Hello all,
This public post function is useful
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 .
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 ).
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,
I am sorry I missed your initial message. Life sometimes deals us funny hands, and there is not much we can do, except remain positive at all time. Look at the bright side: you have the chance to be admitted into a first world hospital, where even the food is decent!
If we get really sick here, going into an hospital is likely to kill us. So we do not get sick... or try not to!
So relax, take it real easy, and never loose sight of the fact that you are going to beat the damn thing into submission!
Take care mate

I seem to be the only like. I don't like you're an in patient, I like the fact you're around bud. I'll be sending you the positive vibes, hopefully feeling better soon and back to life outside of hospital. Just take things easy.
Crazing on the Jak you say? Bummer, you can sort it out when you're tickety boo.
all the best Mr Tiger sir.
Johnny.
