Swordsman Shelf of Doom Restarting My old Builds

[Swordsman]

This is what's up so far ... My shelf isn't big enough for all of them ...I'll get these out of the way then add more ...

:woohoo: I'll put this Here ... Ya'll can Move it if there is a more appropriate place ... I added a self to the Bunker today ... I have three kits there that have been started on another forum .... and that Forum went away ... So I'm left with these builds and many more ... so Much I don't know where to start ...

Anyway I was looking for some ignition wires for Christine ... I had some in a kit I started back ... :hmmm ... when I 1st opened Greenville Hobby Depot ... June 31 2009 ...

We hired a Rubber tired trolley for Rally Around Greenville ... The main trolley stop was at My Bosses Business ... "East Texas Railroad Collectible's & Toys"

We had a Vendor day where they could set up tables and sell their merchandise ...

We also offered Motor car rides ....

Also this will give Ya'll some info on my Background ... I modeled all my life until I Got married - Divorced - Married -Divorced - Married - 19 years Now - Till death do us part ... :woohoo:

So I was hired by Steven to run His Railroad Museum & Model shop ... Plus I was to list 30 items a week on eBay ... this was hard to do because I'd end up at the last minute after Nine ... Dark outside.

The Old Katy Depot (Still Standing) had some creaky noises after dark Built 1880 ... plenty old to have Ghosts ... I used to see shadows moving up by the ticket window ... I blew it off as sleep deprivation.

Anyway My Boss was only selling Model Trains & Children's toys where the money was, then He got into Lionel trains that we had built a fairly large multi-level train layout in the Museum area ... So soon after that His purchases and my pay got mixed up .... Soon He owed everyone ... So the bottom fell out of everything and He closed the business. Well He owed Me about $4,000 ... Which I figured I would never see, So I made a deal to stay at the Depot for $200.00 a month rent + fix up the place ... the rest is History except I also started Modeling again ...

It's a kewl kit ... I just have been having trouble with Humidity ... Normally dry this time of Year ... But outside it's just dripping I sprayed Christine's Frame ... Might take 3 days until paint is dry ... the seat And floor fiasco was enamel paint I should have stayed with the acrylic's ...

Thanks Jeff ... I found some distributors in the Model Car garage web-site ... I'll try to get them on order ... The pie Wagons body is all taped and ready to spray the Magenta/Hot Pink paint ...

when I was on the other web-sight I contacted Tom Daniel's and He liked what I had done so far ... But I've learned so much more from you folks since I started with the forums ...

Ok guys & gals, thanks I need to update this thread. I'm still waiting on my big check, as the Oct check came and went without my being able to complete my hobby supply order. So I checked my basket and the distibuter is still coming, there are other things I can do, so if it's not too humid here I'll see about getting the new paint booth setup.

Ok Mark, I'm working on them, I'll be ordering the wires and things I need today, I get my SS check tomorrow. I owe money to people and the hobby business suffers during the summer, so all my retirement checks go to other people, one day I'll be in the black & can afford my dreams.
