Your Modeling Routine

[Pantherman]

I listen to music have a flask of coffee and have a set idea of what I can achieve in the time available to me.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Pantherman

Hi Pantherman and to all of you who also have Tamiya extra thin running through their veins

I am 64 yrs old and have joined a Forum for the first time, so I apologise in advance for the dumb questions I am bound to ask in the future

 

[Jakko]

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers, as one of my physics teachers used to say

was that just before he blew himself up with a failed experiment lol

for me... sometimes music.. instrumental lounge jazz , sometimes quiet. sometimes a cold stella , sometimes not. either way it seems the hours go by once in the "zen" . if i go down and get some large tasks done , or just pick at a few pieces or details on a weekday evening, i still walk away closer to completion and satisfied either way . its all good for the mental health which is why most of us do this.

Totally agree. Pantherman

Mental health...total agreement!

For me, that means time to calm things, slow it all down, allow the world to spin around you while you remain tranquil in the center. I listen to music sometimes, but usually some podcast, and usually not related to models although I do listen to them some as well. I used to have movies or shows, even youtube, but they require more attention than I can give.

The only thing common to my modelling routine is spending a shorter or longer amount of time on the floor looking for a usually small part which flew off the sprue just before. There's a lot of kinetic energy stored in those sprues, someone should study the use of plastic sprues from model kits as an alterantive energy source I think

Just entered the forum - my routine is wake at 0500 to prep breakfast and lunch for my wife; walk the dogs then tea and repair to the Cave; music on (Enya, Clanaad or Classical etc) then chill for an hour or two with the smell of TET and the gentle sound of surgical steel on plastic or the sibilant hiss of paint-filled brush to relax the soul --- and THEN 1200 hrs up to the pub for a couple of hours of pool, beer, laughter and camaraderie before dedicating the rest of the day to the homecoming of 'er indoors! Love my routine!

Sounds like it is around 2100 to me ;-)
