  1. Hello everyone,

    It was tricky, but I made it. Back in the U.K.. Attended the infected blood hearings in October.
     

    Persuaded SingaporeAir not to charge me £600 to bring a wheelchair over.

    Managed to pick up the by now ancient Volvo 940 Estate, get it through the MOT, taxed, tested.

    Insurance was a monumental faff.

    One that matched the rather Nordic long story telling name of the company I used.

     

    Now settled in a nice spot in Dunoon.

    A little bird told me that @Scimitar may live here too. I’m not sure if there are any other Scot or adopted Scot  Britmodellers nearby?

     

    Please get in touch if so.

     

    It literally nearly had me pushing up the daisies, the relocation, but recovering now.

     

    No tools, paints, brushes nothing.

    My wife and family over in Oz for.  Christmas. Like many of us; I will most likely be alone and mainly bedbound.

     

    The latter part may start to change in the new year; the Involuntary separation from my very loved wife; a challenge.

     

    She did send a couple of nice little Dekno resin kits over. Modern, lovely quality Dekno.

     

    I will need a razor saw, knife, cutting mat, all the essentials. So close to Christmas and after the vast expense of the move; a bit tricky.

     

    However; I will have a look in the boxes and online and consider the most economical and rapid way to get modelling. It will help beat the “missing my wife and step kids at Christmas” blues.

      Good to hear from you Tony, I hope your enforced separation does not last too long and that you have as pleasant a Christmas possible in the circumstances.

      Good to hear you made it Tony and I hope the outcome of the hearings make it worth the trip - fingers crossed for you here :)
