Modeling during the Summertime??????

Yeah, I slow down a little in the summer, for similar reasons-outdoor work and outdoor activities.  I ride bike, so when the weather's nice, I'm either on the road, or cutting the grass.

In between, I do set up outside, though, too, and paint or build.

Best regards,

I got involved in modeling so I would have something hands on to do. Now that fishing and mowing season has taken off here in Florida, I spend much of my time in those areas with the obligatory and constant repairs that have to be done on the old boat , motor and trailer and the constant maintenance on the old riding mower. Suffice to say that I have ample hands on things to do and not as much time on modeling. July and August here are basically too hot to be outside for much of the day and the lawn work doesn't have to be attended to much so i'm looking forward to more modeling time then. So I model when I can and work when I should. No big deal if my modeling projects are put off for a few months, after all it's a hobby.

I am retired and consider myself lucky because I have a number of hobbies. I know a few people that have no hobbies and are always complaining because they are bored. That's unfortunate. One of my hobbies is gardening. Thirty years ago when we built our house, and when I was a lot younger, we planted a number of flower beds that totaled 4,000 sq. ft. Anyone who has a green thumb is aware of how much time is required to keep planting beds neat and tidy. Constant weeding, cleaning, feeding and replacing dead plants. Over the years we have been replacing some of the beds with sod. Just too difficult to take care of as we age. We are down to about 1,000 sq. ft. of flower beds. This is a picture of the largest.

I do get to do modeling when it rains, or when I am just fed up with pulling weeds.

Johny, I live about 60 miles east of you so our weather is same except we get more snow.

I dislike our winters  very much, yet to my surpise I find I do just as much modeling in the summer. The basement is very cool and inviting in the summer.

Me too Im in the shop at night or when it rains which is every afternoon untill the fall lol

The amount of time i spend modelling doesn't change much from winter to summer. Most of my modelling is done in the evening or the odd weekend when the weather is bad. The only time that will effect it is if we go away for a few days.

Yes, I tend to spend time doing yard work and "honey do" lists that would normally be used to build. Then because of the smaller amounts of time available, I'll end up doing something on the computer that I can do quickly instead of getting out my modeling gear and starting something that would require hours.

Also will take more day trips on weekends that puts dents in my modeling time.
