Martian Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Happy 41st Anniversary (styrene) Bill, glad you had a nice time in Colorado, a beautiful state. Like everyone else, I enjoyed seeing the pic of you and Mrs Navy Bird, but with just a hint of disappointment that you weren't dressed like cow flinging French Knight stage whispering, "I told them we already got one." He could have at least put some armour on for the picture! Come on Bill, you are slipping! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! I blow my nose at you!" Got to be one of the best films of all times. No modelling today, as I'm off to the hospital for my monthly chemotherapy. This time shouldn't be too bad, as I will only be getting the toxic chemicals, and not the really toxic chemicals. Thumbs up! Tally Ho! I'm really glad I had the in-flight refueling valve put into my chest. It's almost as quick to access as an F1 car. I think this photo was from one of my first chemo sessions for Cancer, Part Two, sometime in early 2015. Bloody carcinoma, but we're killing that bugger one cell at a time... Cheers, Bill 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Bill You have my admiration for the fortitude in what you're going through. I'm glad you're smiling and that to use a British term "You're keeping your pecker up". No idea what a pecker is, but make sure it doesn't wilt otherwise the sky will fall in. Apparently. Oh and make sure you finish the Sea Venom. No pressure........ Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 May I just reiterate what the others hath said Bill, good luck fella. So that's what you look like !, can't imagine why but I always imagined a swarthy, 4' 11' native American smoking a peace pipe and driving a Chevy Pacer and instead we get a healthy looking bloke wearing a flak jacket, a cheery smile and extremely positive mental attitude !...what a let down.. Btw.....I sincerely hope that once the IV bags are empty single malt will be used as a suitable replacement, (honour of the regiment and all that). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what "pecker" means over on this side of the puddle, and "keeping it up" seems appropriate in an odd sort of way. I'll do my best, but please remember that I'm also getting old, and I have yet to add that certain pill to my apothecary kit.

Btw.....I sincerely hope that once the IV bags are empty single malt will be used as a suitable replacement, (honour of the regiment and all that). Single malt it shall be, and the first toast is to honour the renowned General, military mind and scale modeller extraordinaire. Concerning my gentlemanly good looks, I'll have you know that 1.5 stone were lost between the photo in post #503 and the previous photo in post #484. Call it what you will, but cancer is a damn good diet! Now, about that Sea Venom. I was all prepared to add the wings tonight only to discover that the jury struts are too short. Those in the kit are about 20mm long, but in order for the wings to be in the position that I see in photos, I think they need to be at least 25mm. Let's see, 20mm equates to 1.4m in real life - if Steve is listening in, perhaps he can tell us the actual length of the jury struts. They just have to be longer - otherwise the tip tanks would nearly touch each other. I think I'll wait until I hear from Steve before I go any further.

Sir Martin Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history! Cheers, Bill 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
