    Hello all,

    This public post function is useful :thumbsup2: 

     

    My second attempt at this post as I can't find an 'edit' button.

     

    Thanks for the nice messages following the last message folks :), makes a big difference.

     

    Just a quickie; after a few weeks of being a 'day patient' for various clinics, right now I'm an 'in patient'.

     

    I have to say that this Canberra hospital is very good. I could probably write a bit of a guide on 'hospitals of the world' albeit limited to Europe, Scandinavia, the U.K. and the Commonwealth.

     

    I'll give this one a food rating tomorrow. It's 3.18am and I have sampled their 'pesticide free' tea, and can vouch for it.

     

    I personally gave up on 'Anthrax Blend' long ago, it was making my hair a little brittle :fool:.

     

    I just wanted to apologise for the lack of comments on the Group Build and threads I follow. I'm allowed a mobile phone in here, and there's not a lot to do, so I may be able to catch up now.

     

    If it goes quiet, please send me a PM, as they appear in email, and I'll scribble something back.

     

    My Spitfire and Jak 23 are more advanced than the threads suggest, I've just been too tired to tackle the photos and text, but it will happen.

     

    The Jak has suffered with Alclad black gloss coat 'crazing'. I'm sure that I put it on too thick. That product takes patience (and a good respirator :wacko:).

     

    The Spitfire is in camouflage now. Many difficulties with spraying acrylics, and big differences in shade for the sane colour, from different manufacturers. Not good if one forgets with which manufacturer's paint one sprayed on  e.g. the first coat of 'Medium Sea Grey' .

     

    I also resorted to a hybrid 'spray, then hairy stick' approach, to try to get a bit of depth, make it look realistic. I didn't resort to that because my airbrush work was abysmal. At all.

     

    Cough.

     

    Happy muddling folks and I hope to be around more soon to watch people making satellite catching aircraft, record breakers, lightnings, unusual early submarines, Spitfires, all manner of Glosters, De-Havilands and more.

     

    Apologies again for the absence.

    All best regards

    TonyT

      Hi Tony

      Thanks for the update, and really sorry you are still not back to your old self. I could make a completely inappropriate comment about keeping your End up whilst watching the nurses....but I won't :wicked:

      Instead I would say look after yourself, use the time to get back up to full strength and hit the ground running when you feel better.

      In the mean time you can nag the plants off the rest of us that have no excuse not to be getting on with things, other than our own ineptitude. 

      Go on Tony you know you want to :fight: :evil_laugh: :deadhorse:

       

      cheers Pat

      Thanks chaps :):thanks: 

      Very kind and in the case of Pat's intended comment on keeping my end up, it can get a bit tricky around these parts with only flannel pyjamas on, I can tell you :o.

       

      What did John Noakes used to say to his sheepdog :hmmm: ?

       

      Feeling much better. Hospital food... very good, although the battered 'fish' tastes like battered 'dishcloth':S.

       

      I'm now getting busy reading all the fantastic builds here :thumbsup2: 

       

      Can't wait to get back muddling ;)

       

      Thanks again chaps; the balloons and grapes are lovely :lol:!

       

       

      All best regards 

      TonyT
