Modeling Accents

Thank you for sharing- it always helps to look in different sections of the magazine rack or areas of the hobby shop.

I like to think of model railroading as one part of the overall hobby of modeling in miniature. To me the overall hobby is one great language (no matter what your spoken tongue may be) with many different fields of interest that I like to think of as accents or dialects.  Just like visiting a foreign country, we can learn many things to apply to our own hobby of choice by looking around at what other model hobbyists are doing in their area of interest.  In fact, I would venture to guess that most MRH readers have built a non-railroad model or two, probably more.  

Personally, when I need a break from model railroading, I’ll grab a plastic car, aircraft of ship model from my stash and work on it for a while.  Not only does if help hone my modeling skills, it gives me a good boost when I return my model railroad projects.

Thank you again for sharing.  I’ll have to pick up a copy next timme I’m at my LHS.
