1. Finish cleaning/organizing the workroom (actually, I want to get this done before the holidays)

2. Resolve to regularly set aside time in the paintbooth, instead of constantly having huge backlogs of things that need airbrushing.

3. Fini***he last remaining white plaster areas that need scenery, and search and destroy any and all electrical gremlins.

4. Order any car & loco repair parts I need and clear that RIP track!

5. Finally start painting a backdrop.

All that should keep me more than busy for a year!

I tell ya, this 40 hours I waste at work every week is really cutting into my railroading time LOL!
