I have started to decal my first N5 Cabin Car in possibly over 20 years also for PRSL as # 239. The last time I did a N5 was the first Cabin I ever finished in about 1991. http://www.lanestrains.com/Cabin_Car_Photos/PRSL_N5_227.jpg With the new effort it has more details, better decals even though they are from my X29 set as a decal bash, benefits from better photos and 20+ more years of modeling experience. I brought 227 up as a reference. I was pretty proud of it at the time I finished it but it is undoubtedly going to be parked next to and compared to 239 when it is done. 239 is going to look different than 227 when they should look pretty much the same.
How do you stop yourself from doing that - comparing old to new? Have you spent much time redoing older models because they do not match your most recent project and current standard, or do you keep it as is for a record of your older modeling? I am notorious for starting a project and it goes back in the box not finished. That pile of "in progress" models is quite large. This N5 came from a group of 5 cabins almost ready for paint but not worked on for about 6 years so at least they are getting worked on again! 227 would have to be a dunk, blast and almost a complete redo. So the one force I have are many projects not finished at all stopping me from doing much rework.
