Ratch's 2020


Ratch

Recommended Posts

This year has been a little less productive than previous years. A year ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and I sorted out my diet and set upon an exercise plan. This has cut into my modelling time, but I have lost 7 stones and now weigh less than when I played rugby thirty years ago. My diabetes is in remission and I'm almost totally off the medication prescribed. Enough of the incidentals - back to modelling.

My first completion was for the BM Mustang GB.

A heck of a year. Well done for shedding the pounds and getting on top of your health! I love the way you dive into any modelling genre with no fear. My favourite (if I’m allowed to have one) would be the Cuirassier - a very unusual treatment of the subject.

 

Regards,

Adrian
