I always find that when you revisit a piece of work after leaving it for a while, you can be way more objective, honest and more inclined to change it or scrap it. As you now have less emotional feelings towards it. Agree One of my favourite phases used many times on here is Park and come back another day with fresh eyes Edited August 6, 2021 by KNP 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always had the mindset that it has to be done right first time, but your willingness to re-visit and revise has been a revelation to me. Now all I have to do is change the habit of a lifetime! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure whether to be inspired or to despair that I could never emulate the skill and artistry displayed here. Serious question - is it possible to learn how to do all these things or do you have to have an inate talent to excel at this level? Welcome to RMWeb and Little Muddle @Nevermakeit Its certainly possible to learn the skills, with time and patience, knowing that it’s taken all of us an age to build our models. Inevitably, some things don’t work straight away…. Sometimes they will end up in the “spares box” as you attempt the second kit! Good luck. 7 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliff park Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Saturday was market day in Norwich in the 1950s, I can remember as a child vast numbers of cattle being herded through the streets down to Trowse station to be loaded on the trains. I assume it had always been Saturday. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
