The Joys of model-making as a business!
As many of you are aware, about two years ago I formed my own company - 'Perfection In Miniature', offering a
model-making service covering most fields. Since then business has grown (hooray!) but personal modelling has
virtually ceased (Boo!) - the joys of turning a hobby into a business!
Activities have included making a model of a set for an upcoming film (just a little diorama - a mere 3m x 2m when
assembled). Its a War movie - hence it's got lots of miniature soldiers etc - must find a more suitable blog!
However railway interest have been to the fore assisting a modeller who has - in his eyes - become incapable of
modelling to his own high standards. Hence we have been working together on a model of the first LBSC station at
Midhurst (now completely demolished and disappeared!)
This is the state of progress after about 8 months (faster now that I have retired from my 'day-job'). Basic
trackwork is complete, with most points operating on the 'wire in tube' method. As 'homework' I've also modified a
commercially-made model of the main station building (mainly the windows)and built other scenic items ready for
installation when the track is wired-up, checked, painted & ballasted!. Not too long then!
Anyone interested in the other activities is welcome to check out the facebook page at 'Perfectioninminiature'.
Who knows, the next update might actually be about some personal modelling!
Regards
Ian
