The hobby ceases to be fun when you impose artificial deadlines on yourself.

Thanks Dave,  I've long admired your modeling and fortitude.  A deadline can be a motivator, but can as you say, begin taking the fun out of the hobby if too strict.  Creativity just doesn't seem to flow when forcing myself to the bench.  

Regards, Peter

Recently I have been working on a model of my great grandfathers porter 0-4-0 fireless cooker which was owned by GN and worked at a tie plant in Somers MT. I designed and 3d printed the entire model and then later added paint and hand rails.

I don't have an image that I can use here but here is the link to his museums website: https://miracleofamericamuseum.org/
