4mm scale agonies

Clean slate! They can be scary though, I find.

 

Just googled APCM quarries. Really liked the look of them. Especially this one: https://flic.kr/p/9SYzVc

 

But then, Gordon Edgar's superb photos can make anything look attractive.

That's another great image from Gordon Edgar. Nice find. Thanks.

May I make a suggestion as one who has so often had too many interests, too many things I’d like to model and never enough time to do any of it properly. It can create a terrible state of anxiety not knowing where to start and then not being able to start, leading to further anxiety as time slips by and there’s still nothing to show for it!
For the last few years I have found the most settling and mindful solution is to model a real location. It has really helped to focus my modelling since I’ve had to research a very specific era and site with all the buildings, track layout and rolling stock prescribed. Random diversions have dwindled to nothing as all my attention has been on modelling to a fixed set up. It’s still a lot of work to ‘get it right’ but it’s been a fantastic way of focussing the mind and reducing stress levels.  Perhaps this approach might help? I wish you all the best with your project and look forward to seeing it grow.

Good to see you back blogging here, Ian.

 

I'll always be grateful for your kindness in showing me around the Twin Cities on that snowy afternoon quite some while ago.. It

may have been cold but it certainly resulted in some atmospheric photos.

 

Hope the running is still going well? I am quite involved in Parkrun now, although of course it's suspended for the duration.
