Yesterday and this morning I've had a great time painting figures and populating my layout.
I consider such activities to be part of the arts and crafts of model railroading.
I believe model railroading expands our horizons in multiple ways. For instance, In my case, I was a mediocre student in art class as a child, and consider myself to be devoid of artistic talent. And yet, model railroading has motivated me to engage in arts and crafts related to our hobby.
Moreover, I have found that although I believe I will never be great at scenery, structures and figures and the various ways we decorate our layouts, I enjoy such arts and crafts, have steep learning curve when I take a stab at it, and end up with a relatively good result that is quite satisfying.
Later, I will post some photos of my recent creations.
