The master, let loose in the maritime section! That ship is one of my all time favourites. I wondered, does the contemplation phase delve into scale? 1/350 perhaps?

TheBaron Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Heart's not in this right now chaps. With the impact the virus is now having my attention's increasingly needed elsewhere. I don't talk about the nature of my job as a rule but it involves working with large numbers of young people, and at present, this means pastoral as much as professional care in helping them through this uncertain period. Mentally and emotionally there isn't much left over at the end of a day as a consequence. The Vixen will doubtless prove a good antidote through this period, but I'll save any little bits of progress up until there's a significant enough body of stuff to post. World's changed right now and I wish you each safety in the whirlwind. Tony 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 What everyone else said Tony... Why don't you start a simple kit instead? Our model club webmaster has revived our long dormant website and started a 'Covid-19 lockdown group build' encouraging us to start something new. I chose my Roden T-28 Trojan as it's a nice, simple kit, and just doing a bit a day on it and interacting with my friends on line is helping to take the mind off the monstrous state the world finds itself in, if even for a short while.... Take care and try to stay safe everyone. Keith 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qn30jEkPz7 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I think everyone's head is going to be messed with at various points - often quite unexpectedly. I've been self-isolating for about a week and a half and mainly been ok and getting on with things but suddenly felt tearful as a random song on a playlist while I was cooking hit just the wrong emotional note. Look after yourself and hopefully we'll all come through this knowing to be kinder to each other and value the important stuff more 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but the sad statistics (I don’t want to give it, but it is available on the Internet) from Italy says that young people under the age of 40 have no problems whatsoever with this virus. Therefore, they should take care of those who are older than them. Unfortunately, they absolutely do not think about it ....
