My figure painting skills are improving as I work hard on each figure.  Hopefully as I develop my skills the amount of time spent on each figure will go down.

I want to start painting the walls in the train room before I start the bench work. Most of the time this winter will be spent at the workbench painting figures and starting to produce some buildings and rolling stock.

I need to decide if I want to build my track turnouts or to buy commercial turnouts. If I am going to build my own this winter will be a good time to get started.

I did have a problem with to much paint on my workbench so I constructed a paint storage rack that I mounted next to the workbench.
