This is probably the last post I'm making here. Life just drew me the worst hand and I now need to focus on survival, so sadly all my hobbies and interests are now going to have to go to survive past the next few months.

Sorry to everyone who was following this, but like most hobbies, real life events kill the funds and drive that support them.

Hope you all have a good life!

Well damn.... it's been nearly a year since I've done a proper update, luckily I've still taken photos so there'll be a bulk update of posts soon.

This last year had been up.and down, with more down than up, so apologies to all following. Had to get stuff together and refocus, and re-evaluate some things in my life I needed to fix or remove to make it better.

anyways, more updates most likely this weekend, with pictures!

I have been really lax here the last month and a bit.

Real Life has had some fun with me and I’ve been sick a couple of times for weeks at a time, but I’ve also been both helping my Model Railway club build up its clubroom, which after many years of finally fighting for, it’s started that.

Also on that, I’m the co-show manager for the Miniature Trains on the Coast - Model Train and Hobby Expo, which has been a wild ride getting ready to host a show after a couple years without.

Which the show is on this weekend…

So I need to go to bed as bump in is in just over 12 hours 😂

I did build a Raffle Layout for the show… that counts for progress for me right? 😂 experience for when I’m ready? 😋

And lastly for this batch update, I painted up the Great Hall roof window frames to super detail once I’ve sorted the li...

And lastly for this batch update, I painted up the Great Hall roof window frames to super detail once I’ve sorted the lighting system, which will hopefully be in the next few days :)

Printed up a new dome for the North Wall, may reprint in resin later on but this will do nicely as a placeholder 🙂 also started printing the Great Hall multi floor system so I can do it’s lighting.

Time for some super detailing! Finally adding in those window frames previously made up and it looks so much better now!...

Time for some super detailing! Finally adding in those window frames previously made up and it looks so much better now! Just need to fill in the cracks for light bleeding and they’ll be done (and seal the top once the special feature upgrade goes in 😉)

And time to spray the viaducts to match the castle (minus the taped off parts that slide into the base, they already fit super tight!)

Looks amazing together… so of course I needed to improve. Starting on chopping off the great hall front tower and reprinting it so it’s not an Icecream/dog turd tower anymore 😂 now it looks the part!

Roof dried and came out great. While drying a bit longer before taping from the next part, I reprinted the castle viaducts, starting with the bigger one, and it turned out great!
