Well I own my own towtruck so I have alot of free time, but It seems I'm more inspired at night, but I do build off and on all day, and have been known not to come out of the hobbie room, for up to 15 hour's music Is on mind Is right, not married, no kids, dont do the bar thing often, like to spend my money on plastic, so I build all thru out the day, night, whenever the mood strike's me, been down the drug and alchahol road, for many years, and waisted alot of my life, and alot of othere people's lives, so now I'm sober and clean, 9 years this Dec, anyway, sorry rambling, but I like to build, nothing like a show stopper, but I do a good job at it, I just started to build headers from scratch, and I'm teaching myself to build wired distributor's anyway. I build off and on thru out the whole day...

Whenever the spirit moves me. I have no real life and I keep odd hours, so if I feel like working on model cars at 4 AM, I do. I don't force myself to work when I'm not "feeling it", that leads to things going wrong and generally bad stuff all around.

I have not touched anything since the first week in September, other then one night when I did some work on my 1/64 models. Mainly just getting the first layer of putty on the body that is eventually going to be a 64 Mercury and painting the first shade of blue on the Bill Seifert car.

I do have to be cautious of the temperature. In the winter it's often too cold to work, as I have have to have the windows open to work on models. Right now it's 28 F. out. That's too cold to open the window.

In the summer most of the work is done in the middle of the night, when it's coolest and I can get by with my fan and not the AC. I can't stand the heat so if it's too hot, I don't work. And, the paint congeals.
