k3pkh4u]Interesting stuff this Cynric, I was somewhat supprised to read you were considering 4mm :shock: ...........but I'm glad to see you appear to be over that one now
:laugh: .
One thing that does occur to me if I dare say it is, have you considered doing 7mm finescale rather than S7 ?, as an outsider the ultra-finescale nature of S7
seems to over complicate things & mean that kits take forever to build :scratch:
Phill :wave:
Yes, and I am

TBH Phil, the problem with 7mm is the time it takes to achieve anything when working alone, im the sort of person who gets lots of ideas, but I need to act quickly- the build time and cost for a layout precludes this so I get frustrated. one of the undeniable benefits of 4mm is that is is possible to economically speed up this process. as I said, I envy people like you who have a 'vision' and stick to it. all my 'visions' suffer from 'strategic drift' :laugh:
I have done some more clearing this afternoon and this shot shows the distance from my desk to the far wall with a 7mm and 4mm hymek next to each other, hopefully it gives a sense of the distance. I know its not much to the gardeners but its quite a way indoors[/quote

Hi Cynric, I think we all suffer from lack of progress whether its because of cost , time or enthusiasm. Over a 9 year period ( thats the length of time i've been modelling in O ) i have struggled with all these issues and i look at friends at my railway club who model in 4mm and think why do i bother.
However i took about 3/4 years before i finally stuck with a "vision" and even though i had, once at a show (telford) i saw all the other kits n bits i could get and found that it was very distracting. quite easily divert away from my "vision" After a while i finally stuck to my guns and here we are WR Hydraulics.
