Call me crazy but I really like scale wood ship modeling – so far :).
Since I can not get a medical release for work – almost 2 years later – I have resigned myself to the fact that I have lots of time to do either nothing or something. Since forcing myself to do tasks that require fine motor skills is very challenging and frustrating but also seems to help me improve or at least learn new ways of doing things. I also have major mental problems with sequencing now. So, I decided to go for it and purchase a “real” wood model kit. After all they take years to complete and I seem to have the time…
I figure if the average completion time for an average person is one to one and half years I will be finished in three years.
I need to rearrange my computer room to add a work area large enough and since my local model shop had the model on sale and I saved $100.00 I can invest in some new gizmo’s for my dremil tool and a work table and maybe a small steamer to shape the wood.
Goal one: I will finish the model no matter how crappy the finished product may be.
Goal two: I will not cut, sand or chop off any of my finger’s in the process.
