This past spring and summer have taken a toll on me, both in time/scheduling, and in my approach to the hobby (suffered a MAJOR distraction that rendered my opinion of the hobby in general as "behind me").
But not to worry; I'm over the hump and re-building my interest. And a project of this scope can never be left undone...

I ACTUALLY WORKED on this thing today!
What's killed me in the hobby in general is that my kids soccer has taken the dmominant role in my recreational life, over props. I now coach both kids in two seasons a year.
But just to calibrate, I have a few sections of cityscapes that I have to redo due to yellowing clear coat (not much - about a square foot of surface). Still have most of the lights on the upper dome and trench to do. And I am strongly thinking about sanding down all the detail on the dish and re-doing it with adhesive paper (like the real one).

Gonna try to keep the momentum this time. And I'll try to post more pics (that's the fun part, right?).

can't wait to see more pix.
Yet another thing that has been keeping me busy is that I'm taking a photograhpy class. I bought a new DSLR camera las fall, and want to learn how to better use it, and to take - you guessed it - low light imagery!
I have a tri-pod, and am getting better with adjusting aperture and shutter speed, so ideally I'll be able to share better pics of the lights on the DS.
