Hey, I actually cropped some scans!

 Modeling is taking up almost all of my time right now. I suspect this may be the new normal for me...models taking the focus in spring, summer and fall and cards taking over in winter. with periodic appearances in the other seasons. Right now modeling is going very well so I'm going to ride that wave while I can. 

I generally don't return to the work bench after dinner. I was doing that, but it was hurting my hands to do that much modeling. So, I in theory would work on cards after dinner, but it usually hasn't worked out. Instead of doing cards, I've been doing modeling stuff on the computer' scanning decals, researching reference photos, etc, or just messing around on facebook, twitter, etc. 

Some time last month I scanned some cards...finally, in early morning hours of July 23rd, I cropped some of them! And of course instead of cropping more I came here and wrote this post, haha. I finally got caught up with the decal scanning...it's not hard, I've just been exhausted from the trip and scatterbrained. It took maybe 40 minutes to do, but over a period of 2 months. 

Anyway, enjoy some hockey scans.

  2. Hope to see some more of your completed models in the near future. I wish I had to skills to make them. I just bought a Toyota Supra model, but doubt I'll ever build it.

  3. If building models brings you joy, than building models is what you should be doing :)

  4. It's depressing to see those Covid-era empty seats but it's great to see hockey cards on a blog. I bet you were happy to see the Knights win the Cup :D
