Another small N scale ship--a 136-foot wooden minesweeper. These were kinda funky in the hull, which made it a good subject. I used a built-up styrene construction rather than carving a wooden hull. It's practice. I had started a styrene 600-foot freighter, but that was too ambitious. I'm scratc building almost everything here.

No workbench... no layout. I guess the first item for me to get working on is to buy a house to put the workbench (and layout) in! I gotta say that I admire and envy those of you how post pic's of you layouts and equipment, much talent out there. But I mostly envy those of you with layouts! Mine has been gone for more than 5 years now and my condo (read shoebox) is too small to live in, let alone build a layout in.Thinking of getting some Kato Unitrack to at least test run some of my new locomotives... yeah, that's my next project

I'm concerned that my chair (an office chair with wheels) will be hard on the laminate. Anyone have experience?
I'm also considering lights for the bench. I recall a brand of bench lights called "Ott Lights" that were supposed to be close to daylight. Anyone ever try these?
