Quick update!

I don't know why I feel like I have to update this. I know no one is reading it. The only page views I have are from me, (before changing my settings) and some site tracker stuff. But for some reason I feel compelled to make this a priority. Almost like a journal for myself -- at least for now hopefully.

Anyway onto the "news". I decided to take a step forward and purchase a domain and some bsh. Im going to be using a more powerful blogging tool/cms wordpress. I do plan to create a custom layout/design for it in the future but for now im just going to edit the basic template into something I like. Clean and neat. Im currently having some trouble with my DNS propagation. But hopefully it will all be sorted by the morning. I simply just don't understand after all these years it can still take up to 72 hours to fully propagate. *sigh*

On another note, I was trying to draw some stuff up for my next project today, and I simply couldn't think of how I wanted to do it. I have ideas floating in my head but simply no direction on how I want to go about it. So I decided to jump on a different project I have been wanting to do for ages but have been delaying it. I feel like I give out simply to much information on what exactly im doing. So this time im just going to update you as I go.

I hope you enjoy model trains! Bahahaha -- yeah I took a completely different turn. This wont be a full on display. As badly as Id like to do one. I simply dont have the space, time, nor money to pursue it. That being said I remember when I was a kid I went to my local hobby shop and I saw this cool display they had. It was someone cut a section out of someones display and put it in a glass case. I always thought it was neat. Because I don't have to invest a shit ton of money into it and I can style/design it how ever Id like! Sadly my display wont be a working one. It will have a small section of track and a train with a few cars on it. But I do plan to make it so that I can make it connect to other parts. If I chose to later turn it into a full layout.

Now there are two types of model trains I enjoy. In my personal opinion HO, and N scale are simply superior. The reason I say this you get the maximum amount of space for the highest amount of detail. I think HO is more preferred but if I plan to create a full layout someday it will simply have to be in N scale (due to my lack of space).

The display Im working on will have a set size of 20" x 15"  using 2" base wood that is beveled.


Quick mock up

Okay well that's it for tonight tomorrow I will be working on getting the website setup and designed the way I like temporarily - Hopefully in time I can gain some viewers who share the same passions as myself. If you happen to be one of thos people who run across this blog and wish to follow me more closely I will be over at ItsTheJaba.com . Speaking of which I will be copy pasting all of this over to the new site as soon as its finished. Take care =D
