Unfortunately, I flunked the class. I’m no longer building models. Quit over 20 years ago due to my inability to do what I loved most. Building models. My hands are not as steady as they were 30 years ago, and eye sight is not what it was before. This, my purchases with Mini Prints are gifted to a good friend who has a large, home HO layout. At least I’m able to participate in monthly operations sessions on three railroads in my area.
All the best Bernard!
I enjoy the challenge of making something as real looking as possible. It keeps me young. It is fun. I have had HO trains since I was seven and I always said this is what I would do when I retired, and that is what I am doing. I work both on my own layout, volunteer at our club's layout in a museum, and help friends with their layouts.
Its been an eye opener for me and my wife when I talk to her. I'm enjoying every thing so far.
This is a really great, innovative course. It’s got me thinking Back to when I was seven or eight years old and I started building model airplanes. My dad was a fighter pilot in WWII, and I had dog fights hanging in the “skies” of my bedroom.
The course has put me in a whole different headspace as I answer the questions about the past and the reasons I model. It’s got me looking at my O Gauge k look stouts in a whole new perspective—as therapy as well as a hobby. I’m now thinking about the “why’s” as much as the “how’s” of what I’m doing.
Too new for my time period however, it will be perfect for my club layout that we are building for a Children's Science Museum.
Great figure(s)! Only issue was delicate nature of the legs on the goose. One leg broke off in transit and was stuck to the back of the goose. Easily repaired and it looks great now!
All aspects of my last order were flawless. Parts detail were excellent , looking forward to the painting process & using in my winter project diorama
I began thinking that I had not thought about my modeling in those terms. I enjoyed it.
Very nicely detailed a little dark for my location, but a light dusting lighted shade was perfect
Everything as expected and pictured in promotional ads.
I think you touched on all aspects of the hobby's "Lure" and spent just enough time on analyzing same in regards the hobby's therapeutic offerings.
I really didn't have any interest in your offering further "in depth", micro-looks at the hobby with further "courses" . I'd suggest spending time with your life and hobby before launching into further courses, as I'm not sure there is more to say that's going to be meaningful, insightful or worth your and our time.
Good overview of the reasons and impacts of modeling. Applies not only to model railroaders.
The alligators will be the center of my swamp scenes. They were better than I expected .
