what are people doing on their layout right now

[Neonoodle]

Im currently trying to lay a anyrail template onto a base board but keep getting a face full of cat!

Painting trackwork with Revell Rust colour enamel. Will stop shortly as I prefer doing this in natural light. Am also watching the Football text commentary on the BBC website.

Put a shoe box or something similar size near you and the cat will normally try to get in it. Problem solved, you can carry on with your plans

Painting the train shed roof (scratchbuilt) for the main station on my layout - it's taken a while to get to this stage, but this half of the layout is finally starting to look like a railway rather than an expanse of bare plywood and half-finished unpainted plastic buildings.

Also attempting to get an old kitbuilt Class 104 DMU into a presentable state (not an easy task!)

Putting lots of bushes on my layout, I find it easier to submerge Woodlands scenic bushes in white glue and put them in position rather than put glue where they have to go then try and put the bushes in place.

Teaching myself to solder fishplates as I continue to lay track!

That's what I do too!  They're much more robust that way too - less apt to 'shed' bits of sponge around the layout, with the attendant danger of getting into mechanisms.

Not much!!
Too cold in the attic!

I used to love watching my cats getting into a small box then walking round in circles before settling into what looked like a very unconfortable position but they were in and it was theirs.

cheers John.

Still adding varying shades of 'turf' in different areas, and today I made my bug-zapper-based static grass applicator, haven't tried it out yet though

Very slowly chipping away at the exciting move of layout from bedroom to luxury shed. Its in now, just leaving me the head scratcher of how to dump a load of stuff out the shed without the childer causing a hooha...
I need to make room for tools and proper modelling stuff!

[longbridge]

Just about to finish building six card kits for my Cofton Hackett layout.

Supposed to be editing a selection of photographs for putting on my website and sorting an example album from them. Instead, I find myself messing around with long exposures on my old Canon 40D mess-about camera.
