Tuesday this week we visited Bob Harding’s place and checked out more progress on his layout. The
work of art keeps getting better. Those in the NMRA Division 1, need to
definitely mark the 19th of October in your diary, as that meeting is
now at Bob's place. NMRA members will be able to look over this excellent layout for themselves. The next Tuesday Nighter’s meeting is my place is in two
weeks time, that will be a bit of a let down for the boys, after visiting Bob’s.
On Friday Afternoon after work, I painted up about 40
pallets in a nice wood colour. These need to be bagged up for sale at our next Buy and Sell on the first Sunday in November.
On Saturday on my way to our Clubrooms I picked up some more styrene so I could make
another 50 pallets. It was our AGM and I had completely forgotten about that when I rocked up. I completed the first string of 25 pallets last
night. I hope to cut them into individual pallets tonight while watching
the cricket. This afternoon I cut out some styrene shapes for my next
mass produced modelling project. I hope to work on it during this
week. I may make the first model tonight again during the cricket just to check out how they fit together.
I will be making about a dozen three cubic metre industrial bins. These
will be built as per the article in December 2018 Australian Model Railway
Magazine. It has been a while since I made some of these items, and I
think the market will tolerate some of these in the local hobby shop. Who
knows some might appear in Aurora Models next weekend.
Today I went out and picked up some cans of spray paint from
SuperCheap Auto. Unfortunately I could not get my trusty Yellow Oxide
Primer. I will have to look in some other stores. I do hope they
still make it. It is my go to yellow for painting many of my styrene
models.
