    Wasn't 2020 Rubbish? Finally feeling better and ready to rejoin the fray. Total apologies for abandoning the T-34 STGB so suddenly but my mind decided not to play anymore and I went off to talk to the fairies for a while. They send their love by the way.

    Feeling pretty good this morning as I've just had an uninterrupted night's sleep for the first time in a very long time. Phase 1 physio on my shoulder done and my right arm is starting to function as designed.

    Today I shall mostly be sorting out all the part-builds I have to get a few 'easy wins' selected. Then the real rehabilitation will start......:D

  3. SleeperService

    Having believed I was indestructible I've now accepted I'm not. My right arm has been coming and going due to an impacted nerve in my shoulder. At the last appointment it was decided that it was ready to be operated on. Going in Tuesday in and out the same day 😮 should have some function within a few days!

     

    Best (pre)Christmas present ever!

    NORMAL SERVICE WILL BE RESUMED SHORTLY

     

    Just in case anyone notices I'l be disappearing for a while. I've got rather a lot on my mind at the moment and need to make a couple of tough decisions. No fighting while I'm gone please.

    9 Years since my meltdown and I'm finally at the last step to normality. Spent the last two months sorting all the stuff I accumulated during my 'comfort buying' periods and have just started disposal. New shift system at work from Sunday 2-2-3 on/off so more time to sniff glue!

     

    It's been a long slog but I'm still alive and if anyone feels overwhelmed a ready ear is a message away.

    Hi Tony

     

    Thanks for the follow I'll be reciprocating shortly. Been using a tablet the last few days and agree that it's a lot cleaner now.

     

    I hope you continue to make a good recovery and I'm glad to see your recent episode hasn't cramped your style!

     

    Cheers

      Thanks Nick that's very kind :)

      I have only been able to do a little, I'm not sure I'll have a LaGG finished for the GPW GB, but it won't be far off.

       

      I haven't seen the forum on my Mac yet, just on the phone. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like on the 'big screen' :D

      All the best

    Sovereign Paints are fantastic!! Humbrol is mostly history to me.

      I was the same now I wished I'd swoped ages ago saved a lot of bad language on the last three builds.

      Used to love Humbrol paints but the quality has changed for the worse. Sovereign's Colourcoats for me as well now.

      Hi, I'm really happy you like them. I did too, hence the impulse purchase back at the time. I've been looking through the order history for a Mr S. Service but to no avail! Which colours have you been using? Some behave a little differently to others.

      All the best, Jamie

    scratch/re-building the step ladder for my SA-4 Ganef...tedious indeed

  10. SleeperService

      Agreed! How does anyone add canopy mirrors to a 1/72 jet?!! I thought modelling is supposed to be relaxing lol!

      There's a place in Hell where designers of etched sets are forced to bend and install every single piece they devised.

      I feel a lot better for reading those comments. Thanks People!

  13. SleeperService

    Finally getting back into a good place with my F-117 GB

  14. SleeperService

    Moved in, found missing What If GB F-117A parts except the canopy....

    1. Col.

      Col.

      Hope that turns up as well.

      After all the trouble it caused me so do I!!

    Decorating my new flat!

    1. MikeW

      MikeW

      Always a fun time. Do I put my model display case on this wall, or that one?

    2. SleeperService

      SleeperService

      I'd say both but the Girlie gives me a dangerous look.

  16. SleeperService

    Now recovered from my Manthrax model making to be resumed later.

  17. SleeperService

    Autumn the season of bugs and sickness.

  18. SleeperService

    Me and cat both poorly but struggling on courtesy of the duvet.

  19. SleeperService

    Is it just me or is BM very slow to load recently?

  20. SleeperService

    Trapped nerve in shoulder still a pain but I can do some model making. Nothing too fine though. That'll be a tank then....

    1. Darby

      Darby

      Had frozen shoulder once, no modelling or fishing for ages.

    2. SleeperService

      SleeperService

      Not a lot of fun. Some days it's better than others but at least it's getting better.

  21. SleeperService

    Looking forward to the Hinckley Show tomorrow

  22. SleeperService

    Rather concerned about the number of aircraft models I want to build....

    1. Col.

      Col.

      Ambition is not a problem until (as in my case) it is not matched by ability.

    2. SleeperService

      SleeperService

      That's the root of my concern as well!

  23. SleeperService

    Reaper now repaired! Bit of fettling needed then paint again. Missing parts found after I'd built new of ourse....

  24. SleeperService

    Gluing Reaper bits back on after dropping the model as I hung it up to dry, DOH!

    1. MikeW

      MikeW

      Every modellers nightmare!

    2. Darby

      Darby

      That just sounds Grim

  25. SleeperService

    Today I shall mostly be painting a cockpit.

    1. Col.

      Col.

      Any particular 'pit?

    2. SleeperService

      SleeperService

      That would be a Lightning Trainer cockpit. Followed by a frenzy of superglue and liquid poly.

    3. Col.

      Col.

      Good man! :D
