Hi Missy, very effective sacks there and the goods shed doesn't look too bad either!!! It was really nice to meet you at St. Albans the other week and I must say that, while your models look exceptional in the pictures you post they really don't do your models justice when I got to see some of them in the flesh! B)

On a side note, I'm I right in thinking that you did some work using a Craft Robo cutter a while back? If so how did it go and do you still have the machine?

Hello Atso

Thank you. It was nice to meet you too, Im sure our paths will cross again sometime.

The robo cutter is useful thing to have if you can afford it. I havent got one myself but know someone who has and we tried it out to see what it can do. The main advantage was it can cut plasticard (we were cutting 0.5mm thick stuff) where laser cutting couldnt. There are people who have got good results from using one but in my opinion I would rather stick with laser cutting as I can get finer results from it. Unfortunately though at ??17k for a machine there is no comparison to a robocutter there!

I've made a note of that technique for making sacks, thanks

The shed really looks great Missy, but I can't help thinking that man looks a little lonely sitting in a big, dimly lit room, with only a small pile of sacks for company

Hello Southernboy

Thank you. I have now given the guy someone to talk to and I will post a picture when I next do a blog entry.

I think that shed has great atmosphere Missy. I can remeber poking around sheds like that when they were still in use. Read Signalman's morning by Adrian Vaughan to get an idea of what working at a small station was like. On a small station like this there would probably be one man to do the work and in busier days he wouldn't have time to get lonely!

Your work is some of the best I've seen.
