Start - Stop - Start: I'd like to more 7mm modelling, getting going is often not the problem, keeping going and finishing is often the issue. In this blog I'll try to give a commentary on what I'm doing and why and put the more specific stuff in the Forums.

The first post - definitely not the last.

So after the October 2012 Aus 7mm Forum - the Big Day In (BDI) and two years after I setup this website, I've become inspired to make this happen.  On eof the talks from the Aus 7mm Forum was a guy modelling British 'O' Gauge.  He was doing this on a shoe-string budget, buying low priced items on E-Bay, concentrating on failed build items and then re-building.  He was keen to get started and had projects and various stages of build.  One comment made was 'Just get started'.  I've been prevatgating about this website for two years, not quite starting - waiting for the oppoertunity to discribe a build from start to finish and never getting anywhere.  Over in the Forums I'll be posting up a build sequence of a small HO scale kit and probably some minor items for 7mm. 

 I've been concentrating on developing a few skills before going at a 7mm kit - so i don't end up selling out a failed build on EBay.   To this end I've been working on a few HO kits to get my build skill and painting skills going.  The first kit out of the shed is a Weico Bus, an 'AEC Regal IV' a common sight around Sydney when I was going to school.  I always thought these buses to bland and boring, and so I bought the kit when I saw it, that's the way modelling goes I guess.

 So have a look over in the Forums for the 'AEC Regal IV'

AEC Regal IV Build This blog will describe building a Weico Models AEC Regal IV. It's a HO kit 1/87 scale. I had this kit lying around and I'm trying to clean up my build skills before I attack the 7mm kits.
