peebeep Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 It doesn't always occur but I've been trying to spend at least 30-60 minutes a day at the bench recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter s Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 It doesn't always occur but I've been trying to spend at least 30-60 minutes a day at the bench recently.During the week thats been about my aim too. It breaks up the day. I've got a short attention span and find myself zoning out looking at the laptop. Half an hour doing something fun refreshes me.Its ridiculous I can't really go back to work.... I'm based in a university lab but it would be quite easy for me to do some work on my own either at weekends or early/late in the day. There's a limit to what I can do at home. The airfix breaks have kept me sane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I usually get at least 3 hours in per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter s Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I can spend a whole day modelling very easily if I'm allowed! I've just sprayed the underside of a Spit and a Defiant now which was about 5 mins with the airbrush and 20 mins with the masking off but thats it on those projects today. I learnt the hardway with water based paints to leave 24 hrs between coats when masking tape or spray varnish is involved. Nice alternative to a "coffee break" anyway....

T2B Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yes I can usually manage 2 - 3 hours a day. More if I'm off and SWMBO is at work or out shopping. I'm lucky I have my own work space and over the past few years have become more committed to my hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padefc Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 As suspected even with just dipping me toes into work me bench time has plummeted not happy about it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Everyone's work life balance is different! No kids now to run after or taxi here there and everywhere during my time off so I do get more time at my modelling bench. Well in my man cave actually. And I'll be happy when the TV gets back to showing stupid reality programmes cos SWMBO always sends me to my cave then as she doesn't like my running commentary. Tactics!!
