I hope no later than 2005! My wife is getting straight "A" and has been able to bypass a few classes so we are really ahead of schedule. I'm kicking around the idea of getting back into hobby show vending and mail order. A club does sound real good, doesn't it!Wink [;)]

Year 'round is the best time of the year to model! That being said the coldest part of the winter is a good time and conversely the dog days of summer (in southern Texas the mercury often rises above 100 degrees, not to mention the humidity and being from Houston, the air quality is sub par) are great days to stay inside and work on those models!

Over and out.

A no-brainer...winter, especially here on the East Coast when the weather is usually lousy....although I must admit, if I find a particularly desirable model, I'll jump right on ito matter what the month!
Right now I'm looking for the Skybow 35 scale US WWII 3/4ton Weapons Carrier WC51/52, a vehicle I drove which carried my radios and a 50 cal.MG while I was fighting with the 25th Infantry (Tropic Lightning) Division on Luzon in April, 1945. Loved that truck!

Just before christmas...ie now.

Seems like I'm always working on some model to give someone for christmas.

A fully restored scratchbuilt rigged galleon for my family in law, a 1st gen rx7 for my brother (decked out with all his details) and a MGB from Airfix that I'm converting into an american-drive, rostyle wheel, and newer console car.

Whew!! if I make it...I think there might be some happy people out there! Smile [:)]

All year. Summer I usually get a lot of body shells painted (I spray can outside) ready for assembly during the winter. As Christmas-New Year is the long summer break here in the southern hemisphere I usually get time to complete 2 or 3 over that 3 week period. I have been know to take models on holiday, usually when they're at the decalling stage and do that in an evening or 2. Any wet weekend is good too, any time of the year.

Winter, provides the best opportunity...usually busy with outdoor activitiy the rest of the year. Just moved north from the south so this winter should be much longer and colder. Great!!! more time to be indoors with the wife, kids, and hopefully some great kits.

Mostly at winter time, but also during the rest of the year on a regular base if possible. The Airbrushing sessions has to wait until an afternoon, due to the fact that I do airbrushing in my bedroom ( workbench is up there.)Big Smile [:D]

Happy modeling
