People may read this and say, "Well obviously you really don't like modelling then." I love modelling as much as the next guy.

       With me it's a combination of getting motivated and fighting procrastination along with all of my trials of trying to learn airbrushing. Here west of Phoenix with 100 plus degrees, the thought of playing outside doesn't last long and at this time I'm unable to use my pool until my foot heals completely due to a surgery, Then the thought of watching a movie on my 72" DLP HD tv takes over and then oh well..........I'll get to it when I get to it........

I wonder how long it would take a model to melt away if left out on a sidewalk. 

Its has already got hot here in Dallas so I do most of my building at nite in the shop, but it still takes time to cool that down with my small window unit.So in the end there is not much building getting done around my place.

been there before,,,,nill on the humidity......jack it up to 90-100% and you'll se the difference in a hurry,it's a lot like walking into a sauna,but it's like that everywhere but inside

I like to model in the evenings after getting off work, cleaning up, having dinner and doing dishes. Sometimes I'll listen to music or work the occasional crossword puzzle instead. On my days off, I'll try to get it at least one modeling session somewhere along the line. I keep a diary of my modeling activities and I usually average between ten and fifteen modeling sessions a month.

I even have a little workbench so I can model outside. Here in Phoenix, it's much too hot to do so now, but come October, November, even early December, it will be terrific.

Same here except it works the opposite, it rains those months and forces you indoors. I will be hunkering down and getting some work done then.

I always tend to spend less time modelling in the summer months. And as you said, having frigid Canadian winters is all the more incentive to get out now that we have great weather outside.

I haven't even opened a new kit since I got my last one done, that was over a month ago!!! I have been bicycling with my daughter and sister and her kid every other day after work, sometimes every night, its been nice to be out doing something healthy and fun, but I really don't remeber bicycle seats being so darn painful in all those places

Lately it has been yard work.  I set on my behind yesterday just going around in circles for over five hours.  It was on a riding lawn mower and I cut the whole 2 1/2 acres.

On weekends my wife and I head out to our camper and get away from everything.  The fishing lately has been bad due to lack of rain.  Next weekend I will be putting my boat in the water for the first time in about two years.  We plan on going out into the gulf about ten to twenty miles off shore and do some fishing.

I have also been busy with my flying.  I have completed phase two and about 1/3 through phase three.  I should be re certified by the middle or end of August.

I did start on one model for a group build.  I opened the box.    Now I have to start painting it.
