The Little World

And you do it for yourself – free of any prompting from necessity, or advertising, or other people’s opinions…

You step up to the bridge of life and take command. You decide the course and the speed. You decide the cargo and the loading. You take the risk and make the profit or loss. It’s a scary situation.

I did this week with a complete remodelling of my studio to feature a scale model airport rather than a model railway layout. To be fair, the railway was experimental, and I had built airfields before, but the realization that I do not care as much for the trains as the planes hit me a few months ago.

No sense pursuing something I did not wish to catch. The new airport is to be a photo set for modern civil aviation – of a modest sort. It is on the old swivelling table so that it can be set in front of a photographic backdrop and seen from many angles. This is even better now that photo backdrops can be spliced in Photoshop Elements and PS Classic with more precision.

Still too few 1:72 kits of ancillary equipment to be found in our shops, but a couple of vehicles have shown promise.
