What Do You Do When You Are Building A Model ???
Bit off topic here.....but what do you do when you are building a kit??
I'f i know i've got 3-4 hours to do a model, i'll lock all the doors so i dont get guests, take the phone off the hook and only have the radio going quitely in the back ground. I switch myself of totally from the world for those hours....the wife reackons its like being at school and having a maths test......your not allowed to make any noise

usually i try and do a couple of hours everyday and it takes me about ten weeks to finish a model, you can't rush these things.

helps get those fingers more relaxed when I'm working with putty...

Put one some tunes or the tv and work away. I get so into it sometimes I don't even hear the tv or stereo.

I close the door and sit at my desk inside my room infront of the computer!~ Surf the web, chat on ICQ, looking through AF, listening to music (Turned on really loud too).......awww. no wonder I always screw up my models!

I always do a step, then go do something else for a bit. Like post here.
When I'm painting, and I have to wait 10-15 minutes between coats anyway, I'm usually online. |

:bonghitte Before I can start modeling it's necessary to begin contemplating the task at hand,after I reach the fifth level of Yoga
(krisnon nndnok) I can begin ... to look for the modeling room ! Ater I get settled in,the two "ladies" I hire to play the harp while I model begin playing-softly. One on each side--stereo you know. As i sit there listening to the music I wonder what i'm doing here,by the time I remember I've lost the urge (to model),and come back to earth !!!!!!!!!!

I sit in front of my computer. First i throw away the keyboard. Then set up a good light, get my paint stuff and i'm off.
When i need to wait, for the paint to dry, i grab my keyboard and turn on the computer. I'm not in a hurry. Just relax and everything will be fine. (i hope this theorie has some effect on the quality of the model, we'll find out) |

What do you do when you are building a model?? Is it me, or does that question answer itself??
j/k Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to go on the computer when I'm doing a model 'cos me little brother is usually occupying that chair. So I just have to sit back and, well, watch paint dry
