Well today has been the typical day. I have lost my Swann Morton scalpel handle so I had to go on Ebay and order one, and a few extra blades. I love Swann Morton. Anyway I have to wait for stuff to arrive from Ebay and get set up.

I have a round kitchen type table, an old one and have put it in the conservatory. I have my tools, an A3 cutting mat, rulers, glues and stuff ready to begin. I have some plastic sheet that was given to me about a year or so ago, but I don't know if it is actually styrene. Some of it is quite thick too, but great to practice with. The guy was just going to throw it away so I was glad to take it off his hands. He was an architect I think and made some lovely models of what looked like town halls.

So now I must practice, just cutting windows and trying to file 45 degree joints carefully and gluing them together. Not making anything exactly but just trying to get some skills. The models will come later but first I must try to make a drawing in 4mm scale. I will have to search on the internet for photographs, but it seems that not too many are interested in Kings Lynn to Hunstanton. I enjoy the John Betjeman film of course especially the Snettisham bit but there's not much more, unless someone out there knows better (I hope).

The granary is still there though now it sells antiques and carpets. The stationmasters house, part of the old station is still there as well but is private. There is also the goods shed which looks like it is used for old cars now. I'm thinking they need a brewery although I dont know if there was one there before. Everything is so changed and the A149 bypass just misses the end of the station.

Thanks for the comments on my rather lacking front page, you are all kind.
