Who would be interested in "Lunch Hour Models"?
Posted by DigitalGriffin on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 9:36 AM

For the past month, I've been spending my lunch hour working on models.

I thought it would be interesting to possibly see the progress of model building.  I would then post once a week. (5 photos, one for each day.)  Other people would be welcome to post of course.  I don't want this to be about me.  I want to show how much progress you can make on your layout with 45 minutes a day. 

Currently I'm working on the Gas Works, Storage Tank, and Coke Retort for a scene on my layout.

Do you think anybody would be interested?  I won't be offended if people said, "No, save it for weekend photo fun."

DG:

Sounds cool! Reminds me of an article in Model Engineer or maybe Model Craftsman about a lunch hour model-ship project.  (MC and ME, for some reason, tend to get conflated in my memory.  Must be similar addressing.)

You need my lunch hour, any time I want it, all day long.

Sounds like a great idea. Go for it DG.

What's lunch break?

I don't get one....

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....

2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
