junkyardjeff Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I should get them all painted during the summer months since my basement gets a little damp in the winter and hard to paint and assemble during the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic trucker Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Tomatoes, radishes and a few other goodies for me, next month. I could do it now, but want to enclose the area beforehand. Don't forget the cucumbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belugawrx Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I tend to do just as much (or as little) modeling in the summer, as I do in winter. X2... Although,...Golf does tend to get in the way, after Easter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Don't forget the cucumbers.Perhaps, if there's room. I need to plant 50% more tomatoes than what I need, to offset what the squirrels will take or destroy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Squirrels, rabbits, possum, raccoon, and other critters ruined my veggie garden too many times. I turned the area into a palm tree farm. It's doing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 I wish it was not ending for me as I have been thinking about how to build the 36 Ford coupe but it will be there waiting for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It's just as miserable hot and sticky here in the summer, as it is cold and wet in the winter, so most of my modeling peaks in the summer and winter, but I still manage to work on hobby stuff all year around, regardless.

Greg Myers Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 My modeling season will probably expand when I retire but I still have over 10 years unless I hit the lottery. Start building your stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Too nice outside now so nothing going on in the basement but a cold front is coming with more rain and will be colder so I will be in the basement next week,got most of what I need to do so maybe I can finish two models before it stays warm.

junkyardjeff Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Due to the rain this week I got alot done so it has not ended yet but the days are numbered,I finished the 50 Olds and want to finish two restorations before I officially quit building for the year.

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Interesting. I wasn't aware there was a "season". I've always worked on whatever I wanted whenever I felt like it...and had the time. I'm buried under paperwork that has to be done by tomorrow, Monday, as well as extensive parts research for a real mechanical restoration project. Maybe I'll have time next week. Having to make a living can really get in the way of playtime. Edited May 1, 2016 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 There is a season for me,when it gets warm I am outside and models are on the back of my mind until it rains or get everything else I want done. I am ready to ride the motorcycle on nice weekends and not spend much time in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Oh I remember Going the IPMS nats in Phoenix some time back and was walking from the restaurant(or was it the bar, I can't remember) at 11 at night and it was 113 out. That is what keeps me in SoCal. Yes, the late night still in the 100 degree range does suck very much Edited May 1, 2016 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 There's a model building season? I've been building models out-of-season this whole time???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 There hasn't been a model building season here for a long time! Since the first of the year it was NNL East planning and working long hours and weekends in the office. I'm part of a global software deployment, that goes live on the 22nd. Yea, that's a Sunday. We'll be in the war room 24/7 that weekend, and until we are sure we're up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Basher Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Are there "Model Wardens" that slap you with a fine and take away your glue, if you build out of season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnslow Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 "Modeling Season" is a figment of our imagination, it's all about priorities and what you want to do, there's just more outside activities/resposibilities available when it warms up.

It's a combination of "there must be a job I should be doing" to "I'm paying big money to maintain this friggin pool, so I'd better use it!"

High octane Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 While I try to build all year round, I just hit a "slump" last month after the Milwaukee NNL. I hope that it doesn't last too long as I have a LOT of kits I'd like to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
