I work from 3 PM to 11PM so I usually do my modeling from 12 to any time between 1AM and 4AM. Then If I can, maybe a little during the day before work. I don't build every day though. I would be much too tired all the time.

Hi, I model whenever time premits and the inclination strikes. Since I'm retired, you'd think I would have loads of free time to spend, but what with baby-sitting my two grand-daughters everyday from 7 in the morning to around 4 in the afternoon, I have to sneak it in any time during the day while they are both taking their naps, or later on in the evenings, provided the boss has no other plans for me.
Now if only I could find some additional energy someplace or other...... as being 55 does have some disadvantages to it. And lack of a certain amount of energy that I used to possess, in what seemed an inexhaustable supply when I was younger, is one of them. Ha!
Hey, they're both asleep now, I'd better shut this thing down and head for the garage while I can!!!!!
Take care, Sgirty

I model between when I get up till I go to bed, being disabled  
 has some advantages but it doesn't out weigh  
   the disavatages. I model for sometimes for and hour or varies if I am feeling up to it. my average is about 10 to 30 minute clips. 
But when there's a Yankee game on
:-) :-) :-) :-)
  
  
  
  I don't model at all time the pregame and post game is over. Then I check on here to see if there's any interesting things  going on here I stay here for about and average of about 1 to 3 hours a day. 
Happy Modeling

I try to get at least an hour in most evenings but not always depending on my mood and what my   :-)8  is up to. 3 of the 4 Friday evenings are goodafter we go out for dinner and a few  
. (The Mrs. is amazed that I can have 4-6 White Russians at dinner and then do fiddley work on a model while having a couple of after dinner beers.) Saturday late afternoons and evenings are best for me, but I poke at it whenever I can. Especially when she must watch her Red Sox.

Never!  Well that's what it seems like lately.  Damn house remodeling.  I'll tell you I have always wanted to own a house and couldn't wait to buy one.  Now that I own one I sometimes wish I was still living in an apartment.  I had nothing to do there but build models.  Neh...I don't really wish that.  It's just that I have absolutely no time for my models right now.  I must have been crazy signing up for three Campaigns. 
I have to make some time this weekend.
