discussion Soooooooo Bored!!!!

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

I did the really smart thing of packing away all my modelling stuff ready to move and now I'm really bored on the evenings!


It gets worse as I realised I have another 4 weeks to go! I could unpack things but figure I will just try and read up as much as I can and plan what to buy first but its not helping much lol.


So what to buy first, some of the 1:32 Tamiya aircraft I like, maybe a 1:200 ship for a change or even start to recollect my Star Trek kits I gave away years ago. I'm spoilt for choice


Oh well could be worse

Or could it?


Maybe you could do a bit of figure painting? Not many tools or equipment, just a limited pallet of paints and a few brushes.

Get your stuff back out in 4 weeks you could have a kit built and still have time to put the tools away again Adrian

I hate the feeling of enforced idleness when you have time on your hands. I have spent a few weeks away recently staying in a hotel with not much to do other than work or prop up the bar. If I'd had a box of modelling stuff to take away with me I could have got a load done but there is only so much you can take in your checked luggage. While propping up the bar I did manage to expand my stash through the medium of the Internet though!

Yes same problem here sometimes. 2 weeks away not always much to do. Bought a gaming laptop for those times haha

Looking on line it look likes it has closed down. Shame cos it had a huge range of modelling stuff

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Oh no, mind you there was only the two of us to be seen for well over an hour we were in there

You and me both. All my modelling stuff is sat boxed in the garage at the new house waiting. Well tomorrow the carpenter will fit the bench and I can at least sort everything out. But I wont be building until I move and that won't be for a few weeks yet!!! But still I am occupied gradually clearing out cupboards and rooms at the moment while at weekends we shop for new dining table, beds, bedding and so on. Watching too much tv as well .....

I'm trying to condense from three bedrooms two sheds worth down to a 2 bedroom that I'll be sharing with no garage or shed in sight Since my mom passed away a few years ago I have spread throughout the house with my hobby and now its a case of sorting what's worth keeping and what's going in a skip !
