SCANNING OLD CINE FILM AND WORKING LIKE MAD ON DVDs

A very busy day even by my standards, I think at one time I was doing 5 different jobs. I've made progress on the diorama with a few vehicles positioned to give me an idea for my bus station location which used 9 concrete shelter kits which almost exactly mirror the old Wrexham bus stands. They will be in three lines. I've even been fitting TV aerials on the shop chimneys. Next I want to scan and then print out the two alternative terrace house rears which I sort of fancy at the front looking towards the road and just a dummy front out of sight. Anyway we'll see how it all goes together. Very early days yet and this is the first public view of work to date but before the TV aerials were added. I was very pleased with the backdrop which stood up well to fitting around and almost vanishes in the photo. The pavements has some manholes and the road has drains in the gutter.

I am scanning cine again now with modelling one end of the table and the scanner equipment the other, must be extra careful of creating any dust. I've edited all six DVDs which are mostly already with clips on Youtube. Youtube has a lot less hits this past month , I'm not sure what has happened but I guess it may be Asia, holidays , weather etc. Anyway the advertising revenue still isn't bad. We are snowed under with DVD orders today via all three net shops and mail order, plus phone! All will be ready to post Monday morning. It has been an awful wet day, never stopped. Our slide show this evening is from Burnley on Thursday. I must get the DVD covers done, I fancy Monday will be a home day as weather looks awful, tomorrow I'm down at Wythall bus museum twilight running day although the main reason is to pick up the 40 or more models that Yardley Wood have for me.
