Oh , What to do? What to do!

What to do?

I have started building my third Constitution kit. The first one is ok, learning from it, ready to breech the gun deck. The second was one I got from a friend with the hull together and half painted. This is for spare parts.

The third one is going to utilize lessons learned from the first, including adapting the build instructions.

In between I tease my better half, who is Italian, just to watch the sparks fly!

Then there is the coffee, shortcake and how many of us expect to gain a little weight?

Been too rainy for yard work....

Hi;

 I guess that means you can go to  Blujacket Shipcrafters and get real brass cannon this time!.

What I'm doing.

In between working in the garden, mowing the lawn, and making runs to town for essentials, I got myself wrapped up in two builds at once. A Tamiya Corsair F4U-1A in 1/48th and an Academy (ouch) A10 in 1/72 (ouch again). The A10 was a gift so since I despise Academy models mostly for pathetic instructions and fit and 1/72 scale due to aging eyes, I thought I would challenge myslef with it and get it out of the way, not to mention I have yet to build a jet aircraft since returning to the hobby.

I do not dare look at other's work in magnified images as it makes me embarrassed at my own level of detail (or lack thereof). You guys outright amaze me with the quality of your labors. Having assembled many of the kits I see gracing these electronic pages, I fully understand the mediocre fit-up of parts and see what you all do to make it look so simple, though I know it is not. I find it hard to even imagine working at the level of detail I see here. Gentlemen, I salute you.  

I often work on two models at a time.  I use enamel paints, some of which have considerable drying time.  I also occasionally use sovent glue, which takes awhile to work.  That often leaves gaps where I have to wait before I can do anymore.  So I like to have a second model started that I can turn to.  Do I ever get in the situation where I have to wait because both require some drying or setup time?  Yes, but far less often than when building just one kit at a time.

Now that I have a bigger work area I do work on a couple of models at once without feeling overwhelmed.

There is also now more chance to exercise,been doing the stationary bike 4 times a week plus walking in our development.And sad to say the TV can just gobble up the time I am a habitual surfer wife never knows what's on.
