4hr wait to be seen at A&E, despite my symptoms being possibly very serious.
Came straight home. If I die during the night I won't be happy.

Hi mate,
Was a bit of a worry to have a kip, wake up and find a great big red bruise on my face, bleeding beneath the skin about 2inches square. Looked like I had a huge strawberry birthmark. NHS helpline told me to get to A&E within the hour and that they'd be expecting me. Rushed there and got told 4hrs to be seen. Sod that, I went home. I figured if it was something like meningitis or scarlet fever I'd soon know about it and could phone 999.
Anyway, after 12hrs it seems to have faded a bit. I reckon it was a burst blood vessel. Got a cold at moment (I don't usually catch colds) so possibly the coughing, sneezing caused it to burst?
So, looks like I'm not heading for the big diorama in the sky and I'll be continuing with this one!
Cheers,
Martin.

FNRGGGGHFNNNNFFNNNRRRRGGGGH WIFE! With5mins to go before Vignette GB closes I thought I'd best take ONE photo of my vignette, even though I hadn't quite finished it..... so I took photo, put memory card in my laptop and discovered she'd taken 450 photos of trees today, the consequence of which was that I couldn't upload my single photo straight away, had no way of deleting all the others in bulk (she'd kill me)it and so I had to wait for the whole lot to upload to my laptop... and by the time they didI had no time left to upload them to pic sharing site and then here... so 4 months wasted.

Happy new year to all, and most especially those who have followed my progress throughout the past year. If it weren't for you guys, your advice, your tips, your own work which I look up to for inspiration, I wouldn't be improving!

Hi Enzo,
Apologies, but I did my usual thing of making it into the gallery for the Tiger GB with just a few minutes to spare. I was going to vote as soon as the poll was open, but I see that it isn't and my entry isn't yet included in the poll. I guess the poll won't start until you activate it and by then my entry will be included in the poll?
Is that the case? I ask only because I've stayed up well past my beddytime to enter and get the first vote in! hehe.

It seems I win a 'Gold trophy for most liked content' every October.
Thanks for all the 'likes' guys.

IT'S OKAY, I'M STILL ALIVE, BUT MAYBE NOT KICKING. IF I TRIED KICKING A FOOTBALL NOW, I'D PROBABLY JUST FALL OVER AND MISS IT, AND IF I DID MANAGE TO KICK IT MY KNEES WOULD EXPLODE!

Hi Clive, and thanks. I won't bore you with the details, but I have had a worsening of my health issues and am probably going to end up medically retired and possibly registered as long-term unfit for work. I'm finding it increasingly hard to walk and I'm afraid it meant that I had to keep postponing my visit to the Tank Museum. In the end I had to admit that I wasn't going to make it. I was very upset about that to be honest, but I did give the ticket to a mate of a mate and he said he made good use of it.
I hope all is well you with you,
Martin.

Ooooh I won a trophy!
Thanks BM. Could I have it in 1/35th scale? With dirt. And rust. And chipping?

1/5th of the way through replacing Ever Evolving Diorama photos with new host. Boring, boring, boring, tedious, tedious, tedious.....

25 quid for a tiny jar of Maluka Honey? You could buy a whole bee for that!

A member for over 2yrs and I've only just figured out how to add a banner to my signature!

Belated Merry Christmas to all BM members and visitors. Model-making has had to take 2nd seat for a while as a houseg move is on the cards, but we've no idea when, so I don't want to get stuck into a 'long job' and then have to pack it all away!
But I AM on time to wish everyone a happy and far better year ahead!

I've just made an introductory video for my new YouTube channel 'Badder's Good Diorama Tips'. Click on the link provided if you want to hear my thick west-country accent. Don't expect a 'studio-quality' vid, or even a hobby-room vid, this is pure mess lol. But hopefully it's entertaining. Comments welcomed. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5jioZlljQPHY05QzTQ2zMA

It's an ammonite, so well preserved that the mother-of-pearl is still present and has turned a brassy colour after reacting with iron. I have a dozen of them found locally.

My ancient Aztec packed up. Hours of dis-assembly, cleaning, soaking, re-assembly, more cleaning, dis-assembly and poking with a stick, I gave up and sat the thing in almost pure bleach for 20mins. Hey presto! It's working again! Thank you Messrs Domestos!
