute some discipline:
a. One project for the Little Workshop – one project for the Little Studio – one project for the scale model club.
This means that my Tuesdays have something of a sense of continuity for weeks, if not months at a time. and the other club members can see that I am actually progressing and completing models.
It also means that I can have break from that subject while at home.
b. For the Little Workshop component, I will do one model kit until complete and then one scratchbuilt structure until complete. Thus there will be alternation between expensive and cheap modelling. It will also speed up the transition from aqueous acrylic paints to solvent based lacquers.
The air station and airport should grow accordingly.
c. The Little Studio work will occupy a third part in the sequence. This means that the backlog of models not photographed will be reduced and there will be more work to put on the internet and into the columns.
All work makes Jack a dull boy, but if Jack is smart, ringing the changes will mean that none of it really seems difficult at all.
After all, there is no need to be working like a hurricane…
