I also paint, draw, and (india) ink. My drawings are done with ball point pen mostly, with some being done with pencil. My drawings are mostly of railroad subjects, or incorporate some railroady element to them. My paintings are train-free for the moment
but that may change soon enough!
India Ink is a new medium thatI've grown very fond of!
and have eclectic subjects to them.
I really don't listen to much music for some reason, never understood why...
I used to build, paint and play with model airplanes.
Have a huge collection of plastic army men (literally 1000's!!!) and various military equipment, even with a brio munitions supply railway, like in WWI. I used to set up these thousands of troops and tanks, and planes out in the part of my backyard. I had a scale legnth airfield with hangers, aprons and a control tower, a training area, mountains 2-3 feet high made of dirt with roads, tunnels, and 'secret bunkers'. I ALWAYS had some sort of river, lake or Dammed River lake combo too. boy, that was SO much fun!!
Built many 3d detailed paper aircraft, like a 1:20ish model of a USAAC seversky P-35 and a USAAF P-47D thunderbolt, all out of paper!
AM a member of the Pacific Locomotive Assoc, and the NIles Essany silent film museum.
Also out of paper I build 1:87 scale buildings, although they're HO scale, I don't use them for my layout because they're mostly city buildings. I they're called SKYLINE structures, and If any of you want one, contact me with what you want, and I'll pour hours of work into a cool builng for you!
My final fascination is industrial archeology...I go to abandoned indistural lots, or just 'repurposed' builings, ad look for interesting archectural features, to incorporate into my SKYLINE buildings.
